There are rare moments when you actually speak sensibly.  Voting is a hassle on a day when there are other things to do.  In the morning you are rushing to work and at the end of the day there are things to do. So voting for people who don't normally vote isn't a priority.

For David to win next time he will have to spend the next 4 years on the other side of Van Wyck.  If the black Americans don't want to accept him then he will have to find first and second generation black Caribbean people who might if he shows an interest in their lives. He needs to find out the issues that they have an be a thorn on the side of Adrienne to deliver. 

This will not only build trust but will also show that Adrienne isn't delivering. I am operating on the assumption that she will be the typical southeast Queens politicians who will not.  If in fact she is delivering then he needs to do what he can to get her support 8 years from now when she is term limited.  David has to have a godfather/mother over there if he is going to win.

I said before and I say again. Thinking that victory lies with Indo Guyanese isn't working. One they don't vote because they don't see why they should, especially in local elections. Two many are probably cynical of these Indo Guyanese leaders following the whole fiasco with Ed Ahmad and his cronies.  The third is that the Indo Caribbean community is split into several districts.  And the days of creating an ethnically based district are gone.
