Disclaimer - do not take this as gospel but I assure you there is no attempt to intentionally mislead the reader. It is based on sources I consider to be somewhat in the know and also some educated guesswork. I am simply trying to see how this list measures up compared to what eventually unfolds. I could see an NCAA type pool coming out of this is it was Vegas but alas, this is Hoboken where virtually no betting takes place (I'm kidding).

Candidate X- This person will run announcement pending. Aren't surprises fun?
Candidate Y- This person picked up the forms at City Hall.
Notables Most Likely Not Running:
Bill Noonan- (too busy with new job)
Eric Kurta- (no political aspirations other than City Clerk or document specialist)
John Branciforte- (former Zoning Board member not running)
Donna Antonucci- (she would have to step down from Revolt in order to run)
Carol Marsh- (for Mayor -on record saying if Dawn runs I will support her)
Omar Dyer- NJ.com crackpot actually lives in Jersey City I think which would make him ineligible yet he posts and posts.
Ruben Ramos- Not completely sure on this one but in a conversation I had with him he was enjoying his assembly job.
Tom Foley ESQ - In March starting new job in Long Island City. I can't see how he will be able to run for Mayor if that is happening.
Kurt Gardiner- (too much fun with the blog)
