I agree with # 3 whole heartedly!

With respect to Mr. Hersh’s statement that

“… I’d also like to point out, that when I sent David an email about stickers a lone individual put out against his opponent…”

I disagree.

The stickers were plastered all over boro park and flatbush. I have no reason to believe that it was pasted by the Greenfield campaign. However. as “Mottell1″ comments, there’s a tornado of anger towards Dov Hikind from the people in the community. It would appear that this was an organized effort within the community (not a lone individual) who stated their satisfaction with 1 1)Dov’s being mevaze Rabonim and
2) the government money coming in, “for some reason(s)” not making its way to the benefit of the community.

I totally disagree with this analysis. The real reason why David Greenfield won was Dov Hikind…Yes…Dov Hikind. Years ago, Hikind was seen and appreciated as someone who worked and stood for the ideals of OUR community. Then sometime in-between this all changed. Hikind just became your average clubhouse politician. When Simcha Felder, former Hikind Chief of Staff, ran for State Senator, Hikind supported his black opponent. Greenfield, also a former Hikind chief of staff, found himself, as well, without his former boss’s support. Is this something personel? In our transparent society, that is all you hear on the street corners and shuls of Flatbush and Boro Park. People aren’t fooled. We all know that this is politics. Our ideals also weren’t furthered by Hikind’s support of Lander against frum candidates. Dov we appreciated your efforts in the past…now you no longer represent US…it is time to retire.

It’s very simple. Greenfield is a pro; Lazar is an amateur. It was obvious every step of the way. lazar’s people were poor strategists and poor communicators.
