Hayden will t-bag lil Stevie blumpkin
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be a close race and all indications are that the Rs are ahead. So this should be an important debate. Any County worker who lives in NorCo and fails to vote will only be able to blame himself or herself if John Brown and Cathy Allen get a veto-proof Council.
ReplyDeleteWord on the street is Hayden Phillips and Cusick are sure things.
ReplyDeleteI would imagine that Cusick, Phillips and Deitz are all ahead. Rs vote and Dems do not in these races. To have any kind of chance at all, Dems are going to have to come out.
ReplyDeleteWhen is the Lehigh County debate......
ReplyDeleteLittle Stevie Blunder is nervous about this election. He has been heavily campaigning, realizing that both his poor image and likely low Democrat turnout will sink his ship. He has probably already applied for another teaching job a NCC.
ReplyDeleteOf course he is nervous and running hard. I would expect any candidate to do that. Barron is well aware that he has made blunders, but he has also been a very effective check on Brown. Our Exec managed to make him look good. I also think Barron has matured. Hayden Phillips is a formidable opponent and the only way Barron can hope to win is if Democrats come out and vote. At tonight's debate, there will be an opportunity for voters tro see the differences between the candidates. In a close election like this one, a good debate performance can help.
ReplyDeleteAny idea if the debates will be televised or live streamed? I know it is in the Gracedale auditorium, but it would be nice if they were.
ReplyDeleteCusick will beat the shrink from Hellertown, but Parsons may keep his seat. So next council should be 6-3 R's.
ReplyDeleteNo seat is safe and only poll counted is election day! Best voter is an educated one who turns out to vote! May the best person win!
