For Democrats, he's sort of the exact opposite of Democrat John Edwards, if any of you Republicans remember him at all. Democrats will just LUH-UV that he made his bucks protecting big corporations against all of the little people. Good luck to him spinning that story.<br /><br />I recall that he was Assemblyman Peter Abbate's first chief of staff; that was about a million years ago when Peter Abbate first beat your guy Arnaldo in what was then then the 49th AD in Dyker Heights and Bath Beach. <br /><br />Chirico has been close with Sal Albanese; a while back, he was Sal's treasurer for his crazy 2013 mayoral bid. Chirico also looks like he is in tight with Dilia Schack; she had mentioned Chirico as a potential candidate against Pam Harris for Assembly in 2016.<br /><br />This much is certain, as a candidate in his own right, Vincent Chirico has been absolutely nowhere on the political scene in Dyker Heights, Bath Beach or Bay Ridge over the last 20 years. But since he is obviously very cocky and self-confident, and since he thinks the rest of the field for City Council from this neighborhood suck and time has comefor him to save the world. <br /><br />On the other hand, Vince now knows that he has grabbed a tiger by the tail. I just heard that Peter Abbate is suddenly pissed-off at Chirico, because Vince has been going around telling people that Peter is supporting him; Abbate is not; and now, it looks like he won't be getting Peter's support any time soon.<br /><br />This guy also has his own longer term professional problems. There is pending litigation out there against Chirico somewhere. The judge in that outta-state case referred to him as "very unethical". <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872239785607728837.post-71569805125750609022017-05-07T18:49:57.901-04:002017-05-07T18:49:57.901-04:00Anonymous at 8:05 PM and Anonymous said at 11:17 P...Anonymous at 8:05 PM and Anonymous said at 11:17 PM are both posts by Vincent Chirico himself. <br /><br />Welcome to the blog, Vince!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872239785607728837.post-45333150649955940692017-05-07T14:42:59.252-04:002017-05-07T14:42:59.252-04:00Candidate X cant be much of a candidate if X sits ...Candidate X cant be much of a candidate if X sits at a computer all day.<br /><br />Candidate X will learn the hard way that in order to campaign you have to leave the house.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872239785607728837.post-51318503463379199742017-05-07T14:40:30.722-04:002017-05-07T14:40:30.722-04:00Chirico has gotten his share of patronage from Abb...Chirico has gotten his share of patronage from Abbate.

HOWEVER, BOTH OF YOU DO RAISE LEGITIMATE POINTS<br /><br />IF BOB CAPANO BELIEVES THAT HE SCORED ANY KIND OF "KNOCK-OUT" AT GHORRA'S DEBATE >>> HE IS DELUSIONAL..... AND FOR SOME REASON HE THINKS THAT HE CAN MAKE THAT DELUSION REAL BY PUBLICIZING IT<br /><br />With one exception, I am agnostic wrt who >>> SHOULD BE <<< the GOP nominee for City Council. <br /><br />I looked at what you called Bob Capano's "AD" on his campaign website --- the headline was, as I said "DELUSIONAL," and it makes Capano look quite benighted..... The text of his report was fine --- it was skewed toward what he thought were his best points, but that's OK..... He did the same with what looks like a piece of lit/ fund raiser announcement that so far he has distributed only by E-mail..... My opinion of that item is exactly the same as the one about his web page report --- it's glitzy, it tells the story, it makes Bob look delusional.<br /><br />All three candidates barely held their own at the so-called debate on Thursday, but it was a dreary and bloodless affair. NONE of them (including John Quaglione) was well-served by what went down.<br /><br />There was one and only one KNOCKOUT BLOW scored at the Ghorra-Doherty-McClelland-Daly presentation Thursday, the Ghorra team knocked out any chance for any candidate to get anything going at the Ghorra-Bay Ridge Manor GOP event last Thursday. Given what the Bay Ridge Manor event was supposed to be, a crowd -- generously called 150 souls by somebody obviously seeing double in some cases -- was dismal and abysmal. <br /><br />*** >>> Unless there is some kind of game-changer none of these candidates will ever be a NYC Councilman. <<< *** Thanks to the Ghorra-Golden team, if I were sure that he could win his own primary, I would be ready to endorse Democrat Candidate "X" as the best choice for the City Council from my part of Brooklyn.Galewyn Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210379476512207622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872239785607728837.post-20543215048617183492017-05-07T12:15:17.184-04:002017-05-07T12:15:17.184-04:00do his web ads show web feet
