Wolford Won't Win

Kelly Wolford, the appointed judge hand-picked by local Democratic Chairman Joe Morelle and DA Mike "Nifong" Green, was not just beaten, but trounced in two primaries last night, for the Conservative and Independence nominations, getting little better than a third of the vote of her nearest competitor in the Conservative race.

In what's become almost a tradition, whereby one judicial candidate every year makes bad campaign spending decisions, it looks like Wolford blew over $10,000 on TV advertising, including what must have been a major piece of change for an ad during Monday Night Football.

Suffice it to say that the judge and her campaign advisors badly misunderstood the nature of registered Conservative Party voters in going for their nomination.   A quixotic effort that distracted her campaign from the Independence primary and cost her that nomination as well.

With but one line on the ballot, and the D line at that, in this year of all years, we think this is a judge who will be returning to private practice next January.

Interesting analysis! Strange, Brian Mc Carthy, now Wolford...two Judges put in place to act like incumbents who cannot win in key primaries. More interesting, the same party advisors worked on both races.
Billboards that ran over 45k, television, and multiple mailings and, she got crushed!
There is a big difference between the campaign professionals on the Republican side and the amateurs on the Democrat side.

You're wrong about her TV advertising. It was more like $16,000.

She'll have the Working Families line too, not just the Democrat line

The Working Families Party is a well-known corrupt political operation working closely with ACORN on numerous illegal activities.

Mitch Rowe and Cris Christopher are hacks who make a nice buck stealing from ignorant and foolish dem candidates especially judges. Plus Wolford's tv ad looked like something done by a three-year old with a flip camera. I guess her guilt over the phony Robutrad persecutions is getting to her.
