Congressman Donovan's team pulls out a 2-to-1 victory over a desperate team that chose to support an anti-social former congressman, who had lost the position for having been convicted of multiple felonies
Supporters of the Grimm insurgency are shell-shocked
The "list" of Donovan winners is much bigger than the "list" of Grimm losers
See what it all might mean in the space for comments below.....

"Great to be on stage with Dan and acknowledged by him at victory party!"
-- Bobby C.
GOLDEN RULES !!!!
I'm watching Bob and Marty chat. But only one of them is holding a beer can. And a slice.
"Loyal Liam"
Craig and the other assorted so called leaders all learned one lesson tonight. Senator Golden is the only boss in Brooklyn.
Capano wins again...
Sap is done..Donovan knows he was with Grimm. .
It will be a very long night for Liam if you know what I mean!!
I saw Q standing in the back of the room at Donovan Victory party with Capano on stage and Eaton in front
Gomora is a total fraud.
He didnt attend Donovan's campaign kickoff
He didnt step foot in Donovan's campaign office
He didnt come to the Donovan rally a few weeks ago
He didnt do any robocalls like every other person did
He didnt lift a finger for the Donovan campaign
AND he doesnt even have a Donovan sign on his lawn. What a disgrace
What a pathetic fraud - he was with Grimm all along and was sighted with Grimm recently.
Hope Dan is aware of this
The Grimm crew predicting victory here got awfully silent..
Ahahahahga
The real victor is Marty "Senator for Life" Golden.
816
Marty wasn't even at victory party
Gale
When will u give your analysis of winners and losers locally in this race..
Capano comments and then replies to himself. He’s either ... or the Hahahaha guy that comments on this blog. I’m at the Donovan party and literally just saw him on his phone with this exact thread open . Pathetic how much he hates Liam. And no I’m not John Q.
Lets see the paper ballots in the conservative party primary. The end result for Donovan in November may not have changed.
No wonder John Q wasn't called up to the stage. His contribution to the Donovan campaign was a lawn sign on his dead end street. Meanwhile Liam Mccabe is squatting outside a yellow cab on Surf Avenue right now ---- if you know what I mean. Golden and Kassar are the Kings. All hail the kings of the new Dawn! Capano and Eaton are washed ashore
Craig Eaton and Bob Capano got nice shout outs from Staten Island Chair Brendan Lantry right before Dan Donovan went up to speak. GM should do a winners and losers list. Saperstein and Liam have got to be right up there. Jerry will come through for Liam and the Steeplechase couple but what is Saperstein going to do now that Dan knows he was with Grimm? As for Ghorra you should have seen him up there, to his credit he did look a little embarrassed to be there which means he has some shame at least.
Lying Liam got caught in a rundown squeeze play and now he's right back where he started with nothing. Saperstein Steve has good chance at winning assembly in November but Teddy Ghorra has to resign first because everybody I mean everybody knew Teddy was making deals under the table with Lyin' Liam and Grimm's Satmar Yoshiyahu crew in his living room and in the basement of Mosdot Shuva
9:30 The bay ridge Democrats please get off this blog.
What is important is that Romney won tonight
the early polling released by the Dems may have been propaganda. Maybe Grimms support was just more vocal.
RESPONSE: THE "I'VE LET YOU ALL VENT AND EXPRESS YOURSELVES....." EDITION
TO THOSE FOOLISH ENOUGH TO HAVE ASKED FOR MY ANALYSIS --- AND MY LIST OF WINNERS AND LOSERS
DAN DONOVAN WAS ENOUGH A WINNER THAT HE LIVES TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY.....
EXCEPT FOR GETTING BACK ON STAGE AND INTO THE LIMELIGHT FOR AN ENCORE FIFTEEN MINUTES OF FAME DURING A PRIMARY CAMPAIGN THAT SEEMED TO LAST FOREVER, MIKE GRIMM WAS THE BIG LOSER --- NOT JUST FOR LOSING THE GOP PRIMARY, BUT FOR LOSING IT BY ABSOLUTELY BLOWOUT PROPORTIONS
ONE MORE WINNER WORTH MENTIONING WAS STATE SENATOR MARTIN GOLDEN --- FOR TWO PRIMARIES IN A ROW, THE STATE SENATOR FROM BAY RIDGE WAS NEAR THE TOP OF A TEAM THAT DELIVERED CONVINCING VICTORIES --- I DON'T THINK THAT MR. GOLDEN DESERVES CREDIT FOR THE DONOVAN VICTORY, BUT GOLDEN'S PARTICIPATION CERTAINLY CONTRIBUTED TO THE CONGRESSMAN'S MARGIN OF VICTORY
FOR SURE, ONE MORE BIG LOSER NEEDS TO BE SINGLED-OUT --- LIAM MCCABE --- THIS IS NOW TWO STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES WHERE HE AND HIS TEAM TALKED VERY BIG AND DELIVERED VERY SMALL. ALSO, RIGHT NOW LIAM NEEDS THREE THINGS: 1) SOME "REAL RECOVERY TIME" AWAY FROM POLITICS; 2) A NEW LONG-TERM PLAN; AND 3) A NEW TEAM.....
And as the old beat cops used to say to folks back in the day, be it at the site of a spectacular car wreck, or next to a murder victim lying in the street, "Move along, it's all over, there's nothing to see here, just keep movin'.... [Repeat]
It's now 4am..Liam, Alexandra and Rob are just leaving the Salty Dog..
Saperstein is staying awake late wondering how he made another bad call backing Grimm..
Anyone who was at Donovans victory party saw there was a lot more of a relationship and interaction between Donovan and Eaton, compared to Ghorra..
Don't know how Ghorra and McCabe get through this politically ..
"IT'S A WONDERFUL POLITICAL LIFE"
Boozey, depressed, political hack stands at the edge of the 69th Street pier, about to jump. Alongside him appears a jovial but befuddled Roger Ailes.
"I thought you were dead," says Boozey.
"Got promoted to the main office," he replies.
"Well, I'm jumping. Nothing here for me. Lost the Council race to an empty suit, then I screwed over my friend, the Congressman who endorsed and campaigned for me in that same race. I went to work for his opponent, and trashed him for months. And we lost even bigger this time."
"You sure did, kid." says Ailes. "Wow, that was some serious screwing up. World class betrayal we haven't seen since Shakespeare's time."
Boozey grasps the handrail on the pier.
"Don't try and stop me," added Boozey.
There is no response. He looks around. Ailes is no longer there.
"Damn, I can't even get a movie ending right," mutter Boozey.
He stands back from the railing, and walks home to feed the dog.
I was a Donovan party last night.
While Eaton and Capano were in the middle of it all, Quaglione and Ghorra looked like 2 lost puppies.
You just can't keep Eaton and Capano down. First they pull off the Gournades move, and now this..wow
Gale is right, Liam and his sidekicks (Alexandra and Morgan) talked a big game about Grimm winning, just like Liams race, and got crushed again..
Can’t believe Saperstein fell for their crap. He was warned by many people many times. Still not ready for prime time.
UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "MEANWHILE BACK IN THE REAL WORLD" EDITION
EARLIER THIS MORNING, I MADE SOME OF MY ANALYSIS OF THE DONOVAN-GRIMM RESULT KNOWN, INCLUDING MY VIEW OF THE WINNERS & LOSERS COMING OUT OF THE PRIMARY
IT WAS AND IT REMAINS MY VIEW THAT MARTY GOLDEN WAS A BIG WINNER LAST NIGHT, EVEN THOUGH HE WASN'T DECLARED A VICTOR AND HIS NAME WASN'T EVEN ON THE BALLOT --- HE WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN THE DONOVAN WIN, ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHERS, AND HE AVOIDED A MAJOR BURDEN TO HIS RE-ELECTION CAMPAIGN OF HAVING TO RUN ALONG WITH MICHAEL GRIMM ON THE SAME TICKETS IN THE 2018 GENERAL ELECTION
NONETHELESS, EVEN AS THE SCOPE OF THE DONOVAN VICTORY WAS BEING MADE MANIFEST FOR ALL TO SEE AND FOR SOME TO SAVOR, OUT OF THE CLOUD THAT SURROUNDED THE SILVER LINING CAME A LIGHTNING BOLT AIMED RIGHT AT NONE OTHER THAN THE AFOREMENTIONED STATE SENATOR MARTY GOLDEN..... IT WAS IN THE FORM OF A NEW YORK POST ARTICLE IN TODAY'S EDITIONS ABOUT MARTY GOLDEN'S TORTURED RELATIONSHIP WITH SPEED-CAMS AROUND SCHOOLS --- YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE STUFF THAT I MENTIONED EARLY YESTERDAY MORNING IN MY POST IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THIS ONE
Several of my BSIs mentioned that Marty didn't seem very jovial last night.....
Marty almost certainly knew that his first day after his big high coming out of the Donovan win over Grimm would be a super-sized hangover of reality in the form of the New York Post article about his speed-cam problems.
READ ALL ABOUT IT !!! (See "State Senator busted by speed cams now wants them removed" by Rich Calder & Ruth Brown, 6/26/18, New York Post/ Metro [https://nypost.com/2018/06/26/state-senator-busted-by-speed-cams-now-wants-them-removed/]).
As bad as the text of the article seems to be for Marty --- it opens with the likes of this: "He feels the need to speed in school zones.... Brooklyn state Sen. Martin Golden is such a lead foot that he’s been nailed three times on speed cameras already this year — and now he’s trying to get those pesky recorders off the streets.... Golden’s Cadillac has racked up 14 speed-camera violations in school zones since 2014, according to city records, meaning it was recorded motoring 10 mph or more over the limit...." There also is a devastating photo of the State Senator interacting with an unnamed traffic enforcement officer, probably on another matter --- which I'm sure we will see over and over and over again before November 2018.
BUT DON'T FORGET --- I MENTIONED THIS STUFF ALMOST A DAY AHEAD OF THE NY POST.....
Look at all the stories about Grimm concession speech..when Grimm mentions Donovan, Liam yells "Fuck him"
Look at all the stories about donovan victory speech.. when donovan mentions grimm bob drinks beer out of a can in paper bag
When Alexandra, Rob, and Liam once again have to go to Jerry Kassar begging for forgiveness and new campaign jobs, it is likely that Bob will drink to their health and all of the amusement with which they provide him.
Bob definitely had a victory drink with Donovan and Eaton last night..I hear Liam was the butt of a few drinks considering Donovan won Brooklyn by an even larger margin overall..
Liam Mccabe was last night's biggest loser. Bigger than Grimm himself as the candidate. This now makes two straight Republican primaries where he and his team talked a very big game and delivered nothing at all. Right now, Liam needs three things: 1) some real "recovery" time away from politics 2) a new long-term plan and 3) a new team..... and I don't mean more sled dogs.
What bob needs is 1) to lose 150 pounds 2) stop drinking beer on crowded subways 3) lose 150 pounds
Liam has decisions to make much like bob. Liam has to decide whether to remain in Brooklyn or take an offer to join GOP lobbying group in DC.
Bob has to decide whether to double bag the bags with canned goods and should he have that 6th slice of pizza for lunch.
Capano wins again and the haters can't stand it!!
Today The Supreme court dealt the biggest setback for Democrats. Members of municipal Unions no longer have to pay dues.
Slightly more relevant than Bobs pizza.
The only decision Liam has to make immediately is whether he is going to drive Uber on the 4th of July for the morning or evening shift since his job with Grimm is down the tubes and no way Donovan hiring him back
They have thrown everything at Bob , including photos, and he comes back stronger each time. .
This is true
I just heard Saperstein tried to call Donovan chief of staff Ron Carera to try and clear the air about him supporting Donovan...needless to say the call was not taken..
I heard Congressman Donovan actually shook bobs hand last night. It was amazing. Bob is so important.
NOTICE: THE "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH !!!" EDITION
ANYMORE THOUGHTLESS AND REPETITIVE SLAMS AGAINST "BOB" AND/OR "LIAM" WILL GET THE QUICK HOOK FROM THIS BLOG ADMINISTRATOR..... ENOUGH SAID.....
Get the message ?????
Don't yell at me, Gail, you know very well who's doing all of the anti-Bob and anti-Liam stuff.
Stop acting like Sister Mary Banjo-Ass, and try to keep your head in the game of reporting interesting stuff for the rest of us.
Gail, why haven't you made a bigger deal about the NY1 'one finger salute' by one of the Grimm supporters? Who was that guy? He was standing next to Grimm later he gave his concession speech.
Q is the only political operative in the loop and next in line to WIN an election. He has already demonstrated what he can do in a primary.
Q not gonna be happy when Alexandra and Robert are leading Marty's field operation as was promised to them if Grimm lost.
1:25 PM is 100% FAKE NEWS. Don't believe it, and don't believe any part of it.
Q will be playing second fiddle to Liam yet again
Don't see any more sarcastic comments anymore on social media from Alexandra, Liam and Company ..just like in Liams race.. all talk..
Saperstein is still on hold for Donovan..
Donovan and his team know exactly where Sap was in the race..
Assemblyman Saperstein don't listen to the haters or naysayers with the fake news! We love you. I heard that you and Donald Jr have a big meeting in DC next week.
I heard Saperstein got invited to the White House for a private Dinner with President Trump
Assemblyman Saperstein is jumping out of a plane strapped his cronies James Mcllelland and Ray Denaro for charity to raise money for the Brooklyn GOP.
2:45 that's because they are too busy begging Jerry for forgiveness and campaign jobs.
Saperstein is still figuring out how to pay off his debt to Obrien from last year
Grimm won the conservative primary. Not official yet but Dan will soon lose that shit eatin grin.
615
Fake news
Sounds like every thing is back to normal. John Q is back to attending Friday night events "on behalf of Senator Golden" and Liam is back to sleeping on Momma Sisto's couch. While Capano and Sliwa survive yet again
the reform party is a waste of time
746 is correct ..all is r ight in the world again
This really was a wipeout of the arrogant fools who supported Grimm. In Brooklyn Liam has no where to go but back to Jerry. Alexandra and Robert once again made a bunch of new enemies and once again were involved in a campaign that not only underperformed expectations but got wiped out in the process. And even people who like them think what they did Capano was creepy. Even Saperstein wants them far from his campaign. And we also have Ted Ghorra who not only managed to piss off his fellow Chairs by supporting Grimm on the down low, but also caused a rift with Marty Golden which means that Marty is already looking at a list of his possible successors at the next reorg.
I wonder if it has sunk in how badly Liam, Alexandra , and Rob got beat by...even worse in bklyn..
I hear the photo of Capano totally backfired and old enemies became friends again because of how silly it was...ibwas shocked to hear people actually rallying around Capano with the photo..
Did Quaglione wake up from his slumber and realize the primary is over??
This morning over breakfast, even Frankenstein, "The New Prometheus," said this to the old blind man in his cabin in the woods: "Grimm and Grimm people, 'BAD'; Donovan and Donovan people, 'GOOD'."
The picture of Capano backfired badly, even some people in Marty's office were disgusted if not quick to voice their disgust.
