REPUBLICAN FOR BROWN

[futurejax]

Folks, I know it's a disappointing night.  I am really upset that Audrey did not make the run-off.  But if all of the negative energy here tonight can be be re-directed into positive momentum for Brown I think he could pull it off. This link clearly shows it is anything but impossible.

Again, can't bring myself to vote "for the union man" and can't vote for Hogan so why bother voting at all, both will screw over the core.

Disagree.  In his website video the first thing he talks about is a vibrant core. And I don't see how he is gonna be the one beholden to unions when Iron Mike is the one with police/fire union backing?

Maybe I need a week to get over it, certainly not my first choice, and feeling boxed in the corner now :-(

I'm sick to my stomach.. I just cannot believe the outcome

MetroJacksonville can we get Alvin on here and get the scoop? We all know Hogan is a complete joke so our last hope might be Alvin (believe it or not he was one of my original choices at the beginning). I really want to know if it is worth voting at all, in the run off, and Alvin has been quiet for too long and what I have heard has turned me off a bit.

Well.....guess we can't blame "hanging Chads" for this one   .   I think Id much rather see Brown win. I may be in the minority.. but I am so sick at this outcome, and so disappointed, and I know I should have just expected the worst.  I felt this morning , as we went to vote, that today was the day for a change for the better for Jacksonville.  I could not be more disappointed.

You are not n  the minority...there must be a joining of minds behind Mr Brown...the alternative kills us all...

If Brown is not an Obamabot, then maybe I could see myself, a staunch conservative Republican, voting for a Democrat. But if we are just going to get the same type of crap thats happening now on the national level, then I would have to vote for Hogan, much as that pains me to say.

Well the "crap" happened not because of Obama but because of George Bush and the defunding and deregulation of our country...i do hope you can find it to help and vote for Mr. Brown and make our city the true "Bold city of the south"....right now it's the laughing stock of the south....lets try to make it better..

there's always a chance...what it will take is for the "establishment" in this town to financially support and vote for a Democrat.

, Ask Nat Glover how that ideology worked for him 8 years ago.

Good luck with that one, especially since WW Gay, Miller Electric and other well established entities have thrown support behind Hogan. And rightly so. What will Brown provide for them?

How so? The Stock Exchanges love status quo, its good for business and a stable economic region. Why does adding someone with almost ZERO local political experience to be Mayor such a great idea in these times of strife?

I fail to see any logic in that statement above, but I do see emotion.

I fear you have exposed the Hogan platform more than he would have wanted.

You can still delete. (but those darned quotes will still be there.)
