Former Brooklyn GOP spokesman Jacob Kornbluh picks winners and losers in the 2012 Elections — He’s right, he’s wrong, he’s all over the lot --- BUT HE'S RIGHT ABOUT THIS, CRAIG EATON'S BROOKLYN GOP IS A BIG LOSER

Oddly Kornbluh picked as a “winner”  —   the organization “Community First” founded and headed by the parvenu “Republican” Rabbi Nachman Caller.  However, the candidates supported by “Community First” lost

In his November 7th post “WINNERS AND LOSERS OF THE 2012 ELECTIONS” on his personal blog, “Let’s Talk Dogri (Straightfoward), look who “The Jacob Kornbluh” said were “LOSERS” in the 2012 elections:

“David Storobin and the Brooklyn Republicans: ***  Southern Brooklyn ain't so red anymore. With Turner and Storobin's departure, and local candidates relying on down the ballot victories or at least coming close, proves the interesting dynamics of politics in Brooklyn. Special elections and general elections don't bind together, they don't guarantee the same turnout and outcome. Storobin got no support from the Republicans statewide and locally, and no support within the Jewish community to even make the race close enough to send a message. David Storobin is still young and motivated, but his six month political career is over as of now.”

As far as that goes, I think that  “TJK” hit the nail right on the head....

On the other hand I must completely disagree with Mr. Kornbluh when it comes to his assessment of Nachman Caller’s “Community First” organization as a winner in 2012, quoted herein at length:

“Community First: ***   'Community First' founded and headed by Rabbi Nachman Caller and directed by Moshe Friedman get the credit for opening the conversation about our community's needs and educating the individual to learn the issues that matter most to all of us, examine the candidates record and holding our elected officials accountable. Agudath Israel's lobbyists and the drawer of the super Jewish district Shea Ostreicher now know there's a new kid in town. The Republican Senate leadership or by reverse the new Democratic majority leadership and local public officials know that Rabbi Caller and his new organization are a powerful voice representing the individual in the community, and are not to be ignored or neglected.”

How can “Community First” have been a “winner” in the 2012 elections when three of its strongly supported candidates: David Storobin and Ben Akselrod in Brooklyn; and Eric (corrected from "David") Ulrich in Queens, all lost completely and absolutely ( I am working on a detailed analysis of how the strategies of Democrat “consultant/director” Moishe Friedman, took a special part in these very strong candidates' campaigns and turned those campaigns into non-competitive failures).

Kornbluh named altogether too many winners and losers ---  including Mitt Romney,  who did  nothing in Brooklyn, and still ran well ahead of most of the GOP's local candidates in Kings County.
