Hats off to Mmoryr. You called this one weeks ago. Win or lose Tom Suozzi has been damaged by all this and mangano can come back to fight another day. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


It will be a few weeks before the recall and the affidavit ballots and absentees Ballots are all counted up to see who the actual winner is. Regardless of who wins both have been put on notice that it is not business as usual and the people are fed up. Good message to send!!!! Now lets see if both parties can work together for the betterment of Nassau County and its citizens.

The machines have been recanvassed and Mangano is up by 32 votes. Weinstein is down by alot and Belisi is winning. Today the paper ballots (absentee, military) will start to be counted. This will be interesting. Thank god there are no chads.

It is now conceivable that Ed Mangano will become our County Executive and the Republicans will gain another seat in the legislature. How did this happen? It can not be just an anti-incumbent wave. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The fat lady has not started her solo yet but it is looking like Mangano may be the next CE. It's a combination of things that lead us here. Many democrats stayed home because they could not vote for suozzi and the would never vote for mangano. #2- Suozzi lost many votes on the energy tax, this was the straw that broke the camels back and #3- The lighthouse project. Suozzi sat on it for 5 years and then tried to make a political issue of it and it backfired on him. There are actually more people that want it scaled back and are hoping the Town of Hempstead does just that ( take a look at Kates vote). Suozzi is a snob from the North shore and that was showing a little bit more each day. The day after the election when he joked that it was the school taxes was the hight of arrogance. He will never learn.

Hahaha loved your comment about the dead vote and you were spot on when you mentioned chicago and Mass. You forgot Texas the king of the dead vote. LBJ won his first position with the dead vote. He received more dead votes than his opponent. Bacl to Nassau CE. Like I said anything can still happen while counting the paper however I would be shocked at this point if Mangano lost. I was able to call it this way because of being able to listen and keeping my mouth shut. The negative talk about suozzi in all circles told the story. The story will be if Mangano wins that , Mangano did not win, suozzi lost. It will now be up to mangano to show people why he should be re-elected in 4 years. Make no mistake about it this was Suozzis election to win or lose, Mangano did not bring anything to the table at all. Suozzi shot himself in the foot many times and people saw it. It is suozzis inability to communicate and his inability to understand what the people wanted. We want our parks, not rented out but neatly kept for our use, after all we pay for this. Instead he rented many out, gave some away to other municipalities and the budget never changed. It should have gone down. His home energy tax pissed off most people and again his inability to understand what the people want added to this. His stance on the lighthouse really pissed people off. The hearings were loaded up by wang and suozzi with people that only understood one thing. Here is a chance to make big bucks. The problem you see is "We the People" do not want such a large scale project. Too many problems with water, sewage, traffic and with projects this large the inconviience of being able to get to hofstra, NCC and other areas. The people spoke loud and clear with a petition to scale it back, yet you will never read about that in newsday. Kate Murray got it right!!! She is crossing her T's and dotting her I's on this one. The people surrounding the proposed project have for the most part said the same thing. SCALE IT BACK, but again Newsday will never print it. Ok time to get off my soap box.......MM

the recount is over. it is mangano time.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes , Suozzi conceeded today and so did the comptroller. Nassau will be under full republican control again, but for how long. Mr. Mangano must be serious as well as the legislature. If they keep doing business as usual they will be ineffective and will last only the 4 years. The people of Nassau need tax relief. its time. I hope mangano is up to the job.
