Election 2011 Analysis - The Final Days

As we head into the final days of Primary Election 2011 HT still feels the election is too close to call. TG is pressing with a all out mailing and telephone blitz , TP seems to be gaining in momentum, and RW seems to be holding his own, as we go down the stretch. And KV well, he still hoping his slogan "Kevin in 11" will be enough to win the race. Sorry Kevin, but slogans don't win races, voters do and they aren't voting for you.
   The thing that makes this race tough to call is - How will the Mike Moore Democrats vote ??? Will they vote for who would be easiest to beat ??? Which in this case would be KV, but even this couldn't help KV's campaign. It might help him get up to10% of the vote though.

    Is there a conspiracy for Moore supporters to vote for Waiz in the primary ?? Maybe but I doubt they could pull this off. The logistics would just be too difficult to organize and there are strong backers of all three of the candidates who have a legitimate shot (TG, RW, TBP), but enough MM backers could put RW over the top.
   TBP has run a very solid, professionally run, clean campaign and seems to have the most momentum as the race enters the stretch. Look for women voters to possibly push over the top and those looking for a non traditional, non political, fresh new face.
 TG has his solid core and will campaign hard with the mailers , telephone calls and will benefit from a 4 candidate race, (3 serious contenders and KV.) TG will try to win at all costs, he's that competitive, but sewer bill, tax bills and the rising cost of the canal may be too much to overcome...

 KV well of course as you know "Catchy slogan."

You Got to Know When to Fold Em - He's Back !!!!

HT's back from a weekend gambling junket to one of Indiana's fine Casinos. Thanks for all the E-mails (Chopperwoman) from those who missed me. I guess everybody else is too wrapped up in the upcoming Election to miss ole HT. HT was pretty successful at the Blackjack table and as you can see several of the local girls were quite taken by a high roller gambler like HT. Unfortunately Mrs. HT wasn't as successful at the Slots and blew all of HT"s winnings. Again for those who were worried about me "I'm Back" and eager to catch up on the local internet and election news . I'll be putting my political analyst hat back on later this week so stay tuned to the BatBlog for more Election 2011 news.

Show Me the Money !!!

City Finance Team

Financial experts Pesty Flannigan and NSBHM (shown here enjoying several bottles of cheap wine while going over the figures) have combined forces to calculate the City of Jeffersonville's debt..The scary part of this story is Ed Z and the rest of the City Council, who are the fiscal body of City Government don't seem to really know what the debt is according to a thread on the CCC. And get this either does the mayor. Their figures only contradict somewhere between 30-70 million dollars give or take 10 million or so. So where do you go to find out for yourself what the right numbers are. City Hall ? No
City Council offices ? No
Ask your City Councilman ?? No Again
  Where do you find these numbers ?? Ask your waitress at Jerry's Family restaurant, that's right ,on the menu between a J-Boy platter and a Fish sandwich is the SBOA's report on the Jeffersonville City Debt. Try not to get any tartar sauce on the report the City Council hasn't stopped by and read it yet.

Ed Z. going over NSBHM's and Pesty's figures

  I don't know what's scarier that NSBHM a used car salesman and Pesty a bon vi vant, soldier of fortune, dancer have the correct numbers. Or that the fiscal body that handles all the City's finances doesn't have a clue. Or that to find out City financial data you have to go to Jerry's.Where is the rest of City records kept ? Cluckers, Third Base, Mick's lounge maybe ? Oh well it's only taxpayer money. Who cares and Who knows....

Jeff Mayoral Race and the Wizard of Oz

Has anyone noticed the similarities between the Dem. Mayoral Primary and the Wizard of Oz. We have the innocent newcomer Dorothy (T.P.) being shown the way to OZ along the "Yellow Brick Road" by the grizzled political veterans.We have the Tinman (T.G.) who doesn't have a heart and is a woodsman (he always carries his axe.) Who chopped down most of Vissing Park. Then we have the Scarecrow (K.V.) who lacks a brain and actually thinks he can win. Finally we have the Cowardly Lion who lacks courage.
   How does the story end up who will find the Grand Prize at the end of the yellow brick road. Will the Tinman get a heart and realize he shouldn't have chopped down Vissing Park or bulldoze people's houses for a Canal. Will the Scarecrow get his brain and realize he doesn't have a prayer against the others.Will the Lion get enough courage to see himself as Mayor once again. And finally will Dorothy realize she isn't in Kansas anymore she's in Politics now, and it isn't the same world she's accustomed to. Politics is a dirty business, can sweet , innocent Dorothy be able to handle and defeat her opponents "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" as they lead her down the "Yellow Brick Road" to the Land of OZ (Dem. Mayoral candidate) we'll find out the first Tuesday in May...

Signs, Signs - Political Sign Poll Part 2

Less than a month away from the Primary Election 2011, lets update the unofficial BatBlog sign Poll. Still looks close in the sign race in the Dem. Mayoral contest, Waiz, Galligan, and Perkins all seem rather even, with maybe a slight edge to Galligan. Over all though , Mike Moore seems to have a pretty good lead sign wise. Kevin Vissing signs have increased but a lot of them seem to be on vacant lots and such. I have noticed no one has placed any signs in front of any  of the graveyards. Don't the candidates realize that dead people have voted in Jeffersonville elections before, TG if anybody should know this. KV should explore this also and place one of his "Kevin in Eleven" signs next to those who have departed, he might find he has a constituency there.
   The City Council races haven't generated many signs other than Dennis Julius who has his plastered all over the City, in the Council at Large race. If signs are a indicator Julius will win in a landslide. Seen a few Samuels signs, a few Walkers a couple for the kid with game Matt Owen. Expect more in the fall, a lot of the primaries are uncontested for City Council. Bryan Smith- D looks strong in the new 6th Dist.he has a lot of signs up. One note on the mayors race there seems to be several yards with opposing candidates signs up. Are these homes where spouses disagree or do they just like to have signs in their yard ???
