Mayoral Debate

Both buckethead and CityLife are correct. Diane has her favorite in Hogan. I have mine in Moran. When you have a favorite, you tend to analyze with a bias. I know I'm guilty of it.

So...

Here is the biggest issue among supporters of their own candidates. The "Bias Bubble" which MetroJacksonville and Times Union are stuck in Moran's Bubbles while the tea party websites/blogs, and I dare to say First Coast News are in the Hogan's Bubble. That goes for every other candidates.

What will happen is that the loyal supporters are going to get too comfortable in the bubble that they would get a false hope that their candidate is leading or making headway. I love Audrey Moran, but I try to stick my head out of the bubble to see what is really going on out there in the street where the undecided and lazy, but potential voters are going to do.

Only time will tell!

Well you know I agree with you, but when a candidate says nothing....I give them no respect. I do respect the other candidates because at least they come forward with some kind of a solution to the city's problems. I almost feel that Hogan is telling us that this city has no problems and all he must do is sustain the city. That is weak and pathetic. We hire our politicians to better the situation.

Thanks Buckethead. I appreciate your kind words. Now everyone, if you haven't done it yet, go vote!

Rick Mullaney is the obvious choice for Mayor. He has the plan and vision for our city, won't raise taxes and is beholden to no unions! When you hear him speak you realize he is the person we want representing Jacksonville. He is a man of integrity!

Vicki, it was nice of you to register here to tell us that. Good luck!

Blindly being anti union sure doesn't speak well of his belief in the American way. People can and should market their product (their labor) as best they can in capitalism. As long as they do not represent a monopoly on that labor which they don't as only around 10% of the people of this country are in a union.

There are more fascist countries if that is his interest.

Rick Mullaney is a man whose integrity and ethics completely dissolve in the presence of money or power. We have better choices.

If you like what has gone on in the City of Jacksonville for the last sixteen years then vote for Rick Mullaney.

Oh Snap!

Our newer members should get to know Dog Walker by reviewing some of the posts on the profile link (screen name.)

Not some pinko commie hack job liberal kook. Sensible, informed, independent, and responsible with each word typed.

I consider myself a conservative and always listen when some here speak (type). I can assure you, Dog Walker's opinions are worthy of weighty consideration.

If you are trolling for Mullaney, you are either connected or less informed than you should be.

Knowing DW myself personally, pretty well, I agree.

I just realized that I posted compliments about two posters in this thread.

I guess I need to admit that many of my presumptions are challenged here, and there are posters and contributors who are helping me broaden my horizons.

DM and DW are just a couple of them.

To name them all is to admit too much!

Timkin · March 19, 2011, 11:13:18 PM

Both are great people
