Politicker NJ: Newark Straw poll: Booker detractors nurse hurt in Central and West, but Minor largely undefined as challenger
Disappointed with Mayor Cory Booker, a random scattershot of voters in the Central and West wards don’t know enough about challenger Clifford Minor to feel confident he would do better and some question his campaign trail passion, according to a PolitickerNJ.com straw poll conducted Saturday.
Dismantling your opponent’s platform while failing to articulate your own is rarely a winning formula, and never sparks meaningful policy.
We received a 10-page pamphlet from the Minor camp lambasting the mayor for everything from his high-powered friends to the city’s long-running battle with crime. Minor has failed to define his platform as anything but the anti-Booker campaign.
One is left to wonder how Minor would govern City Hall, if given the opportunity.
