I received this in the mail from Bob Trane.  Is Carl Sciortino really the recipient of "thousands of dollars from lobbyists, special interest groups and powerful politicians" ?

If so, it's curious that in my neighborhood the Trane yard signs, stickers and posters outnumber the Sciortino signs by a margin of roughly twenty to zero.  You'd think Carl might want to spend some of those thousands on visibility though perhaps he's saving his money for the stickers.

Can anyone comment on this mailer?  Does anyone have any opinions about the race itself?


from Sciortino's Campaign Manager, Kevin Lownds:

Carl has earned the support of the nurses, teachers, police, social workers, and environmental, gay rights, and women's rights groups. He is also quite willing to let the voters know where he stands on the issues important to the community. If you take a look at the campaign websites, www.electcarl.org and www.bobtrane.org, you'll see the difference."

I have yet to hear a single issue where Bob Trane claims he would differ from Carl Sciortino. Has he explained this at all?

I think Bob Trane has promised never to endorse anyone running against Bob Trane. I believe that is the key issue for Bob Trane.

Carl doesn't. What else does Trane stand for?
