Any Dem candidate who isn't intelligent enough to organize a campaign to get his name on the Dem ballot line will not get my vote. That's bad planning on his part, which is a bad sign if he were to be on the Town Board. As for Nolen, she ran a terrible campaign. Write in candidates NEVER win. The only thing she gained from running is the $10,000 grand she raised.

DA - It's not about a lack of organization. The opposing town board candidates really had no platform up until after the petitions were due over the summer. Once the true horror of their platforms came too light, it was too late to be placed on the ballot, but not yet too late to do a write-in campaign. The purposes of the write-in campaign are also to draw more attention to Cynthia Young in the primary effort to get her elected, draw more attention to the Democratic Party in Malta and to really get all of our names out there for the next election (though it would be icing on the cake to put 2 dems on the Town Board,getting Cynthia there is objective #1). I think as age of the population in Saratoga County begins to shift you are younger median/mode/mean, we are going to see more liberals (i.e. dems) being elected to posts throughout the county, as evidenced by dems picking up the congressional seat from Sweeney in recent years.....But right now, the future of Malta is at stake, and hopefully people will vote based on the platforms and not based on the party affiliation...we shall see I guess....

Planner - your views are a little dated. There is not much difference between Dem and Republican views at the local level. That's more of a national/state level thing. I'd like to see Cynthia on the Board, but it has nothing to do with her being a Dem.

Planner,

The design of the downtown has nothing to do with if you're a Dem or Republican. For example, Peter and Sue (Republicans) have different views than Paul and Tara(Republicans). Cynthia's view probably falls in line with Peter. Stop trying to make this a Dem vs. Republican thing.
