Smith Polling Could Mean Another Contender for Mayor's Race

A thread on JCList mentions a new live poll being conducted in the city comparing positives and negatives of current Mayor Jerramiah Healy against former (Acting) Mayor L. Harvey Smith. Smith would join former Mayor Bret Schundler, downtown councilman Steven Fulop, and State Senator Sandy Bolden-Cunningham as possible mayoral contenders. The May 2009 election is already over shadowing November's presidential election in the city; the mayor and council are both up for re-election, and decisive incumbent losses could be mean a power shift and major blow to the Hudson County Democratic machine.
