The Atlantic City
Press waited until almost midnight and still won't call Langford the winner. In
today's print editions, they state that Langford is leading, and that he
(Langford) says that his lead at the polls is insurmountable.
Why won't The Press
say that Langford's lead is "insurmountable?"
Simple .. they just
can't bring themselves to do it. In their own miniscule coverage, they have
Scott Evans (himself) admitting that he has 1,000 absentee ballots. Evans
conceded that Langford has an absentee ballot program.
Even if you give
Evans a 1,000 AB's and Langford ZERO ... Langford still wins the
election.
It was a great
victory for Langford. It's "Back-to-the-Future" in Atlantic City. Langford
earned and deserves this sweet taste of victory. He
was unjustly defeated by a criminal syndicate three years
ago.
I am now officially
calling for Scott Evans to resign. Evans was illegitimate from the moment the
bogus and politically corrupt process that selected him in the first
place.
Evans was placed in
the appointed position by the now defeated Craig Callaway Atlantic City
Committee members, who had a 2-year term, which now ends.
Evans should not
make one more hiring. He should not participate in anything which involves
taxpayers business or dollars.
Evans should not
one more promotion, or, spend even one more penny.
I am predicting
here and now that Evans will not resign any time soon. He may even stay until
the November General Election results are certified. Thank God, that is that
latest possible date that Evans can serve. In case you didn't know, Evans cannot
serve past the certification of the General Election results.
However, Evans
should do the right thing for once, and, step aside. Let the new Atlantic City
Democratic Committee have a legal, open and honest gathering ... whereby they
would nominate 3 candidates, one of them being Langford and then City
Council can install the rightful Mayor of Atlantic City, within the next
week or two.
The Craig Callaway
era is finally over in Atlantic City. Atlantic City's 3-year political nightmare
is over!
Congratulations to
the citizens of Atlantic City, who have consistently sent all Callaway-backed
candidates packing, whenever they have been given the opportunity to go to the
polls and be heard.
Also, I was so
pleased with our instant election results that we provided at
HarryHurley.com. I want to thank Beth Epstein for her
fabulous assistance. I was able to provide real time results. We literally
owned the coverage and had the first results at every turn ... and, I was able
to officially declare Langford the winner at 9:19 p.m. last night.
We had thousands of
readers check in. My thanks and appreciation to a long-time, good friend, Bill
Pollock ... who stayed on the phone with me for 1 1/2 straight hours, as we
delivered the only election returns to the region for this pivotal
contest.
Mayor Langford has
granted me the first interview, which will take place later this morning on
"Hurley in the Morning" ... WIBG 1020 AM
radio.
Finally, I am
asking you to take a moment today and read my weekly column in The Current
Newspapers. Humbly, I am so proud of this column, because I wrote it last
Saturday morning. I made various predictions about yesterday and filed it
before Election Day itself.
