Another Alvin Brown Endorsement

[billy]

Is the race getting any national coverage?

[Live_Oak]

A mention in the TU.

Ugh.  The one key word guaranteed to make the right-wing nutballs go, well, nutballier.  "Liberal."

Sadly, there might be a sizable demographic that won't vote for Brown because a) he's "liberal,"  b) he's a "democrat,"  and c) he's not white.

Sad.

Well... This is the first time I agree with the TU message boards.  it's surprising that the majority of the comments are in support of Brown.  Usually those guys are as far right as you can lean without busting your face. 

Erin Isaac gives me the creeps.  She's so heartless and doesn't care what she has to say to defame Brown and protect Hogan.

Words of a loser on a losing team ...

So after reading the front page write up on the Mayoral Candidate's Wives, I was left wondering if we're voting for Mike or Judy Hogan?  Really, she told him, "No!  Your favorite movie is not 'Old Yeller' it's 'Gladiator'!"

[jcjohnpaint]

yeah liberal because you can't get much further right than Hogan.  Anyone would be liberal compared to him.

[Timkin]

Hogan can keep going right...............out of town

including all those liberals in jax. City Hall

This is pretty interesting.  Most of these Jax Business Journal polls skew very Republican/conservative.  They just introduced this poll question today, so it's early yet, but as of right now it's 60%-40% in favor of Alvin.

yeah if anybody understand anything about these polls please enlighten me.  I mean who administered the polls and at a teabagger party?  Right if a conservative group administered the polls then they are going to swing toward that side and liberal/ liberal side vice versa.  Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't buy into polls.

[Ajax]

I don't put much stock in these polls either.  I just found it interesting, that's all.  It didn't show the results that I expected to see based on some of the other poll results I've seen on that website.  Now I've gone back and it looks like the Hogan voters are awake - it's 55-45 in favor of Hogan.  It's not as interesting to me now.  Call it a moment of 'irrational exuberance.'
