FlintTalk.com Forum Index > Political Talk Topic: PREDICTION FOR MAYOR OF FLINT

Author    Post   Al Garcia F L I N T O I D OK, everyone has given us their commentaries about who should win or loose the mayors race. I want percentage predictions for the race. NO COMMENTS, that can be debated starting Wednesday morning again....JUST PLAIN NUMBERS. In a mild upset, here is my prediction WALLING 49.8% WILLIAMSON 49.3% OTHER 00.9% To be decided by less then 25 votes, Williamson cries foul, demands a recount....ends up suing the city and costing you tax payers millions in the end! _________________ WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU PEOPLE DONE TO MY HOMETOWN?

ALL THE RIFF RAFF OUT NOW! alberto.garcia.85@hotmail.com Mon Nov 05, 2007 2:35 pm  Dave Starr F L I N T O I D Williamson 55% Walling 45% _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now.

Mon Nov 05, 2007 2:38 pm  BlahBlah48439 F L I N T O I D Williamson 61% Walling 40% Others 1% Mon Nov 05, 2007 2:43 pm  Al Garcia F L I N T O I D WOW.....102% total votes. You must of failed that Johnny Burke math test? _________________ WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU PEOPLE DONE TO MY HOMETOWN? I KNEW I SHOULD OF HIRED A BABYSITTER! ALL THE RIFF RAFF OUT NOW! alberto.garcia.85@hotmail.com Mon Nov 05, 2007 3:05 pm  Sara Simmons F L I N T O I D Walling will get between 55 and 60% of the vote. Williamson between 40 and 45%. I should add that I did quite a bit of door-to-door for Dale Weighill in the primary, so my prediction is based on talking with a fair number of voters prior to August 6. There are many people who are unhappy with the Mayor's leadership style, etc. I think this was reflected in the primary election results where Williamson (the well known incumbent) received only 33% of votes cast. I believe Walling will be able to tap this discontent tomorrow.

Mon Nov 05, 2007 4:37 pm  twotap F L I N T O I D Dont forget even though both candidates are democrats only one has the party behind him. Hanging chads, manipulating ballots, attempting to get thrown out absentee military ballots, votes from the grave, nonexistent voters, leaving precincts open well past legal voting hours, giving homeless packs of cigarettes to go vote all trademarks of the last two presidential elections (which they lost by the way) . Who knows what sort of trickery they will attempt in Flints little mayoral election. I wouldnt count out this Walling fellow quite yet. Mon Nov 05, 2007 4:51 pm  insider F L I N T O I D Williamson 60% Walling 40% BTW, that is the reverse of what I want. Mon Nov 05, 2007 6:56 pm  last time here Guest williamson 60% walling 40% some are wondering exactly what is going on with all the interest of the state demo party. reigle, kildee, sharp (waste management), brewer, stanley, etc... theres more here than what meets the eye.. oh my!! _________________ Guest post Mon Nov 05, 2007 7:00 pm  BlahBlah48439 F L I N T O I D Stanley is a joke! when you sleep with dogs you get fleas Mon Nov 05, 2007 7:04 pm  Sara Simmons F L I N T O I D quote: BlahBlah48439 schreef: 78% of Flint voters voted against WALLING. You can spin the primary results all you like, but any political professional (people who run campaigns for a living) will tell you that an incumbent who receives less than 50% of the vote in a primary is in trouble for the general election. Williamson received 33% in the primary and he has 100% name id -- not a good sign. Either you love him or you hate him, and based on the door-to-door campaigning I did during the primary, most people want him gone. I stand by my prediction that Walling wins with 55-60% of the vote (that includes solid majorities in the 4th, 7th, 8th, and 9th wards). quote: Sara Simmons schreef: Walling will get between 55 and 60% of the vote.
