I’m not sure about the McCarthy votes. I think Harrington has a better shot.

I suppose it's too much to hope that Dibble will get the hint and go away.

It doesn't matter. He'll just lose again if he runs.
All those signs you saw everywhere? They go back in storage for a few years.
Just like someone posted elsewhere - signs don't vote.

Bob got his ass smoked by Dibble.
That has to hurt.
The breakdown by wards should be interesting. My bet is Bob didn't win his own.

He didn't - the only Ward Pangallo lost was 4.

Please reread. I was talking about how McCarthy came in well behind Dibble. This is why I used the name Bob in my post.

I was responding to your last point of "My bet is Bob didn't win his own." Sorry for the confusion!

Thanks. The "Pangallo," threw me off.
Not winning your own ward that you have been in for years and years is pretty bad. Bob needs to take a break from politics.

Cronyism vs. biz as usual. Time to move. Pangallo camp has got to freaking.

Sorry I'll take the guy who hasn't tried his best to quash discrimination and sexual harassment lawsuits

It's the Valley Patriot so take it with a grain of salt, but the same facts are in a Herald article behind a paywall and in a few other sources.

Thank you!

More than a grain of salt the valley patriot is just know for going after Harrington and other public employees because it’s a right wing nonsense website. It’s utter garbage and never a good source to pull from. That happened in 2015 and was thrown out. If there are sexual harassment problems within Salisbury there are a number of legal remedies available to employees and it would be a much better documented thing and not just something in the patriot. Most of those employees are union so it would be very easy to get their union on Harrington’s case. Fact is that this smells like utter BS.

As expected. Happy to see that Pangallo got more votes than Harrington. Bodes well for the election in May.
A lot of people did not turn out it seems. If all Dibble’s votes go to Harrington and the other two’s votes ALL went to Pangallo it would be a narrow margin. I highly doubt many Dibble folks would vote for Pangallo but could any of Kraft’s votes go to Harrington? Idk enough about her. Or McCarthy’s even?
Kraft votes NOT going to pangallo. Kraft is one of the most anti-driscoll people in the city, and pangallo is Driscoll’s former chief of staff.
I don't think all her votes are informed tho. Some ppl will vote for a female coded name not knowing anything about the race. I wonder how many dibble votes are just for dibble, cult of dibble voters that will or will not transfer to harington.
Thanks sorry!

Same turnout for this prelim as for the 2021 prelim. Salem's turnout is never earth shaking.
All of the votes not cast for Pangallo will go to Harrington. However, it is somewhat of a moot point because the general election will see a much larger turnout. Once the data is released, it’ll be interesting to see what the demographics were of the people who voted. Depending on the data, it may show us who maximized their base during this primarily that had a low turnout.
Additionally, you’ll now see more head to head debates where both candidates will now differentiate themselves from each other.
Thank you for that! I am not well versed enough in Salem politics so I appreciate the info.
