The one thing that has worth in politics is loyalty. I give you this and you vote for me.

Yaacov - vote for the winner

Yaacov, you are usually on the money (and almost had de Blasio wrapped up…) but in politics there isn’t any friendship (pirkei avos).

Kiddush Hashem and on to Victory

Thank you Yaakov for taking a stand on this; you are making a kiddush hashem. Besides that, we know that you have been involved with politics for much longer than the three others led by AL who purport to know whats right for our community. BH you see the big picture and are not swayed by false and empty promises, especially those which we have seen in the last 12 hours. Bottom line, aside from loyalty to the one we have worked with for 25 years, Jesse has a great track record, having been involved since he was President of… Read more »

our community has to support politicians that our loyal to us. Nothing outperforms 10 years of solid-track-record.

Yaakov great post. You raise a great point about loyalty being respect by politicians more then supporting the winning side. Crown Heights doesn’t have 10 thousand votes what we can have is respect. Lets not also lose that.
