Quaglione Rolls Along --- Sullivan Stumbles and Grumbles

Hardhat and Blue Collar Guy, Andrew Sullivan, is learning the nuts and bolts of running for public office in the school of hard knocks and bare-knuckle politics  —  John Quaglione’s campaign just rolls along and announces some key endorsements

In an Email entitled  “Corrupt Behavior ...Again!!? ” Andy Sullivan lashes out at the Republican, Conservative and  Independence Parties;  AND  MOST  OF  ALL,  AT  STATE  SENATOR MARTY GOLDEN  —  In the meantime the Quaglione Campaign announces key endorsements

Sullivan starts out by saying,  “I'm a private citizen who has worked for both the GOP and the Conservative Party. I have donated my time and money to help all of the incumbents and candidates who ran under those flags.... But when ...the GOP, Conservative and the Independence Part[ies] ALL endorse [my opponent John Quaglione] because [his employer and political boss, State Senator Marty Golden] said so  —  THAT I have a problem with.”

In an Email with a rather wide distribution sent out earlier today,  Mr. Sullivan recounted that somebody named  “Mike Zumbluskas” from the Independence Party called to tell Sullivan that the Independence Party Chairman Frank McKay had decided to endorse Sullivan’s opponent, John Quaglione.  According to Sullivan, this Mr. Zumbluskas then gave Hardhat Andy the down-low that Chairman McKay was doing Marty Golden  “a favor and supporting his guy” so the whole  interview process wouldn't make a difference for the Independence Party endorsement.

Again stepping into his role as everyman in the street, Sullivan wants to know, whether it is right for one man like Marty Golden to have all of that power; and whether Golden should get to tell the chairmen of three parties to endorse an “office boy out of [Golden's] office who has never had any other job except for him.”

During the same time frame, the fully up and running campaign of that “office boy” arranged for a public gathering to fully amplify the fact that at 10 a.m. today, “New York City Council Candidate John Quaglione” would announce he had received the endorsement of the Conservative and Independent Parties; and that all of that would happen at the New Utrecht Reformed Church, 18th Avenue and 84th Street, Brooklyn.
