Though I will vote for very few Dems this election, Quentin is one Dem I will vote for. He truly has the well-being of the city at heart. A good man!
Dan is definitely a fraud.
The other night after the Wesleyan event he refused to talk to students after the debate. As a Dem, I was outraged by this and wanted to ask him questions about his platform and ideas with the hopes that he could help me with my upcoming campaign against Joe Serra in 2012.
Ironically enough, Giuliano and other Wes students had a pow-wow at the foot of the stage and then invited me to coffee afterwards. Weird town?
I met Pulino as well, very nice and chummy. I checked the qualifications of the city treasurer and one does not have to know how to manage millions of dollars, it's basically a check and balance system. Would Phipps, have the guts to vist Mayor Drew if there was a problem?. That I don't know, based on the past of both Raffa and Pulino I would bet they would not be afraid to blow the whistle on wrong-doings.

Why doesn't Dan Drew publish his resume for all to see and judge. Why would the voters hire someone to administer the business of this town who doesn't show his resume and qualifications? Unless, of course,he doesn't have a qualifying resume. Fraud, you bet!
