HT's Post Election Analysis

For the next several nights HT will analyze the recent local elections. Unfortunately HT wasn't available for his award winning  Election Eve Special, but will provide hard hitting analysis and go over all the races  and answer questions about the recent trends in Clark Co. politics









Jeffersonville Mayors Race
Tom Galligan seemed to have the perfect situation, incumbent, huge amount of money to spend on campaign, no state or national races, which usually brings a larger turnout, and  traditionally a position won by Democrat's, and an opponent that switched parties Dem. to Rep. at the last minute..

So what happened ???  What went wrong ????  Why is Mike Moore now Mayor elect of Jeffersonville ???

Top 10 reasons Galligan lost and Mike Moore won
1.) Mike Moore and his team simply outworked the Galligan team. Walking door to door  to a lot of households, Mike got out his message and it's the one the voters wanted to hear, Fiscal Responsibility. Galligan spent money like a drunken sailor trying to impress the electorate with new projects, the poorly conceived and expensive Canal, a new Riverstage, an overkill, unnecessary 10th St. landscaping job on the medians, a new expensive ball park which in the process destroyed a beautiful nature setting park,  etc

  These Projects are fine in times when the economy is flourishing, but Galligans timing was terrible, families are struggling, homes being lost and the taxpayers felt and rightfully so that THEIR money was financing these Projects and in times when people are doing without just to get by. Especially the recently annexed residents who saw their taxes raise after being told they wouldn't

Tomorrow more of the Top 10

Ange Humphrey anybody remember her ???

HT feeling old, his  old heart throb is gray headed. She still looks good though even through 5 marriages.
Anybody else remember sweet Ange ???

                       V- I-C-T-O-R-Y

Mayor elect Mike Moore

Congratulations to Mike Moore new Mayor of Jeffersonville. A new day has risen. The recently annexed citizens came out in force and decided if they were forced to be a part of Jeffersonville, they would have a say so in who would lead them. Mr. Moore worked hard to get his message out, and it was heard. I think you will notice a refreshing change in Jeffersonville leadership as Mike will listen not dictate before making  decisions.With the influx of some young, new members of the Jeffersonville City Council things look promising in Jeffersonville indeed. It's a refreshing change to see these young and future leaders get involved in local politics and have the younger generation's political voice be heard. No longer will be told what is best for for us,  now the People can be heard and listened to....

HT the New Hef ???

HT received the ultimate compliment....

 Anonymous said...

Sorry HT, I don't see this at all. Pardon me for saying this, but your blog page is a far cry from being classy and centers more around Hugh Heffners style.

Thanks Anon.

This ranks up there with HT's Internet Blog of the Year Goliath Award and voted "Most Interesting Man In Pekin" Award and this Summers Goliath's Best Blog Poll award. To be compared with The Man Hef the ultimate compliment. And thanks for confirming the BatBlog lacks class, I was worried that some actually considered it classy. That was never HT's intention

Goliath's Coliseum Forum

  Sorry big Guy but HT calls them like he sees them. Your GCF (Goliath's Coliseum Forum) has become a dog and pony show. You've allowed a certain faction to dominate to the point were it is becoming embarrassing not to mention vulgar and crude at times. In his effort to be fair, and provide an uncensored forum the Mighty Warrior seems to be sometimes intimidated by those he has been so  kind to and invite into his Coliseum. His constant reminders to be considerate and fair with no personal attacks fall on the deaf ears of many of his guests..... The GAW blog has the  been a home for a classy blend of humor, arts and commentary, unfortunately the same class can't be extended to the Coliseum. Don't get me wrong there are good people that enter the Coliseum unfortunately they are over shadowed by a few out spoken to the point of domineering. Score this one a defeat for the mighty Warrior.....

Pesty Flannigan - Unappreciated ???

  The BatBlog has unnamed sources that Pesty Flannigan local bon vivant, political analyst, dancer is upset, discouraged and possibly even depressed with his diminished role at GAW. While working at HT's Batblog, Pesty flourished both professionally and personally actually even sharing top billing with HT on the award winning BatBlog. Though he was let go by HT for a disagreement on the local Canal issue it was a bittersweet parting.
   HT's sources say Pesty has been seen over indulging in alcohol and leaving local bars  late into the early morning alone. Petsy's role has been delegated to only an occasional role as a part-time political commentator and has been upstaged the new Pesty Ver.II and Goliath's Coliseum Forum. PestyVer.II has replaced Pesty as  Goliath's promoter and poster on the CCC even though Pesty brought Goliath into the limelight. Sources say Pesty isn't happy with the direction GAW Enterprises is going and feels unappreciated, underused, and he hasn't even been out dancing in months....

HT says hang in there little buddy one day the Big Guy will realize it was the little people like you that took him to the top and he shouldn't forget his old friends like you have been to him....
