Mayoral candidate Jeromy Farkas launches petition calling for incumbent Jyoti Gondek to share donor info

Farkas gonna fark. Never changed, as I suspected. How about selling voters on why we should support you instead of this gutter trash politics? A petition? Really? Weak, dude. Weak.

It's really going to be between him and Gondek for Mayor though. Apparently folks like Sharp and Thiessen are polling like 2% or less, I think even back in 2010 Nenshi was already on the radar much more than that at this time prior to the election.

I think no one is paying attention right now. It's summer. I just got a poll call yesterday, and had to go undecided because I haven't looked at anything. I think it's too early to write anyone off, because I don't think there is a lot of loyalty to anyone. Most votes are up for grabs.

I didn't vote for Gondek last time, and I won't this time either. My vote is totally up for grabs...no one has really jumped out so far though.

As it always should be.
I'm in the same boat though, no one is head and shoulders above the mob.

Yeah, I voted Gondek last time and she'll go without my vote this time around, but really haven't landed on who I want to vote for. Allegedly that POS Craig Chandler has thrown his support behind Jeff Davison, so Davison is off the list too.

I don’t know who the front runner is, or if there are any polls at this point, buts basically Gondek and Farkas. Maybe a third candidate emerges, but that’s looking increasingly doubtful considering we’re into August.

There’ll be a huge vote split and Larry Heather will squeak in.

Ask if she believes his long walky reformed him or if it is all an act.

Agree with you on focus on policy too, though, so we know what we’re voting for. But knowing who owns who is important in informing as well.
