Although he has a professional experience, I can not support him as he didn't ask me any questions or try to find out my concerns.

I don't care how much experience he has, if he doesn't want to get to know the community's real concerns and thoughts, then he is not going to make a good mayor.

That's it. He isn't a hero, he is just a regular guy with problems who has a fancy title.");document.write(" "); document.write(" June 28, 2009, 1:36 PM"); document.write(" | ");

Plus, aren't the Dem's worried about the fact they didn't support a true democrat combined with the fact that Corrigan has his own party and the primaries don't matter to him, this whole thing will only take votes away from the Dems and a lot of TRUE DEms will go independant or elsewhere.

What else is there to look at besides his past party history?

Are we really supposed to believe that its a mere coincidence that right before this election Miller wants to take over downtown devleopment? Do the Democrats really think that we don't know how he could have lost us the Soccer Hall of Fame had he cut the Men's D1 soccer program only a few years earlier?

Plus, if he wins are we supposed to be really believe that he is going to pass off his consulting firm to somone of no relation? Of course not! He will certainly give it to his wife or the other members of his team so he can still see a profit. We can't elect him because it would be like giving him the entire city and who would be able to challenge him?

A few of my friends work at the golf club he attends and he is great to his friends and very condescending to the staff and people 'below' him. As far as his business experience, yes he has had great titles, but he wasn't that great at Hartwick. Under his recommendation the school dropped their Division 1 Men's soccer program, the program that was responsible for bringing in the Soccer Hall of Fame. In addition, he also cut numerous jobs programs. Throwing in students like him is great, but you can't deny that the majority of students who vote will like Corrigan along with the minority groups, and the hometown guys will like Erik. As a Democrat, I don't care how nice Richard is, it's not fair for us to have to choose two republicans with one true democrat. I don't care who anyone votes for, but this is just wrong and if Richard was really qualified to run, his own party would have had primaries instead of the democrats.");document.write(" "); document.write(" June 18, 2009, 5:16 PM"); document.write(" | ");
