: Obviously, though first out of the starting gate, the McCann for Freeholder campaign never got its second wind.  Was the jockey too heavy?  Did the horse not get enough oats?  I don't know.

: But, look how each did in the race:

: In first place was the County candidate, Radames Velazquez, who got around 2,918 votes.

: With  about 1,249 votes, former Jersey City Mayor Gerald McCann was second. 

: Republican Carl Czaplicki came in third with approximately 719 votes. 

: Out of the money was Anthony Cruz; he only got some 478 or so votes.  Of course, the HCDOers are playing the Cruz collapse as a defeat for Mayor Cunningham.  As Cunningham's endorsement seems to have been confined to the courtesy of a firm and friendly handshake, it seems something of a reach to try pinning this loss on Glenn.  But the question remains, what caused the Cruz campaign to falter?  Cruz has been around for quite a spell (in 1997, ran for theWard E Council seat on the Jerry Healy ticket).  Cruz's brother sliced and diced text for the local weekly -- around 4 years back, it's true.  The point being, Cruz should have had some name recognition.  As a Deputy Mayor, Cruz gets to bounce around town as a high-profile (albeit local) VIP.   Also, he had a crew of high-morale volunteers and at least enough money for lots of signs.

: Brings to mind Eliu Rivera.  Eliu is a personable guy and, as the head of PACO, is in charge of all sorts of good things.  Yet, either with Schundler or Cunningham, Eliu seemed unable to kindle more than a scant handful of votes.  

: Clearly, large portions of the Jersey City Hispanic community continue to vote according to the HCDO five o'clock cards.

: And don't forget, Juanita Lopez got maybe 101 votes.  As far as I could see, her campaign consisted of two hand-drawn and -lettered signs (one on poster-paper and the other on cardboard).
