Earth to Matt, there is NO Ward H in Jersey City, perhaps you mean Ward D?

Ward D. Typo. Thank you. 

So if Fulop has not announced he is running for mayor, why would Cassidy say he's on Fulop's ticket?

How can one lead or even call it "a ticket" if Mayoral candidate Fulop is not at the top of it?

Will Fulop and his merry band draw straws to figure out who will run when they get their "team" together?

With Jimmy Carroll Running in Ward D and Ex Sheriff cassidy on the ticket Bill Gaughn is toast in Ward D.Joe Cassidy won in the Heights off the line and with little money.
This is a big coup for Fulop.

Unlike most cities there is no line.The Mayor runs seperate from the councilmen.Its all on the same ballot but the councilmen are not lined up under the mayor.Those three could all run for council seats as a coalition with no one at the top of the ticket.Its been done before.I don't think this is the case here but that is how Fulop won his own race.

Yes, a mayoral candidate runs at the head of a ticket with a council slate regardless of where they are on the ballot. In their literature most candidates run as a "Team" when there is a declared slate.

To tip toe around the obvious by saying it will be "headed" by Fulop but he has not declared certainly makes it sound like it's a Fulop for Mayor Ticket being cobbled together.

so cassidy was the hcdo sheriff for 14 years before what? a falling out? and now, he's a disgruntled reformer with an axe to grind? good start to a winning ticket.

fulop is making a tragic mistake running for mayor this early in his career without a solid organization or a real record of achievement. and filling his dance card with also-rans and losers from years gone by is not going to help.

he won't make the runoff (especially if bret clears up that $180G issue and runs) and regardless of who he cuts a deal with (the hated healy, the loony manzo, the vengeful cunningham) will have zero influence in city politics after july 1 2009.

stevie - you coulda been a contender, but the bus to palookaville is now boarding.

Healy is in trouble regardless of if Fulop runs for Mayor. If Fulop runs he has a great ticket. If he runs for council he is putting together a slate that could win and control the council. That would really help move a reform agenda and put him in a place to run for Mayor in 4 years. Time is on Fulops side. It may be last call for Healy.

Despite what Natty Dumbo says, having a well known and respected law enforcement guy with an impeccable record on your "team" on your "ticket" or as your running mate is a good move -- especially when he carries his ward.

fulop can't even parlay the supposed momentum of his good government referenda into a campaign. then, he gets upstaged by an "ally" running for his seat because he can't make up his mind. now he puts together a slate before even announcing a mayoral run.

with the hcdo against him, there's no way fulop will take control of the council. and if he doesn't get himself re-elected, do you really think his "slate" is going to take his orders? no, they'll do what's best for them and their respective wards - that's how they get re-elected.

no, look for fulop to run for downtown again and have a tough fight against skinner. if he runs for mayor, he's finished in jc politics.

Cassidy has huge support in Ward D & Ward A, anf among Senior citizens!
