This is even more true when the opponent is still only a potential opponent.<br /><br />The arguments that the prior failed Republican City Council candidate JQ brought up about another prior failed Republican City Council candidate BC are absolute fluff, because they mean nothing. If BC doesn't move back into the Brooklyn district before running, he isn't really running. Once BC moves back to Brooklyn JQ loses the issue of residency.<br /><br />In attacking BC as his potential Republican opponent the way that JQ recently did it, JQ only gave BC's moves, which so far only make it LOOK like he's running in Brooklyn, more heft and credibility.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872239785607728837.post-18907333560195085662016-04-14T20:30:42.571-04:002016-04-14T20:30:42.571-04:00John Quaglione made a fair point.

GOOD ONE, QUAGS....<br /><br />HERE'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT:<br /><br />This appeared in "Courier Life's -- Brooklyn Daily" by Julianne Cuba: "And after Bob Capano made public his desire to run for Vincent Gentile’s (D–Bay Ridge) Council seat next year, a few others have come out of the woodwork — including Golden staffer John Quaglione.... Quaglione slammed Capano for angling to represent a neighborhood he doesn’t even live in.... 'If he lives in Staten Island and he wants to run again, then maybe he should run in Staten Island,' Quaglione said. 'But for our sake, Brooklyn deserves level-headed Republicans in the City Council, and we deserve someone who is in touch with the neighborhood and not someone who has left.'... Quaglione says he knows the area better than carpet-bagger Capano, who would have to move into the district by election day to qualify for office.... The state senate staffer would focus on constituent services if elected, he said.... 'The conversation needs to go back to basics,' Quaglione said. 'If you don’t feel safe, your garbage isn’t getting picked up, you’re getting a flat tire, you’re not happy with city services — that’s where the focus will be.'"
