kelvin did not get the nomination for several reasons. one, he did not seek it till two days before the screening committe met, he was allegedly supporting debi rose, who announced on 2.22 she was not running and wanted all her supporters to back kelvin. too late, by then, the executive board was meeting on the 24th. they could not decide on a single candidate, the county committee fought it out and titone won, fair and square. incidently, alexander got his clock cleaned by savino in every black ed in 2004 and so did curtis. the black community wants to hear what you think and where you stand on issues as well, they are not knee jerk vote pullers for a black candidate. you have to talk about issues, and offer ideas as well as just look like them.
