Newsmax picked up the Grimm ball and ran with it --- its homepage article even quoted Jerry Kassar about Grimm's emergence as a possible candidate against popular Dan Donovan --- --- ---
And WTF !!! Did they really also float Vito's name out there, too ???
Even though it was largely warmed over material that has been mulled over a lot locally, and even on this blog, the fact that a national Republican media outlet like Newsmax has decided to broadcast the Grimm message far and wide with a homepage featured article is a big deal (See "Grimm Seeks NY House Seat with Breitbart Support" by John Gizzi, 10/8/17, Newsmax/ Home [https://www.newsmax.com/johngizzi/former-n-y-rep-michael-grimm-steve-bannon/2017/10/08/id/818430/]).
WILL THIS BE A RACE BETWEEN THE "POPULIST" VERSUS THE "POPULAR" --- OR --- WILL VITO FOSSELLA MAKE IT A THREE-WAY CLUSTER...
Kassar was quoted by Newsmax' regular White House columnist John Gizzi as follows: ".... 'Grimm is a populist-type candidate and as such he has a chance,' Gerard Kassar, Conservative Party chairman of Brooklyn, told Newsmax. 'But he has a long way to go before he will be able to convince the rank-and-file Republican primary voters they should move from Dan to him.'..."
Meanwhile, Newsmax and Gizzi seemed to heap high praise on somebody that they thought might be another possible, and even better, candidate against Donovan, Vito Fossella. But according to Newsmax, former Congressman Vito Fossella seems to be sticking with Donovan because of his popularity and support in the district --- ".... Former Rep. Fossella told Newsmax he has no interest in entering the race and is supporting Donovan..... 'Dan Donovan has the reputation of being a well-liked and effective congressman who reflects the priorities of Staten Island and Brooklyn,' [Fossella] said...."

What's up? Mr. Massey, Bob Capano is not mentioned in your latest post. You must be slipping.

I LIKE TO SAY IT & WRITE IT AS --- " SLIPPIN' "
But, maybe you're right on the substantive point of your comment; and I hope I can make amends. So here goes: BOB CAPANO --- BOB CAPANO --- BOB CAPANO --- BOB CAPANO --- BOB CAPANO --- BOB CAPANO --- BOB CAPANO --- BOB CAPANO --- BOB CAPANO --- BOB CAPANO !!!
That should catch me up on my quota of "Bob Capano" mentions for a while.....
Mr Masey I think this posting was great. Steve Bannon has nationalized the Grimm campaign. The "popular" Dan reminds one of Hillary. Dan has all the important pols with no ideology. They stand for making a nice living off it.
GOP primaries are about issues.
UPDATE: THE "COMING GOP CIVIL WAR OF 2018" EDITION
STEVE BANNON APPEARED ON SEAN HANNITY TONIGHT AND VIRTUALLY DECLARED WAR ON ALL THE GOP ESTABLISHMENT POLITICIANS RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION IN 2018 --- INCLUDING LOTS OF NOMINAL CONSERVATIVES
MAYBE A LOCAL VERSION OF THAT MOVEMENT NEEDS TO LOOK AT THE ESTABLISHMENT GOP TYPES RUNNING THE NEW YORK STATE SENATE
Even though his focus was specifically on almost every GOP U.S. Senator up for re-election in 2018, his earlier announced support of Michael Grimm against Dan Donovan, shows that he and his group of activists will be active in many local contests.
Given the insight, depth and power of the Bannon message, and its appeal to the base of Trump-oriented voters, one wonders if another bunch of establishment Republicans might be taken on and taken out in 2018 --- a cabal inside the NYS GOP, the so-called GOP State Senate "Majority," that actually holds power only at the sufferance of Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo and a handful of insurgent Democrat State Senators --- and largely does their bidding and pursues their self-proclaimed "MODERATE DEMOCRAT" agenda.
Keep dreaming.

YOU KEEP POURING INTO ONE GLASS AND YOU’RE NEVER CHANGING THE STRAW…..

"And now this lovely ballad [about preferable dreamy thoughts] by Mama Cass..."
Stars shining bright above you;
Night breezes seem to whisper 'I love you'.
Birds singing in the sycamore tree.
Dream a little dream of me.
Say nighty-night and kiss me;
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me.
While I'm alone, blue as can be,
Dream a little dream of me.
Stars fading but I linger on, dear -
Still craving your kiss.
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear,
Just saying this...
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you -
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you.
But in your dreams, whatever they be,
Dream a little dream of me.
Stars fading but I linger on, dear -
Still craving your kiss.
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear,
Just saying this...
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you -
Sweet dreams that leave all worries far behind you.
But in your dreams, whatever they be,
Dream a little dream of me."
