Audrey Moran endorsing Alvin Brown?

[tufsu1]

well one of those would qualify as completely unbelievably shocking...the other one a bit shocking

[JeffreyS]

Ya.. I'm a registered republican, but one who realizes that any party unchecked will plunder at will.

I am a progressive who thinks your words are wise about any party.  Power corrupts.

I would be shocked if Peyton endorsed Alvin. just shocked

Mayor Peyton would make sense.  The Mayor doesn't want to see Mike Hogan destroy his legacy.  Can't blame him for that.  He should push on through and endorse Brown.  Full circle from the defeat of Sheriff Glover 8 years ago. 

Councilman Art Shad has already endorsed Alvin Brown, crossing party lines to do so.  So, that crowd is inclined to head Alvin's way.

From today's TU:

And yet former (sic) city councilman Art Shad, a Republican who supported Mullaney, said he will be supporting Brown because Hogan is too conservative for him. Shad said he is troubled by Hogan’s complaints that the city residents pay too much in taxes because he believes Jacksonville is one of the cheapest places to live in Florida.

“I don’t feel comfortable supporting a candidate who socially and fiscally is just that far right,” Shad said. “Anyone who runs on a campaign that we’re overtaxed I don’t believe is being intellectually honest.”

I was quite impressed by Mayor Peyton's speech at the Martin Luther King breakfast.  He sounded like he sought to atone for the wrongs that he committed as a candidate and as a mayor.  It would be awesome if he would endorse, but I am not sure how it would play out...  Perhaps it would be nicer for Peyton to quietly donate some badly needed $$$$ to the Brown campaign.

Hard to imagine it.  The Peyton money was with Mullaney.  Presumably, that goes to Hogan.  But... I don't much see how.  John Peyton does not want to be succeeded by Mike Hogan.

John Peyton loathes Mike Hogan

Imagine that...two peas of a pod

I just thought of a great campaign slogan:

"What can Brown do for you?"

Pithy... no?

I believe there will be a lot of "R" voting  discretely for "D" in this race.

That is what my instincts tell me. I will be DAMNED if it is wrong.

If the voter turnout is over 25%...............Mr Brown has a chance! If not, then here we go again with another Republican Administration. I look back over the years and see the things that were not done for the benefit of all of Jacksonville, just the select few and don't wonder why since it is kinda obvious atleast to me! It is time for a change plain and simple!

[Timkin]

Well count 2 votes in , here.  Me and Ryan.
