The Republican renaissance in Southern Brooklyn crowd, including KCRP Chairman Craig Eaton, and his "Brooklyn ...Official ..." media guys Gene R. Berardelli, Esq., and Russell Gallo, and a few other of their lesser know acolytes have been especially quiet in the aftermath of the 2012 Republican election disaster throughout Brooklyn.
Their collective reticence is quite understandable. What is now obvious is that there is no apparent Republican renaissance in any part of Southern Brooklyn. In fact, the Republican Party leadership in that large area of Brooklyn needs to be completely revamped to reflect current ethnic and religious realities or else there never will be a Republican rebirth of any kind there.
What is now obvious is that there is no Republican redoubt and any area of Brooklyn — for those who are uninformed or especially thick that means Bay Ridge. Any current "leader" needs to be re-vetted based on current effectiveness and responsiveness, and then tested by the full election process in 2013.
What is becoming clearer every day is that there is no Republican incumbent whose reelection in 2014 is assured. that includes everybody whose district is completely in Brooklyn or anyone whose district intrudes into any area of Brooklyn, or to put it another way, anybody whose names end in "Golden", "Grimm" or "Malliotakis". Given that fact, as far as Brooklyn Independent Republicans are concerned, there should be no reason that any of those incumbent's re-nominations as GOP candidates should assured without solid proof of their personal support for change of the Brooklyn GOP organization.
Those factors make the upcoming 2013 election cycle all the more interesting, both with respect to the primaries that are a prelude to the organization of the Kings County Republican Party going forward, and the slates for the municipal and other races for political office in 2013.
As one of my favorite people likes to say, “Let’s see what happens next.”
