Oh never mind-- I just spent 20 minutes in a response-- and it got lost--and I'm too tired to do it again--see if I can short cut-- this is probably Al Marden's and my last term--so there is twopotential vacancies--Eric??-- really too snooty for this town---take his inheritance and trust fund from him and he might have to really work at a job--aside from playing the fiddle-- good grief he barely beat Howard DaMico----he didn't campaign-- that aspect of politics was beneath him---guess there are not as many Rudinistas in this town as I though--if he had campaigned as Lisa Blackmer did-- he would have been in---Chris and I were ripe for the picking--but OH NO-- that would be beneath Eric's self recognized stature---his attitude is that he was above and beyond the fray---OK---be a loser--you want an elective office??? work for it--don;t sit there with Kelly Lee--and bitch and complain about everyting---and lose Lee- he is infinately more boring than you are Eric----so I got lucky---so what----as I said I was ripe for the picking--but am still hanging onto the vine--for two more years----my total vote 768-- thanks to the 68 who have loyally votrd for me in the past--and thanks to the 700 who voted for me because Vinnie Melito is an asshole---chbpod
