With New York State Republican Chairman Ed Cox and his National Committee counterpart, Reince Priebus, appearing together in Brooklyn for a ‘listening tour’ — will anybody be listening to Brooklyn GOP Chairman Eaton ?

Perhaps Eaton's invitation is in the mail and will arrive shortly.... Perhaps he doesn't even want to go...  Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps....

According to a report in the Daily News’ Daily Politics blog, “The Rev. A.R. Bernard... will host RNC Chairman Reince Preibus at his Brooklyn megachurch for a Monday talk about the future of politics.... State GOP Chairman Ed Cox, who's spoken enthusiastically about Bernard getting into the already packed NYC mayoral contest, is also in on the Monday talk.” ( “Rev. A.R. Bernard To Host Chairmen Of National, NY Republican Parties For Brooklyn Talk” by Celeste Katz, 3/7/13, Daily News/Daily Politics [http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/dailypolitics]). Specifically omitted from any mention about this upcoming GOP event in Brooklyn is the Brooklyn GOP Chairman Craig Eaton, who is apparently not going to be present at the big Monday parley.

Other coverage of the announcement of the upcoming Republican event in Brooklyn similarly omits any mention of Eaton or of  Brooklyn’s only elected Republican official, State Senator Martin Golden (See “Cox, RNC Chair Priebus, In Brooklyn For ‘Listening Tour’” by Nick Reisman, 3/7/13, YNN Capital Tonight [http://capitaltonightny.ynn.com/2013/03/cox-rnc-chair-priebus-in-brooklyn-for-listening-tour/]).  Nick Reisman described next Monday's event as part of an effort by the Republican Party in New York and across the country to reach out to minority communities. At that time NYS GOP Chairman Ed Cox and his RNC counterpart, Reince Priebus, will be together in Brooklyn for what is  being called an “African-American listening tour.”  The event apparently centers on the Rev. A.R. Bernard; and it is scheduled to take place Monday at 2PM  in the Christian Cultural Center, where the Rev. Bernard is the pastor.

Meanwhile in the Southwest part of Brooklyn, perhaps Eaton can get Golden to use the time to sit down and talk over how things are going among themselves and the rest of the Brooklyn GOP, since it looks like neither will be busy with the GOP big shots at their Monday afternoon meeting with Reverend Bernard. And Craig when it comes to the Brooklyn GOP leadership in 2013 be sure to say to your old friend Marty,  "Please don't tell me, 'Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps *** Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps *** Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps'."
