Most of the candidates showed up at the Centennial Towers to rally the voters. Each candidate lined up to discuss issues and explain why they should be their candidate. It was hard to tell the difference between Republicans and Democrats because each each claim to be fiscally responsible. Only Mr. Forsyth and Mr. Burns can use their records to demonstrate fiscal conservative agenda...both claim to be fiscally responsible.
It looks like the Judge race is coming down to the two hometown candidates. Bill Small or Marsha Lemay, which will pull the votes from the locals. This race will come down to name recognition and experience.
Mrs. Ritchie is hard on the campaign trail, not missing a chance to spread her fiscal responsible agenda. Hard to stop the Ritchie Machine. Senator Aubertine and Assemblywomen Russell decided not to participate in the Centennial Towers open forum. I guess they figure they spent enough time in Ogdensburg with the possible closure of OCF. Looking at the signs in yards around town I think Senator Aubertine and Assemblywomen Russell should pull their heads out of the sand. Neither have done much in the River City before or since the rally.
Matt Doheny just coming off a close win against Conservative candidate Hoffman. Matt has maintained his energy level throughout his campaign and seems to have momentum. The verdict is still out, will Hoffman stay on the Conservative line.....that could be the difference in this race.

Nice our current legislators (Aulbertine and Russell) could show up.
Aubertine is spending his time in Watertown. They really have no use for him in his hometown, and Ogdensburg is sick of his GRANDSTANDING with OCF to get votes.
When was the last time the Commissioner of Corrections called a Senator to send inmates to a facility and he called right when he was having a meeting with the union. Give me a break.
That OCF drama on the backs of 300 working men and women has June O'neil written all over it. All in an election year. I do not believe she would have supportted the retarded move of a seated Senator attend a union meeting with 15 members and having a staged phone call from the commissioner.
It turns out one of Darrel's staffers was overheard telling a member in attendancew at the meeting that the Senator was in a play of phone tag with the commissioner while at a local diner in O'burg. turns out they were not in the diner at all that day. HHMMM all political fodor
RITCHIE FOR SENATE
