THE BIG DAY

We are two days from the Democratic primaries. This may be the most important contest this year. Maybe of our lifetime. Maybe ever!

By Thursday night we will know who the Democratic candidate for mayor will be. More importantly, we will know if Democratic County Chair Tom Wade can still bring it. Or, will the insurgents upend traditional politics?

We at The Polloi have no idea, hint, prediction....of what happens Thursday. Since the reintroduction of the mayoral system, there has not been a primary for mayor in either party. We have no idea how many people will vote. We have no idea if the bulk of registered democrats, those not politically active, even know much about this race. Will they vote? Will they vote if the rain on Thursday is heavy during prime voting hours?

According to the highly respected Troy Polloi Poll, Wiltshire has it cold.*


Tomorrow, the highly prized Troy Polloi endorsements. Today, give us your predictions. Who runs better against GOP candidate Jim Gordon. What happens to Wade if Wiltshire and Team Troy wins?


*Margin of error +/- 43%

Got he mailer today. I will not vote for a candidate that will agree to that kind of negative garbage. Too bad the truth isn't coming out about Rodney.

Rodster will do whatever he can to get elected. The WFP sent them. He will plead ignorance which is apropos.

Team Troy said...

Rodney in a landslide - 75%-20%-5%

Take it to the bank!

God help us. Gordon looks more mature compared to Wilty.

I think it will be close but Madden pulls it out. Hopefully.

Margin of error of 43% seems high. How can you claim the poll is reliable?

Poll just goes to show who is on the internet.

Everett will do a little better than expected. Won't be much but he will hurt Rodney. Also, weather won't be great but it will be better than originally forecast. That helps Madden.

That's less than 200 voting on this blog poll. You people are double jointed servicing yourself about how many hits you got on this awful blog. Listen to yourselfs you quote Randy Copper and have Robert Cox on here like he's a poet hipster from the 60s. Madden is a fine man who will lose in the November election. Then you can all go beck to your caves.

What's the matter? Worried that your stupid tweets are yesterday's news? Ha. Try writing a simple declarative sentence that is relevant and people might take you seriously. The Polloi is the granddaddy of political blogs in Troy and was here before you were

The TP has always supported the cops. We love it.

Say what you want about Randy Cooper, but he has an influential group with almost 3200 members and people pay attention to him. He made Harry and his other pals irrelevant! Randy is no angle, but there is not one ounce of phoniness in him. He tells it like it is and I admire him for that, and so do many others. The only people who don't like him are Harry and his minions because Coop has put them in their place time and time again!
