Reply To: Porush (NOT) for Mayor

2) I say again and repeat again that personally I have no problem with a chassidishly dressed mayor and I even agree that it would be nice BUT the issue here is not what you and I would like but who has a chance of winning. At the moment the chances of Porush winning are very low because the population at large are not ready for a so-dressed mayor yet and will not vote for him. It is hardly a kiddush HaShem to support a loser!! As I have said here and more clearly in the YW Coffee Room, my problem is not his clothes but the man inside the clothes. The clothes only explain why he has little chance of winning and why the polls continuously show that!

4) Many candidates pull out of primaries and elections when they see their situation in the polls. It isnt fool-proof but it is a solid indication and for someone who clams to care about Yerushalayim he should have stood down and asked a better candidate to run. Do you have a better system to feel the situation other than polls?
