All that buzz, buzz, buzz about Andy-boy Gounardes and Tori what's-her-name --- FORGETABOUTIT !!!!!
I WAS JUST GIVEN AN EXCLUSIVE ABOUT A SIGHTING OF THE GREAT WHITE WHALE --- but I am sworn to secrecy.... Sorry 'bout that....
INSTEAD --- I thought that a show tune serenade for SSMG might be in order.....
From "West Side Story" (music by Lenny and words by Steve):
"Could
be!
Who
knows?
There’s something’ due any day;
I will know right away
Soon as it shows
It may come cannonballin’
Down through the sky
Gleam in its eye
Bright as a rose!
Who knows?
It’s only just out of reach
Down the block, on a beach
Under a tree
I got a feelin’ there’s a miracle due
Gonna come true
Comin’ to me!
Could it be? Yes, it could
Something’s coming, something good
If I can wait!
Something’s comin’, I don’t know what it is
But it is
Gonna be great!
There’s something’ due any day;
I will know right away
Soon as it shows
It may come cannonballin’
Down through the sky
Gleam in its eye
Bright as a rose!
Who knows?
It’s only just out of reach
Down the block, on a beach
Under a tree
I got a feelin’ there’s a miracle due
Gonna come true
Comin’ to me!
Could it be? Yes, it could
Something’s coming, something good
If I can wait!
Something’s comin’, I don’t know what it is
But it is
Gonna be great!
With
a click, with a shock
Phone’ll jingle, door’ll knock
Open the latch!
Something’s comin’, don’t know when
But it’s soon
Catch the moon
One-handed catch!
Around the corner
Or whistling’ down the river
Come on deliver
To me!
Will it be? Yes, it will
Maybe just by holdin’ still
It’ll be there!
Come on, something, come on in
Don’t be shy
Meet a guy
Pull up a chair!
The air is hummin’
And something great is comin’!
Who knows?
It’s only just out of reach
Down the block, on a beach
Maybe tonight
Phone’ll jingle, door’ll knock
Open the latch!
Something’s comin’, don’t know when
But it’s soon
Catch the moon
One-handed catch!
Around the corner
Or whistling’ down the river
Come on deliver
To me!
Will it be? Yes, it will
Maybe just by holdin’ still
It’ll be there!
Come on, something, come on in
Don’t be shy
Meet a guy
Pull up a chair!
The air is hummin’
And something great is comin’!
Who knows?
It’s only just out of reach
Down the block, on a beach
Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight....."

Gale, don't give up your day job.
Marty will lose this year for sure..
Bye bye miss American pie...
The Dems are looking for a clean sweep. They want it all; this might be their last shot at a big haul in a single election.
The Reform and Democratic parties will win all the Bay Ridge seats this year
sounds great 2:23.
So who is the democrat reform candidate? I know its not Goonardes.
430..wanna bet
SERENADE UPDATE: THE "MARTY GOLDEN MINING DISASTER OF 2018" EDITION
JUST AN IMAGE OF SIGHT AND SOUND THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE UNDER THESE EMERGENT CIRCUMSTANCES --- SOME SAY IT'S ALL COMING FROM THE TOP IN ALBANY AND IT'S FOCUSING ON ONLY ONE OR TWO FOLKS IN BAY RIDGE
.....but it's even much bigger; and certainly more complicated than that.....
Now, we sing [picture MArty G and his inner circle clustered in a dank cavern deep below the stately Bay Ridge Manor --- tightly surrounding a flickering bluish sterno flame, with the sound of dripping water in the background]:
"In the event of something happening to me
There is something I would like you all to see
It's just a photograph of someone that I knew
[Chorus]
Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it's like on the outside?
Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones
I keep straining my ears to hear a sound
Maybe someone is digging underground
Or have they given up and all gone home to bed
Thinking those who once existed must be dead
[Chorus]
Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it's like on the outside?
Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones....."

All these cryptic posts by GM because he just doesn’t know how crazy and unreliable the rumor that has him fascinated might be.
I've heard the rumor and it makes no sense that Justin runs against Marty.
Marty wishes Justin would run against him. Justin would lose to anybody If he ran for reelection today.
I've heard the rumor and it makes no sense that Quaglione has the days of the week written on his boxer shorts.
I've heard the rumor Craig was going to endorse a new entry into the race.
boy oh boy that'' change the world
So far the only person who’s been spreading the rumor is a Golden supporter. It may be nonsense aimed at spooking Andrew, as the name being floated has the strongest name ID in Southwest Brooklyn and would actually put this seat in play.
Arnaldo does scare people
I heard the rumor too- Eaton has been told by John Cats to sit on the sidelines and not go against his nemesis marty Golden or he cant drive Cats around anymore for free meals at dinners..
RESPONSE: THE "SOME SEEM WARM AND OTHERS SEEM COLD" EDITION
TO MANY OF THE COMMENTERS ABOVE
IT SEEMS TO ME THAT ONLY ONE OR TWO COMMENTERS IMMEDIATELY ABOVE ARE ACTUALLY ONTO THE INFORMATION THAT HAD BEEN FED TO ME --- I'LL REITERATE A KEY PIECE OF THE PUZZLE.....
I am quoting from my own comment above: "SOME SAY IT'S ALL COMING FROM THE TOP IN ALBANY AND IT'S FOCUSING ON ONLY ONE OR TWO FOLKS IN BAY RIDGE... but it's even much bigger; and certainly more complicated than that...."
A little bird told me that the Brooklyn Reform Party was asked to hold back their 2018 slate until after this weekend. The reason --- juggling a few of the folks in the Reform and Democrat lineups to insert a big new bat in those batting orders right before the game starts.
Rumor has it that while this "name" really wants to run, the Cynthia Nixon supporting progressive types who have been his key advisers the last couple of years are trying to discourage him. If this person runs, in the short term the biggest losers will be Kassar and Tobman as the State GOP is sure to step in and tell Golden who his new campaign team is just like they did when he ran against this person the first time. Oops.

SOMETIMES THE TECHNICAL TERM TELLS THE STORY BEST..... TWO SIMPLE WORDS
First word: "tumescent" (note: anatomical; not literary, as in tumescent prose]);
Second word: "penis"
You tell me it's a "secret"; then you all but put YKW's name, address and phone number in YOUR comments..... All I can say is this: "@$#%*=+%$&_/?&=_$#@!~....."
Vinny, the choice is very simple.....
A brief term in the state senate, and then a Supreme Court Judgeship --- OR --- Supreme Court? Sure, maybe, next year, or the year after that, or the year after that, or the year after that, etc., etc., etc.
I only took the possibility seriously once you reported it GM then I did some digging and found out it’s possible. One of Marty’s supporters is all over Twitter telling people about it, which makes me wonder how serious it is. But you know about it and another Dem operative knows about it and now it’s all over the place.
RESPONSE: THE "WHICH GOLDEN SUPPORTER ???" EDITION
TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 8:24 AM"
JUST BETWEEN YOU AND ME, WHICH OF GOLDEN'S FOLKS HAS TWITTERED ABOUT THIS (OR ANYTHING LIKE THIS) ?????
Haven't the Republicans lost control of the State Senate already?
The state senate republicans are on the way out.
Either that fat Turkey Justin is daydreaming again or the rumors about the new candidate against Marty are actually true.
Gentile. yes a fresh face.
Vince is going to get Mega'd
Gentile wins easy for Senate
Gournades wins easy in the 46th
I don’t know about winning easy but Team Golden (read BK Cons) have made so many enemies and alienated natural allies that Golden would have to raise and spend 2 million to have a chance of beating Gentile.
Gentile has established himself with the reform party with the 43% he got in Bay Ridge last year.
Today I heard the Deal of the Century fell apart and it was because Seddio blew a gasket when when he caught Mark Treyger red-handed playing footsie with Marty
Gentile wants someone to make him a judge. People know it and he'll lose the primary.
gournardes has established himself as martys challenger. gentile will cruise to lose.
UPDATE: THE "UNNECESSARY COMPLICATION PHASE" EDITION
VINNY GENTILE'S MOST "PROGRESSIVE" ADVISORS DO NOT WANT HIM TO RUN FOR STATE SENATE --- IT LINES HIM UP AND PUTS HIM ON A "SLATE" WITH ANDREW CUOMO
Vinny isn't "thinking" about all of this alone, cloistered in his fortress of solitude. He's been solicited, hectored and warned about lots of stuff; and he has his own legitimate reservations. However, my sources indicated to me that some very big people are involved on the pro- side, and can get Vinny what he needs to make this work.
But, let's all wait >>> while Vinny channels his inner Hamlet a little while longer.....
