Nicole is in


From the Daily News:

Four years after her fiancé's death on their wedding day, Nicole Paultre Bell is focused on Election Day.

Bell, who typically marks her November by the anniversary of Sean Bell's death in a 51-shot police fusillade, is intent on winning a vacant City Council seat from Queens.

"What happened to me four years ago - I didn't expect that to happen," Bell said in an exclusive interview with the Daily News officially announcing her candidacy.

"This is what life threw my way. It made me realize that there are serious problems out there."

The once-tragic figure says her platform centers on education reform and elderly care - and improving police and community relations.

The inexperienced candidate running to replace the deceased Thomas White Jr. already faces one obstacle: The 26-year-old single mother of two doesn't live in the Jamaica, Queens, district she wants to represent.

Former City Councilman Allan Jennings, one of her opponents in the Nov. 2 special election, was quick to attack Bell's announcement.

"She has name recognition?" snapped Jennings. "So did George Bush. But he couldn't get elected in this district."

What qualifies her to run for office? What relevant experience does she have? And the fact that she does not even live in the district, but says she will move into it prior to the election... well she will fit in just fine with the rest of the unethical politicians!!!

An attractive, bright young woman. Sean Bell must have been a world class moron to go whoring on the night before he was going to be wed. What does she tell the daughters where their "papa" was that night?

Maybe she can live in Florida and skip the paying taxes part like Mister Galisano.

Someone came to my door yesterday evening asking if I would sign a petition to put her name on the ballot. I declined.
