The Governor’s Race Is On!
Sen. Terrence "Positive" Nelson
Senator Terrence “Positive” Nelson reaffirmed his intention to run for Governor of the Virgin Islands at a news conference on Wednesday.
The three-term St. Croix senator, member of the Independent Citizens Movement (ICM) party, has been the top vote getter on St. Croix in the last two elections. He did not announce a running mate, but said he has two top candidates, one from St. Thomas and one from St. John.
He said he would announce his running mate as soon as plans were concrete, but assured the community it would be someone who wants good government and has the talent to oversee the workings of the banking and insurance industries.
In addition to his experience as a senator, Nelson outlined his background in teaching, labor relations and community activism and said he will continue to be proactive in promoting accountabilty.
Relative to the ongoing matter of Governor John P. deJongh, Jr.’s use of public funds to renovate his private residence at Estate Mafolie, Nelson said the matter should be handled by the courts, particularly “since there’s been no remorse,” shown by the Governor. He emphasized that his stand on the matter was not related to his candidacy, but that the Governor’s decision to dispute the US Inspector General’s report that held him responsible for improper use of public funds was troubling.
“It is immoral… it is repulsive to think that this gross action can be denied publicly,” Nelson said.
And unlike the hopeful vision of the future the Governor attempted to paint in Monday’s State of the Territory address, Nelson said he believes the atmosphere in the Virgin Islands is one of fear and uncertainty, and that the problems will only be solved through good leadership.

Governor Nelson? What planet will he govern?
sorry as much as i like Positive . The word in Stx is that he will not be the next elected governor.
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits.” (Matthew 7:15,16).
“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.” (2 Peter 2:1)
“And the beast was taken, and with him the False Prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.” (Rev. 19:20)
The end time is prophesied to be full of deceptions (Matthew 24:11), and the elect will not be totally immune to having the wool pulled over their eyes (Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22). It will take careful evaluation to see through the façade and to recognize Satan’s servants for what they are, rather than what they appear to be (II Corinthians 11:14-15).

DeJongh’s hired consultants know of his exposed underbelly.
They will attempt to hoodwink and bamboozle the Voters with deJongh’s perceived “strengths” while simultaneously attacking what they perceive as the “weaknesses” of the challenger(s).
DeWolf has already bitten one Shepherd, and his Wolf pack have their eyes, teeth, and claws poised toward the other Shepherd(s) and guard dogs.
Once the Shepherd and the guard dogs are removed—–nothing stands in the way between the wolf and the sheep.
Voters, BeWare of DeWolf!
What happenned to the governor in that picture posted by Mark of the Beast?? He looked like he had a gulp of Captain Morgan!
Let de Jongh and his consultants come. They are going to get F’d up in due time…
Perhaps by 2014, if we vote with our heads instead of our heart or pocket, we’ll have replaced all the elected officials that are corrupt and hold us back as a viable entity.
We are not waiting until 2014…it’s going to happen in 2010!
A couple of weeks ago before the news broke this week about Jimmy suing the Democratic party over an election that he lost in 86, Jimmy was all for paper ballots in this 2010 election.
Well Jimmy has now flip flop and changed his mind that he is NOT for paper ballots anymore because he’s getting paid by de Jongh to get raid of the grass roots initiative for paper ballot in the primary and general elections of 2010.
It’s Jimmy O’Bryan fault that the electronic voting machines were brought to the VI and continue to be used in the VI. Jimmy remained silent on the fact that it was because of his failed law suit that the VI Board of Election switched from paper ballots to faulty electronic machines.
All this past week Jimmy has been flip flopping like Alvin Williams on Mr. P’s 1620 radio station. Everyone is laughing at Mr. P calling his morning show the flip flopping dumb bread talk show. Mr. P has worked so hard to now have a hypocrite flip flopper like Jimmy O’Bryan demeaning his radio station.
Can’t wait to get some more laughs out of Jimmy next week as he flip flops his way through another week of denial about his failed election bid and whining to the courts about paper ballots.
Jimmy, the chickens are coming home to roost you undercover de Wolf supporter.
Your busted!
Gonna vote ALL OF THEM OUT that are bad? But they aren’t all up for re-election this year! Start this year, finish in 2012, and depending on who gets in this year for Governor – replace them if bad in 2014!
In these few words “I don’t see a particular concern” hypocrite Jimmy O’Bryan ripped off four brand new police vehicles in the name of “security” for then Governor Charles Turnbull.
“Government House is taking brand new police cars away from the officers who need them, according to a union leader representing police supervisors.”
“The diversion of four vehicles meant that Zone C Command, serving the eastern end of St. Thomas, got three new cars instead of five, Christian said, and Zone D Command on St. John also got shortchanged. “These cars are run 24 hours a day,” she said. “That’s four less cars to respond to cases.”
“Government House spokesman James O’Bryan said the team that provides security for the governor and the lieutenant governor gets new police cars whenever new ones arrive. “Executive security falls under the commissioner of Police, and it’s a common practice,” he said.”
“But Christian, who is secretary and public relations person of LSEU Local 18, said new vehicles are covered in the union contracts for both police supervisors and uniformed officers, and reducing the number of cars delivered under the agreement is a contract violation.”
Jimmy O’Bryan is a hypocrite and is in no position to criticize John de Jongh, Jr., for making security enhancements to his private residence. Jimmy will be made to look like a fool if he even calls himself entering into any election against John P. de Jongh, Jr.
Jimmy is damage goods that is seeking revenge against the Democratic Party for his fail law suit of the 80s.

deGreat has a degree, but Mapp has none.The statue of limitation concerning the $25,000/mo might be up, but just think about how nasty it will get when Mapp is sued by the consultant team. Foncie will drop from the race before his trial begins. Nelson will run out of money. Who would be left to challenge deJongh?
