Well.. I just voted in Ward C (northern part in the Heights). Modest turn out with Healy minions everywhere around the polling station. The way the signs were angled though, it looked like Obama was running for mayor instead of Healy.

Given the turnout up here, I don't think Fulop supporters will be able to win out over the 20% machine-zombie vote. It will be up to turnout downtown and in Newport for a Fulop win.

Fulop did have election observers at my polling station. None there were from Healy (or at least I didn't see any).

Speaking of voting ?.did you know that Senator John F. Kennedy had campaign stops in JC? One at the Armory 9/15/1960 and one at Journal Square 11/6/1960 a day or two before he became President Kennedy. If you read the speeches you can see how important the vote was in HC and Jersey City at one time.

I'm really going to enjoy posting stupid, pointless "but Fulop says crime is down!" every time there's a crime assuming he wins and we get another reduction in overall crime.

I truly hope it annoys every one of you morons who think that pointing out one crime has anything to do with the overall total.

While I'm at it, I should take down the names of you dingdongs that do this and find other pointless sh!t that has no bearing on anything and make note to bring them up in every one of your posts. Maybe if healy wins, I'll do so, since we'll assuredly continue to get your pointless nonsense.

And before you ask, if I do end up bothering to vote tomorrow, it certainly will not be for healy.

I have to say it was quite the show. Healy definitely talks out of his ass. He never really answered the questions, just typical political run around, answering until the time runs out. He was very hostile too, taking shots at Fulop and the audience. Malik was on my good side until he took the route of making the other candidates look bad.

Fulop really was the only one who spoke clearly and maintained composure throughout the debate. I have to agree with mrasg1, it seemed like the panel just wanted to get out as quick as possible.

Glad you came out - sorry we didn't meet. I agree with you. Can you believe Healy was 10x worse in his belligerence at last week's debate in Ward A. He was being "good" tonight, believe it or not... As usual, Steve came out focused, poised and with a plan.

If your posts have been deleted it's not because the webmaster disagrees with you. It's because you sound like a grade school bully and we don't tolerate childish behavior.

You people are all about childish behavior. You whine about Mayor Healy and the great people that built the city you are trying to steal. If any of you went to school here you would have learned some manner and some streets marts too.

The deleted post was how Mayor Healy outsmarted and outworked your Stevie. Team Healy was busy registering voters to the last minute, dropping off hundreds of new registrations right up until deadline. Where was Team Stevie? Nowhere in sight. Oh I forgot. They told me there was one poor Full-op-It schmuck who brought in one count it one last minute reg. Your beloved webmeister doesn't censor all kinds of your idiotic rants, but let someone tell how old fashioned political know how is going to clean your clocks and there goes your so-called "tolerance".

All your stupid facebook posts wont make up for your failure to hit the streets. I was talking to a friend who knows downtown like few others. He hasnt seen Stevie boy out, Candycane is missin in action, it's like there's not an election in tow week. Go twiiter yourselves while the old pros take care of business.

Well, I think NJ could get a lot more love if it had better planning and infrastructure/mass transit.

That has nothing to do with it. Everything is about the "brand" known as New York. People know NY. A lot of the problem is that New Jersey seems just so very foreign to them. They say New Jersey and just lump the whole state as if it is one unit that is the same everywhere. They don?t say Jersey City and Hoboken and Newark and Seaside Heights and Atlantic City. It?s all just New Jersey.

What I find most disappointing is that time and time again with these towers, there are missed opportunities to liven up the streetscape with retail facing the street/sidewalk.

Particularly glaring in this example is the Steuben Street side of the building, which appears to be completely closed off from the sidewalk/street. There is some retail, but not enough for a building of this size.

Maybe there is something architecturally that I do not understand, but this doesn't make sense to me at all, having buildings completely shut off from the rest of the world.
