WDT:Ritchie Still Holds Slim Lead in Poll

It appears to be a race to election day for Aubertine and Ritchie.  Ritchie edged out Aubertine by 3 percentage points in the latest Siena Research Poll. It appears nothing has changed over the last few months.  I would of thought Mr. Aubertine would have gained ground with the millions of dollars he dropped in the district.  Then again, voters are sick and tired of pork barrel spending which equate to tax increases, the current budget does not balance, they are laying off state workers, and they are predicting a $10 billion deficit next year. 

The polls have not been true when predicting Mr. Paladino's sucess.  I believe they have underestimated his progress and underestitmated how fed up voters are with our current legislators.  It is hard to believe 8% of the voters are still undecided.  I believe that the undecided 8% are Paladino followers, who will fall in with Mrs. Ritchie on election day.  I am expecting Ritchie to win by at least 7 % when all votes are tallied.

Mr. Aubertine will pull this out in the end. The voters have witness his ability to work with both Ds and Rs.
This is a remarkable feat, which is what we need. He stands up for his ppl. He strong and honest.

The reason the undecided is so high so late is that the candidates are so un-appealing to many and we have a serious need for dynamic transformational leaders -- and neither of these 2 fit that description . The bar has lowered in this race .

Frankly there is No GOOD outcome if either one wins. They will be pawns in chess game controlled by their respective leadership ilk. Sad but true . NNY will continue to be a wasteland that gets gets dumped on by BOTH parties .

Look beyond the ads and press releases. Aubertine concealed his wind contracts from the public and then wrote a letter to town officials with wind leases saying that it would be no conflict of interest to vote on allowing wind mills.

Anon 1:24 has anyone seen these wind leases? Has Darrel actually admitted to his leases.
Until i see it i will still vote for Darrel.
