GOTV or "Get Out The Vote". That's the only remaining job for politico's at this point. at least we are done with the mailers!
Its been a rough campaign season. The negativity that pervades National and State political campaigns has made it, full-force, to the local scene. I won't blame the Democrats; I think both parties bear responsibility. I do, however, blame the candidates who allow political leaders to draft unfair messages and try to avoid responsibility.
All of us in politics are responsible for the content of campaigns. Unfortunately, political campaigns like we have seen in Monroe County are becoming the norm. Worse, the politicians who employ these tactics, become our elected officials. We then see the same type of mentality exhibited in government.
Ultimately, this cycle will only stop if the average voter says enough. The voters must punish the purveyors of political porn by refusing to elect them.

Congrats:
The Gates Republicans are in total control. You beat us small band of patriotic citizens and shut down free speech at cable 12 west, the Democrat and chronicle westside blogs, Greece, Chili, and Gates under your control,the election results you wiped out the Demos and the working families. I am tired, its true you cannot fight city hall, and as a free thinking citizen of Gates we have no power. Congrats, oh byw I think you should run Jan against Mark for town board. The gates maverick quits, but the outcast I shall remain.
