Are those cheers I hear coming from City Hall Room 200?

Good luck with that endeavor, Senator Coleman.

Will Zaki Baruti be her campaign manager?

Coleman would without a doubt raise enough money to mount a formidable campaign and be elected the first woman mayor of St. Louis.

Best of luck, Maida.

If the Sen. can work the magic that Wright-Jones did. Then Slay’s 850k plus means nothing. There is enough ill will towards Slay on both sides of town that whoever runs is starting with 5k votes. They will need about 13k to win in a low turn out election in March.

They need more than 13K votes to win the primary.

Seriously, is Maida still looking for a job?

I would pay attention just to watch the carnage. Last I heard no Senators can rely on her gathering more than one vote on the floor…hers. She’s a failure.

I guess she’s pals with Don Suggs. He is desparate for power and under Slay he hasn’t been able to pad his bank account like he did with the past 2 mayors.

I can only hope this is true.

Run, Maida, Run!

coleman is going to win on the backs of Sherman George supporters, voters and teachers.

Not bloody likely…

“Slay’s $850k means nothing”

hahahahahahaahahahahahahahaha

Please keep in mind he has $850k without a challenger. If an AA joins the race to split the vote, watch the $$’s come flooding into Slay’s coffers.

Slay would be lucky to draw Coleman as an opponent. How long do you think it will take Callow and Rainford to remind the voters that seven years ago Coleman had to file for bankruptcy because she owed a dozen creditors over $11,000? She can’t even manage her own budget, how are we going to trust her to manage the City’s??

Really, you think money can buy elections? Go have a chat with Clinkscale and Buford and then come back and we’ll talk. Not only would everyone who voted in that election vote against Slay, but add the other factions that are mad. You think enough people really like Slay so much they will come out with the same fervor as those who don’t like him will? Yeah yeah, blather on about money. Means nothing, especially when so many Slay donors don’t even live in the city. That means, fyi, they can’t vote for him. What is wrong with you people that you think people with connections to money are the ones who deserve to be in charge? I have much less trouble trusting someone who knows the real world where sometimes there isn’t enough money, than someone who thinks he is entitled to whatever job he wants because he loves power. If Slay knew how to manage budgets he wouldn’t be giving all the city revenue away through tax abatement and then telling city workers he has no money for their raises, but oh sure, there is plenty to give raises to his friends who work for him!

In a low turn out election which the March primary will be. 26k votes cast if that. The high of Obama will have passed win or lose, so the usual suspects will vote 12% on the low end 20% on the high. No heated races in the odd Wards on top of that. So in a race for 13k voters 850k does mean nothing.So can an opponent(Maida or anyone else) raise enough cash to reach 26k voters?
In a city with High crime,STD’s, increasing foreclousures, and a dwindling business community. I don’t think Slay can afford to throw mud on any opponent with out getting hit back( tow scandal, ball park village, chief George) and thats the past 12 mos.

Quick question - What has Maida done? Last I checked, NOTHING.

She won’t get my vote nor thousands of others.

Just accept the fact that an EXTREMELY LOUD yet tiny group of city and county residents don’t like Slay. They do not like him for their own hateful reasons. The rest of the city thinks he has done a good job and is tired of the same kooks screaming that the sky if falling day after day. People on the North side like him and people on the South side like him. We know you hate him and the fact that others like him just burns you up. We get it, you hate him. Get over yourselves, the rest of the city is tired of your games.

“People on the North side like him”

This alone discredits the rest of your argument…….

Maida who? Give me a break. Slay will certainly be getting one if Maida is the opponent.

Zaki Beruti’s a joke. He mentions Sherman George as a possible candidate and the next day George says no. Nice to know Beruti dreams up stuff and that he has radio and television stations in town who gives him publicity like they did last week. Beruti’s news conference WAS NOT NEWS.
