If the election was held this Tuesday, this is where I would have candidates end up;
Jamison – 28%
TenHaken – 26%
Loetscher – 20%
Entenman – 15%
Anderson – 10%
Gunn – 1%
I’m not saying how solid these numbers will be come April 10. I will say that Paul, Jolene and Jim could mix those numbers all around and we could see any of those 3 in runoff against Jamison. If anything, I think Greg’s percentage may increase. I just think he has such solid support, it will be hard to keep him out of the runoff. We could also see a rally by Anderson that could put him in 3rd or 4th place.
why hasn’t mmm endorsed anyone? is it because he knows that the endorsement would be the kiss of death?
Then “ThuneHaken” wins, I am afraid.
If it is a Jamison or Entenman runoff against “ThuneHaken,” then it is imperative that left of center voters vote and vote for either Jamison or Entenman to hopefully prevent what I think is an inevitability….. (We can only do what we can do…)
In such a runoff, such voters need to be as enthusiastic for Jamison or Entenman as they would be for Jo or Kenny.
Let us not make the mistake Dems made in ’94, when many supported Hansen over Rentschler, (because they thought that Hansen was a nice guy) which has given us Hansen ever since with his PUC corporate interests, while for Rentschler it would have been his last rodeo even with a win then….
If “ThuneHaken” gets in the Mayor’s office. He’ll be an articulate spokesman for the 1% for the next 30 years – an other Thune – and we don’t want that, do we?
Seriously, in a runoff, I want to see Jamison or Entenman yard signs in Democratic front yards throughout the city…. If Jo or Kenny don’t make it into the runoff, that is!…. This is a defensive mayoral election more than it is an offensive race for Dems and other left of center voters this time…
#ItsTimeFor”Strategerie!”
He has admitted (I think on Belfrage) that he DOES support one of the candidates but would not say who. I know he wants to endorse Jim something fierce. It makes you wonder what kind of polling was done and what kind of popularity the Mayor has. The infusion of $75K of his own my money tells me that Entenman is NOT polling well, and with not letting Huether endorse him tells me Huether is NOT polling well.
Well, even at his height in ’14, he only polled 56% against Jamison.
