if you have a french sounding name you will not win this race. period. Hugh Weathers will beat this dude like a red-headed step-child

I agree with the previous post. There is no way Weathers is going to loose this race. Emile is a political outsider and there is clearly no name ID with his campaign. I think he's a nice guy but clearly not a winner in Nov. But no doubt Mikie will endorse him anyway.

This is one of those positions I'm just not too familiar with and I'm doing research on the position and both candidates right now and then I'll decide if I will endorse him or not. That's why I didn't endorse him in this video. I'm not going to be one of the many voters in this state who doesn't do his or her research first before voting for a candidate. How is he an outsider? Because he has a foreign sounding last name?

anonymous,
Good point on his name, I've actually thought the same thing. My mom said she thought that it was a woman running for the position after seeing his name.

Ok Mikie,
I'll admit I haven't tons of research on him either; that said he is an outsider in that he has to my knowledge not been a real active party member (by that I mean he has held no elected office). On that point I may be wrong but in my research thus far I have not come across a record of his having held a previous elected office. Please tell me if I am wrong.

This fact in itself would discourage my vote because when it comes to someone who has held the office before and someone who has not, in most cases depending on the record of the candidate I would for the experience not the "rookieness"(Not sure if that's a word). I think you get my drift though.

Mikie,
You and I both know good and well that you will be loyal to your liberal left. Mark my words, you will not endorse Weathers. Period, end of story.

Sure you may do some research on Weathers but that research would only be used on your part to discredit him I'm sure.

Maybee you'll surprise me but I doubt it.
