Gene R. Berardelli Tweets about Russell Gallo's 45th AD Fundraiser

... but Berardelli  put out zilch to anybody interested in the outcome of the Gallo-Akselrod Independence Party write-in primary case in Brooklyn Supreme Court. 

The relative importance of  pivot-points  for Gallo would be weighted toward his getting the Independence line in his court case, rather than having a good fundraiser. Berardelli obviously has a bigger hand in the former than the latter, so one wonders why he's keeping his light under a bushel basket.


Of course, getting the Independence line and having a good fundraiser are not mutually exclusive. However, if Conservative-Republican candidate Russell Gallo is going to have a real shot at a competitive race against Democratic Assemblyman Steve Cymbrowitz, he'll need to win his case to overturn the Independence Party primary win by Ben Akselrod and raise sufficient funds to go forward against Cymbrowitz. The Gallo team put a real effort into its losing opportunity to ballot primary to take the Independence line away from Akselrod, who in turn narrowly lost his Democratic primary to Cymbrowitz. For Gallo's loss in the Independence Party write-in primary to be upheld by the court would be devastating.

If Akselrod holds the Independence line through Gallo's last ditch court challenges, the buzz is that several social conservative Republicans will be pitching  a Storobin-Akselrod ticket in their common EDs.

btw,   "The question begs...":  if things were going well for the Gallo-Berardelli team in court, wouldn't Berardelli be kvelling more about that and not so much about Gallo's fundraiser?
