And then there were two ...

A little behind ... apologies citizens

With time creeping up and a nasty primary behind us, one would presume that things will only get nastier.

Ahh, politics ... left out sentences, presumptions of guilt, need I go on? Such is Louisiana politics. We've taught everyone else this speciality.

The question is which party will bring the biggest gun to this knife fight?

wow, i never would have guessed she would drop out of the race.

Anonymous said...

My guess is that Provosty bailed rather than throw more good money after bad. He is likely washing some virgins and bringing to Roy's tent as we speak. Bet it doesn't work.

I bet she stays and gives everyone here something to talk about. It's a safe bet, she has a veteran jockey and I don't believe she is on any kind of bleeder medication.

I bet is is campaignus interruptus but if it ain't it is attackus magnumus. What else would she have to press about??? She just found out that John sold insurance to the housing authority??

you don't hold a press conference to announce that you're staying in the race... she's either dropping out or she's going on the offensive

Anonymous said...

guess we'll know in an hour

maybe we should all show up at her campaign headquarters for the press conference.

Anonymous said...

it might be a "checkers" speech. "you won't have delores to kick around any more".

Anonymous said...

I kinda hope she goes on the offensive so we can be absolutely sure that Roy won't forgive and forget Provosty & Co.

if ms brewer drops out maybe nedmund will go ahead and retire and let mr roy take office immediately.

any truth to the rumor that rodney alexander will be by her side today?

havent heard anything about turncoat rodney but that would make for a very wonderful day indeed.

She's gonna make a fight of it. Book it

if she's holding a press conference to tell us that she's still in the race, then she's wasting our time.

methinks she is withdrawing.

2.08.16 that would sure be my guess. but i am often wrong, never in doubt.

From the circus she is setting up for her press conference, I anticipate her giving Roy a swift belt to the nutz. I hope he is ready for a comeback.

You think Delores is holding a press conference because she's about to go negative against Roy?

Anonymous said...

Deloris is not going to drop out, she's probably going to announce a "blue ribbon" citizens advisory committee to work with her on potential solutions to all the problems confronting the city.

Anonymous said...

She has been consistently negative on Roy. I think she is going to try to deliver the coupe-de-nutz to jumpstart her campaign and try to generate some enthusiasm and dinero. The most dynamic way she can do that is to get on the big screen and complain about the personal attacks on her nearly perfect family and declare Roy to be a bona find mother farker. What do you think??

Anonymous said...

If you want to see he blue ribbon committee, look at her first donor list.

Anonymous said...

Regretably, she is going to make it virtually impossible for Roy to cut her some slack and let her in the back door to repay some of her campaign debts and have a continuing salary and benefits. Shame. I was hoping she would leave herself a graceful and productive out. She can always go accross the street and cook for Roseanne.

Anonymous said...

I don't think she would hold a press conference to announce that she is going negative. It's too early for that kind of strategy this early in the runoff, anyway. BIG negatives work best when done the last day or two before voting. That way, it stays in the voter's minds, and there is not enough time for the opponent to refute the negatives.

How did Lawson do with Antoon yesterday? He and Martin Johnson were performing the stations of the cross in front of Tommy's office. I am told that the democrats gave Myron a court martial yesterday and he did not fare too well.

Anonymous said...

No, she's going negative.

I can't wait for the Roy commercials that show her on election night stating that she won't resort to negative campaigning anymore. Man, she's sinking.

there is a source we bloggers. thing is though is that we arent organized yet.

We should have had someone call from the press conference so we could have posted it as it happened.

Anonymous said...

have someone at the event that can send text messages to someone and they report it to the blog.

I am not smart enough for textmessaging, myself. However, that would work, and it would enable us, "stay at homers", keep up in real time.

Was at the press conference and saw it all. Brewer accused Roy of slamming her honor, said he stood to make tons of money off any cleco settlement, and tryed to corner Roy into signing a pledge to fork over any money he made as an attorney to the COA. baisicly it was a Brewer hand Job...

Anonymous said...

Early word is DB's Confo was to drop the bomb that Jacques and Bridgett are all snuggly through the Cleco case.

ie, a vote for Jacques = Bridgett in your hizz-ouse.

Pretty lame.

Anonymous said...

Sounds like, "much ado about nothing".

Good for her! No way he should profit from the Cleco deal if he's our mayor. Totally unethical.

Anonymous said...

also someone with a digital camcorder could be there recording an event and uploading it to youtube or google video for all to see. theres all kinds of things we can do if we work together.

ps we dont even have a mobile fone so text messaging is beyond our ability too. lol

I do have an old cell phone, but only take it with me to use in case of emergency. My grandchildren had to program the ring for me. Oh! To be old and technological gadget illiterate.

The reason you are not hearing any news about the press conference is because there is nothing to report. DB camp is reaching hard folks.

JR does not stand to profit from the Cleco deal as it pertains to repayment of utility charges (if any) from Cleco, whether he is mayor or not.

He is Sam Sansing's attorney in Cleco's suit against Pugh/Samsing. The question of Cleco overcharges to the City is a completely separate matter, being handled by independent auditors.

Roy is Sam's atty, period. I am guessing Roy is charging Sansing for legal counsel, but even attorneys are entitled to bill for services rendered.

Oh, I forgot. Roy is a bad, bad man because he represents clients.

Anonymous said...

We sure do not want to recover any money lost to Cleco during Brewers term with Ned Randolph do we what hypocrisy . That is a genius strategy Ms Brewer has there. Roosevelt has got to be kicking himself.

Anonymous said...

let me understand clearly. First words out of her mouth after coming in second on the night of the elecion was "I want to stop the negativiy and attack politics". Did she mispeak that night? What would you call this 'announcement" today? The Cleco deal has been going on for years now. Why didnt Brewer bring it up in the first election? This stinks.

Anonymous said...

Are we beginning to see a little "Roy Fletcher" influence????

Anonymous said...

Don't discount Roy Fletchers intellect. He has telegraphed his plan. He is going to try to connect Roy and Bridgett together as if they are a team. He's slick. Read the press release. She craftily mentions Jaques and Bridgett in the same sentence, then she claims she is going to tear bridgetts contract to peices. Her entire campaign will be designed to soften Roy's white support by insinuating he is allied with Bridgett, Myron, ect.

one obvious note.... delores has run out of cheese and has to try to use press conferences to get her message out. as i posted earlier, i didn't think delores would drop out. she is a rat in a corner with no place to go, and in a panic thinking she may have to get a real job.

So, if DB is elected mayor, who will defend the city when she negates all of the contracts? 3 guesses, and the first two don't count. Ever hear of breach of contract?

Looks like more billable hours for a certain Alexandria law firm.

questions to ponder
why does cleco's executive on fashionable georges lane have a db sign in the yard?
why were cleco employees urged to support db?
why have cleco spouses paid big $ into db campaign?

derailing the good work done to expose cleco fraud as a campaign ploy - well that's just priceless to cleco.

who do you think has the most to lose if db loses?

Anonymous said...

She may well have a point if their was not a properly passed ordinance to enter into a contract, therefore there would be no breach due to an invalid contract.

i told y'all cutting the head off of this snake won't work. it has to be ground into powder. she used a "press conference" (and btw, kudos to the Journal for carrying the load for the alexandria media) ..a press conference for the sole purpose of saying roy is a crook because he charges for his work and roy=bridgette brown. in an overtly racist statement, she contends that the democratic machine is out buying black votes. this is blatant race baiting that the kkk would be proud to use. finally, and most tellingly, this arrogant tart has lied to us for the THIRD time! her excuse for lying to the council on live tv was that downtown bridgett brown knew it was a lie (she knew about the planned meeting) so delores' LIE was not a real lie????? give me a break. i am now convinced more than ever that to elect that snake delores would set alexandria back for decades. roy is the clear choice for change, and the clear choice to lead alexandria into the future.

delores was chief of staff for a year. Why didn't she simply cancel this alleged illegal contract? Instead she went down to baton rouge to discuss the case and then lied.
Simply more lies out of her mouth; please keep giving press conferences so more amunition will be made available.

How can Brewer attack those contracts without bitch slapping Ned? I think Ned is going to get a chance to return to his democratic roots after all.

Anonymous said...

Ther must be a notification and hearing peiod to be technical (7 days) to be a properly passed ordinance as set forth in the charter. Any variation to procedure may open a challenge to any improperly passed contract and action against the council members involved..

Lamar's reporting that Brewer's people are turning away Roy supporters at the "press conference."


Not only did the Brewer campaign NOT turn away the Roy workers, they allowed David Pugh's boy to tape the whole announcement so he could bring it back to Jaques.

Lamar, get your facts straight before making allegations. Or maybe you're suffering from the "Roy Syndrome", that is, make statements without verifying their veracity.

Anonymous said...

Or maybe it was taped to set up a good claim for tortious interference with a contract.

Anonymous said...

I believe the official report stated that anyone refusing to wear a I support Brewer sticker was turned away. Do we think Roy supporters would wear Brewer stickers? Wasn't it a public news conference? Are not folks all members of the public no matter who their candidate is.

DELORES SUPPORTER SPINNING APPEARS MORE AND MORE FRANTIC EACH DAY. DELORES SUPPORTERS HAVE GONE PAST APPEARING AS DEAD FISH FLOPPING INTO THE REALM OF INSANITY.

If in a dream world Delores is elected does she come with these insane thinkers as advisors?

Question - what in the hell does former concrete finisher turned job service employee turned reverend Joe Green have to do with the elections in the City of Alexandria? His church is at Rapides Station. I don't think CFS and Myron have annexed Rapides Station yet so I doubt if his congregation votes in Alexandria. Joe has aspirations of becoming the next jessie Jackson. If you gonna bring in a Rapides Station Negrah preacher might as well bring in the wit and witicsm of the Woodworth's racist the Right Reverend Shorter.
