1. I don’t know Bill DeMora- but it sounds like there was at least one person who didn’t support John.

2. Since the add says “Support BSB. Click On Through” then I’m pretty sure the ad was paid for.

But none of this really matters.

I just had a couple of things I’d been told that I figured should be out there. But, please note, I waited until after the election results were already in.

Unlike BSB who published all of their rumors (e.g. Cindy was actually a Republican) along with some mysteriously-appearing old newspaper photos in the days leading up to the primary.

Someone has to provide a little balance in a situation like this- and I hope I was able to do that.

Like I said, the damn thing’s over now so we can all focus on winning the general- though I’m pretty certainly the hardest part of this election is now over for John.

1) Meeting and greeting voters is one thing; Doing so in areas designated for no campaigning whatsoever is inappropriate and…wait for it…illegal.
2) The payment of the ad isn’t the issue. The issue is the lack of a disclaimer, which the hyperventilating O’Grady Clan through a hissy-fit over regarding Lazarus. Hypocrisy sucks.
3) It should also be noted that the O’Grady camp didn’t have volunteers passing out pamphlets at the Board of Elections…they hired them to do so, just like Hillary Clinton did. Embarrassing that with all that political machinery at their back, they couldn’t find volunteers to perform that simple task.

Wow! You obviously have been talking to Bill DeMora.
1) Only one person abstained from voting on the endorsement, Bill DeMora, and by Roberts rules his vote gets counted with the majority.
2) I love when people don’t think candidates should meet and greet with voters. Damn that democracy in action.
3) The O’Grady campaign probably didn’t buy an ad with BSB. I’m guessing Jerid made the ad an in-kind contribution since he endorsed O’Grady.
