It’s funny to see mostly everyone repeat the question they are asked, and followed up with…”who ever will be voted will be the right vote” so corny. also someone said: I can’t vote b/c I’m not married, only to follow up a few sec later and say he is voting…3 words. Oholei Torah Chai.

I’m one of those unusual residents of Crown Heights who lives here because I LIKE IT HERE! but I’m so dissalusioned by the morals of the people here! Why is there not a sound being heard about the Lag B’omer incident??? it’s like what happened with Obama, everything was just swept under the rug. But Thank G-d, unlike obama, Hecht did not get in.

great video yossi

What if a news man asks Rush Limbaugh,
‘yo voted for the Republican, right?” is that bias? me says no.

Hi Mr. 12
July 6, 2010 10:18 pm

I guess you kind of prove my point. Like I said, I don’t have anything against Hecht, or random polling, which could be interesting and informative.

What I do object to is the COLlive guy who is taking the video repeatedly suggesting that the guy he is talking to voted for Hecht–rather than waiting neutrally to hear what the guy says.

It’s relatively minor and subtle–just like most bias.

Anyway, I hope I’m wrong. Because I have been enjoying this site and it would be really nice to have an objective voice in the community…

Good thing we have this video
July 6, 2010 10:03 pm

because otherwise I never could’ve imagined that Shemtov & Hershkop voted for Hecht.

why we need shea

TO 10
July 6, 2010 9:48 pm

you couldnt be more wrong. colive has been very neutral the whole election process.
and if they asked a bunch of poeple who they voted for and alot of them answered shea then thats the news, take it or leave it.
repporting the news means telling it as it is, even if you dont like it.
dont blame the messenger.

Best line of the elections:
July 6, 2010 9:43 pm

“voting for Shea because Brownstein is involved in machloikes is like voting for Obama because Bush isn’t conservative enough.”
(technically I guess it should’ve said “McCain isn’t conservative enough”, but still…)

Biased :(
July 6, 2010 9:15 pm

Lubavitch has more than enough websites with a bias and agenda. I had hoped that collive would be the one site that would just report the news. But from the coverage these past few weeks, and this video, it seems I was wrong. B’H, I keep out of this political garbage and did not vote today–I don’t even have an opinion on which candidate is best. But I do have an opinion that a “news” site shouldn’t be asking people who they voted for and then leading with “Hecht…?” implying the presumption on a particular candidate.

Takeh a shame…

Hecht & Hackner
July 6, 2010 9:11 pm

Not necessarily the best choice buit the only choice.Brownstien is a part of the gang of 4 Mosrim & wholly supports the m & stands with them Guilty as charged!

hope Hecht dont wins
July 6, 2010 9:00 pm

for shalom and achdus

Impressed!
July 6, 2010 8:43 pm

WOW I saw a video with Rabbi Hecht with every important government official around. He really knows the ropes. And it’s impressive — in the background is a sign: NCFJE. I trust that all of these government contacts will benefit out community exclusive of any other interest or institution than our community!

My Election hopes
July 6, 2010 8:09 pm

I hope Hecht wins. Also, Hackner doesn’t have messira on his rap sheet, so please give Hackner a vote as well. And Iy”h when the right people win, please serve us with humility.

Oy!
July 6, 2010 8:07 pm

T.H I feel for you…

Cool
July 6, 2010 8:05 pm

Its so funny to see how secretive jew are, In the none jewish world people are proud to let everyone know who they will be voting for!

My father used to tell us kids
July 6, 2010 7:51 pm

His vote was between him & the ballot box. It drove us nuts! My husband voted for the Dream Team:

HECHT & HACKNER!!!

CHT
July 6, 2010 7:48 pm

I tallied it is overwhelmingly Hecht/Hackner. I hope this closing poll is wrong.

Very funny!
