I take a few issues with Mr Carbone in this article. First of all he speaks of the "good ol boy" way the Democratic party operates, yet he then tells a story of drafting papers to run for office when he didn't think Bill Walaska was running, only to change his mind when he found out the late State Sen Walaska was running again.? That is the very definition of a "good ol boy" politician, someone who gets out of the way for another candidate based on relationship.

Second, I don't understand why you'd look at the party asking you to run against Mrs Calkin as the party "replacing a woman". Are women somehow unable to be replaced as politicians once elected? I didn't realize women were given a lifetime seat because replacing them (in your eyes) is so unacceptable. That is very odd language for a candidate for mayor to use.

I wish you the best of luck but I would suggest using your language a little more carefully. I'm sure Mrs Calkin is a fine candidate, but the way you phrased it, suggests as a woman she should not be challenged for office. I disagree. I believe the best candidates should be running, which is why I'm so hard on the failing, tax delinquent candidate Rick Corrente. I look forward to hearing your platform over the next couple of months.

PS Mr Carbone : Congratulations, you have as much to do with last years budget as the fake, lying, tax delinquent Rick Corrente and his failing, desperate, flailing, almost 4 year, $40,000+ embarassment of a campaign.
