Did any of the announced Republican candidates for public
office advance their campaigns 20% toward a win at the finish line on primary
day ???
During the last month, did anybody in any faction inside the Republican Party infrastructure
advance the GOP as a whole 20%, or even the standing of their own faction inside the party, toward a
goal of organizing and/or re-organizing the party in September ???
Let’s start with the candidates citywide --- well,
let’s say that a 20% improvement on an infinitesimally small number might be
impossible to observe and measure. For
example, the little bit of talk about
Nicole Malliotakis possibly being interested in a run for mayor was possibly a
20% uptick in the news about GOP mayoral candidates….. Like I said,
very difficult to observe, much less measure. As for the NYC Public Advocate and NYC Comptroller
races --- it’s like we’re at a crickets’ late summer symphony.
The county-wide races in Brooklyn have been a wasteland for
years; so, 20% of nothing is
nothing. That means as far as the GOP
is concerned, everything is right on
track for picking BP and DA candidates from the Democrat’s or
Conservative’s list, or something becoming
really typical, leaving the lines blank.
So far in 2017, the City
Council candidacies are a huuuuuuuge embarrassment for the GOP….. There is a contested primary in only one of
Brooklyn’s council districts, the 43rd; and I know of only one other declared Republican
candidate for the NY City Council in one other council district, who has registered and is campaigning. Needless to say, the contested seat in the
43rd Counc. Dist. has generated the most interest and gotten the
most coverage --- but in April, 2017, the contestants appear to have cut back their
activities 40 to 50% rather than advance
their image and brand 20%..... (It
reminds me of overhearing a consultant advising one of the candidates late this
winter --- that brilliant sage advised one of the three
candidates in the 43rd Counc. Dist. that there was nothing much to
do until petitioning, except some fund
raising and getting your name in the papers.
I must have missed that adviser’s sit-downs with the other two
candidates, because all three seem to be
reading from his playbook.) Maybe, the next financial filings will show that
everybody was busy as bees fund-raising in April (but, I’m not holding my breath on that one).
Now, for the Kings
County Republican Party’s organizing efforts throughout Brooklyn. Everybody’s stealth campaigns to organize
the NY State and Kings County Committees have been 100% successful in attaining
their goals for stealth…..

If you stop a voter on the street who follows this stuff they'll tell you the only news they heard is about Bo Dietl who has proven what everybody already knew. Bo is an idiot and he's trying to kill off what's left of the NYC GOP. I guess its ok to have a good laugh at your own funeral.
Dietl had a great pitch to GOP. I tried to run as a democrat but I couldn't fill out the voter registration card, so I'll settle for Republican line.
Gail, you were doing better with the 'show tunes' on your last post.
Bo Deitl or Bo Peep, it don't matter if there aren't any Republican sheep.
wasnt Bo Dietl the porn star into golden showers?
Yikes !!
Has anyone seen Chuck Schumer lately? Hes had more plastic surgery than Joan Rivers.

THERE WERE NO "SHOW TUNES" IN MY LAST POST OR ANY OF MY COMMENTS IN THE THREAD THAT FOLLOWED
You're not as sly as you think. Not all old tunes are "show tunes"; and not all "show tunes" are old tunes. But if a jukebox has both old tunes and "show tunes" on it.....
I got a mailing from McCabe a few weeks ago, and was one of about 75 Republicans who attended his meet & greet last Thursday night.
I'm not 100% sold on Liam yet, but it seems to me that doing mailings and holding public meetings with groups of voters in April is a good thing for his campaign and the local Republican Party.
Does handing out palm cards about ways to reform the MTA count?
McCabe's been doing that for a couple of weeks now.
His piece rips the MTA for taking 6 months to refurbish a single train station. Smart move.

Your estimate of 75 people seems generous based on the photos that Liam put up on his sites. But, it did look like a fairly decent crowd, maybe closer to 50 or so..... That's not bad for a mid-week "meet & greet" upstairs at a VFW.....
Liam is doing more than that, I saw him "oot & aboot" taking pictures of some of the rot & decay around the neighborhood..... I suspect he'll be doing a mailing and/or a presentation having to do with that sometime before September..... Possibly, as part of something on a larger scale about infrastructure.....
I saw Capanos picture. It was on a milk container
