upcoming democratic primary
i am curious as to what those of you voting in the primary are thinking about the candidates for governor and congressperson. i am leaning towards donna c.for governor,based on here political experience,and emmett hansen for congress.he appears to be very bright and hardworking. what are others thinking?
Sure, let's elect more Democrats, since the party has done such a great job running the VI for the last 30+ years.

Donna sucks eggs, Malone as well. Both have been too entrenched for way too long.
I Like Donastorg for Gov. since he is the senator that helped get our animal cruelty bill finally passed which took years due to all the other backward senators plus he instigated the OIG audit for the VI legislature that exposed all the millions of dollars they wasted, squandered, stole, misused, misappropriated, mismanaged and misspent.
I like Stacy Plasket for Delegate.
As for the rest it's a crapshoot!
Donna supported the diasteous Diageo deal and the Hovensa amnesty. Her running mate voted for the Diageo deal as senator too along with Malone. So no way. No Donna. No Malone. Plus Donna was a horrible administrator back when she was commisioner of Health. She herself said she wasn't good at it. She was good as a delegate in that role but not to manage this disaster. Her staff will govern in her stead. The local so-called democrats destroyed this territory from government house. Why in the freaking world would we let Donna and the rest of us finish us off. Hell no.
I think the Judge Diase and Canegata are great choices. She is intelligent and a fighter.

Disingenuous at best Rotorhead!
1. Donastorg was acquitted.
2. The accuser recanted her story and said that she was offered $150k by a DeJongh aide named Lesly Commisiong and a bodyguard to accuse Donastorg. She recanted in part because she did not get paid.
3. The accuser went to his home uninvited and pounded on his door in a jealous rage because he had a female guest inside. The guest also provided an alibi.
4. Donastorg a licensed gun owner, opened his door with gun in tow.
5. The accuser attempted to assault the guest in view of witnesses outside the court near trial, in the same demeanor described by the guest.
6. DeJongh has not yet been arrested or investigated for abuse of power. Arresting political opponents by bribing accusers is an abuse of power seen usually by the likes of Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe and other despots.
7. The Attorney General who brought the case to embarrass Donastorg and affect his political aspirations, is a political hire of DeJongh, not an independently elected Attorney General.
8. These dastardly democratic have never hired an independent prosecutor to address this abuse of power
9. Donna has never asked congress to amend the Organic Act to allow an independently elected attorney general, or to allow for two prosecutors, one elected and one appointed.
10. I was not a Donastorg supporter at that time, but I felt like I was living in Zimbabwe. If we are not secure from government tyranny, nothing else matters.
To answer Lily's question about the primary, and since I am a registered Democrat, (with a capital D unlike the fake ones which I denote with lowercase d), the best horse in the primary race appears to be Marvin Pickering, the former CEO of Cruzan Rum.
Gregg Francis is not even a college graduate. Nuff said.

It is not only a Democratic primary.
I am concerned about the Delegate to Congress race.
What happens in the Primary, since all 3 candidates are Democrats?
Last I checked, Vince Danet was not running, so that leaves the 3 Democrats.
Is it decided right then + there on August 2?
You will still have the option to write someone in.
Vince Danet is running for Congress:

but the odds are the Delegate will be decided on August 2nd.
