Each D got about 1/5th of a vote. He had a bit of a head start. There are not 250 Libs in Allegheny County. Each county Lib generated 10 votes -- and the county is bigger than the district.<BR/><BR/>Protest votes are votes of protest due to the ugly campaign as well as the ugly government the Ds have been delivering to this city for all too long.<BR/><BR/>We also have lots of protest votes that come with the feet of the people -- as they leave town. We are half the size of the city from the past. <BR/><BR/>So, you think that the votes I earn are worthy of 2, 3, or 4 of each that a D might get? How might you handicap this race? <BR/><BR/>But, don't do much more here without being with at least a blog handle.Mark Rauterkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157914569686528007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481330.post-1141610119856155872006-03-05T20:55:00.000-05:002006-03-05T20:55:00.000-05:00I didn't mean you won't get any votes in the elect...I didn't mean you won't get any votes in the election, I meant from that endorsement.<BR/><BR/>I didn't make an endorsement because I am in District #2 and my man is in office.<BR/><BR/>You can talk about all those 2,542 votes that you want. But Wayne Fontana got 19,158 votes. Quite a few more than you. The votes you got were the protest votes that people casted because of all of the mailings and TV commercials that were negative.<BR/><BR/>People won't pull that lever for you, you don't have a (D) next to your name.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481330.post-1141597115430120322006-03-05T17:18:00.000-05:002006-03-05T17:18:00.000-05:00I think I'll get more than zero votes.Let's see......I think I'll get more than zero votes.<BR/><BR/>Let's see.... Last time I ran for elected office, as a Libertarian for PA Senate against two heavy weights, each with multiple chins, it was predicted that I'd get less than .005 of the vote. Heck, I was out-spent 500 to 1 by both the D and the R. How could the people pick a candidate that only raised $3k when the others spent close to $1M.<BR/><BR/>Lots of people ate those words when my vote total was 2,542 votes. In this race, half of that is going to be enough to win.<BR/><BR/>Where is your endorsement posted on the net?Mark Rauterkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157914569686528007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481330.post-1141594177092217062006-03-05T16:29:00.000-05:002006-03-05T16:29:00.000-05:00Hmmm this ringing endorsement should get you about...Hmmm this ringing endorsement should get you about....let me think...ZERO votes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
