Bay Ridge's hometown paper saw the political fireworks over the 3rd Avenue Stroll as a big story.....
Staffer John Quaglione and campaign guru Michael Tobman were prominent in the "Brooklyn Reporter" coverage of Marty Golden's flap with Fight Back Bay Ridge [FBBR]
For those who seem to think that Julianne Cuba and Julianne McShane aren't fair in their reporting of the tiff between "FBBR," and Marty Golden and his supporters, how about this report by Meaghan McGoldrick, "Ridge political divide takes shape beyond Summer Stroll" in a completely different newspaper --- the umbrella weekly news publication, "Brooklyn Reporter," parent-successor to the Home Reporter and The Spectator.....
According to Meaghan McGoldrick's report --- "A Bay Ridge political back-and-forth which erupted on social media in the wake of the August 3 Summer Stroll on Third has led to questions of legality, and it has more to do with just balloons and tote bags.Days before the stroll – where liberal activist group Fight Back Bay Ridge distributed stop-sign shaped fans and yellow tote bags filled with literature detailing state Sen. Marty Golden’s voting and driving record, while the pol’s staff handed out nearly the same color yellow balloons with his name on them – the pol’s re-election rep penned a letter urging the New York State Board of Elections (BOE) to investigate the grassroots group, which, Golden’s campaign claims, had failed to register as an independent expenditure committee despite raising funds to unseat the longtime pol.... Following the stroll, objections to Fight Back Bay Ridge’s campaign were also raised on Facebook and Twitter by Golden staffer John Quaglione, in a post that garnered hundreds of comments as area residents debated whether, as Quaglione asserted, the people at the event for Fight Back Bay Ridge were aggressive in their efforts, a complaint that members of the group flatly deny.... See "Ridge political divide takes shape beyond Summer Stroll" by Meaghan MCGoldrick, 8/15/18, The Brooklyn Reporter [https://brooklynreporter.com/story/ridge-political-divide-takes-shape-beyond-summer-stroll/]).
The article goes on to note that: "The letter, penned by Golden’s campaign spokesperson Michael Tobman, focuses on Fight Back Bay Ridge’s distribution of flyers, as well as its creation of a GoFundMe page to fund the printing of literature as well as 'other ideas that will help unseat Marty Golden.'... Tobman has also written to GoFundMe in hopes of getting the site to remove the fundraiser. To date, it has raised more than $1,500 towards its $2,000 goal...."
McGoldrick also told the FBBR side of the story:
"The group had its own rebuttal. Its attorney, Bay Ridge resident Eugene Strupinsky, sent the pol’s office a cease and desist letter demanding that Golden’s staffers stop 'discouraging and criminalizing' the group’s First Amendment rights to free speech – with Quaglione’s post and subsequent comments made by fellow Golden staffer Arlene Rutuelo, a focal point.... The letter, sent to Golden’s office on August 8, claims that, following the stroll, Quaglione 'stated on social media his intent to prevent the group from participating at future strolls' and that Rutuelo, 'who approves applications for tables at the event, also publicly claimed the group lacked a permit, and so were in violation of event "rules.” '.... 'My clients don’t need a permit to engage in protected First Amendment activity, nor do they need to rent a table for an act of protest on a public street,' said Strupinsky, who, with his letter, produced proof of threatening comments from local residents which came in response to Quaglione’s post, which he eventually deleted on Facebook, which stated that Fight Back Bay Ridge was 'creating hostility' at the Stroll.... 'I don’t know if he was acting under your authority as your communications director, but to state such things numerous times, and throughout the weekend, only to finally delete many of these comments when some of your purported defenders offered to bring ‘bats’ and ‘riot gear’ to the next stroll, was irresponsible at best,' Strupinsky wrote, stressing also Quaglione’s original wording, which referred to the scene at the stroll as a 'battlefield.'..."
The article continued with several he-said, she-said comments by Michael Tobman, a spokesman for Marty Golden, and Mallory and Sally McMahon for FBBR, all of which are great to get a flavor of the infighting between the two sides....

Marty never loses.
Tobman is a genius. Goldens opposition looks like left wing screw balls. Even the Golden haters on this blog admitted as much.
One of Marty's goons threatened to burn down Brannan's office tonight. Sounds like war on the streets if you ask me. I'm voting for the Green Party candidate
358, your sample is so small that a chi-square analysis shows that your conclusion is likely to be skewed. Even if you wanted to make a practical guess about the 2018 outcome for your boy Marty, the way you should say it is that in the upcoming election Marty is not likely to lose. You really can't do any better than that.
I look at 2018 in a little different way. A very long time ago, the pre-Socratic philosopher Heraclitus more or less said that a man can't step into the same river twice. The river is always changing, and so is the man.
If he would have used your boy Marty as an example, Heraclitus would say, "Marty Golden can never get into the same election as any of the ones that he has won before ever again."
Variability and variables, means that there are lots of things going on all of the time, even for Marty Golden.
6:26 sounds like crap.
Marty has run in 11 primaries and elections and always wins. Always.
Sounds like Justin Brannan has completely lost his mind. After FBBR was exposed as his front group and he had to disavow their boycotts of small businesses like Bohemian Rose, he stopped tweeting is support of Antifa and toned down his rhetoric. He was “Treygered” all over again only this time by Marty Golden. This fake story about threats that never happened is a desperate cry for help from Justin. People need to get him treatment before he starts acting out on his paranoid delusions.
I thought fat people were jolly
358 & 626, your problem is that you don't get fundamental philosophy and epistemology. Everything that you are arguing represents your opinion, and a biased opinion at that. There is no factually sound and logical basis for you to make any argument that Marty Golden will win in 2018 based on anything he might have done in the past.
In Edinborough, across the street, known as the "Royal Mile," from Saint Giles Cathedral is a statue of David Hume. David Hume more or less updated by about two millennia the proposition of Heraclitus that I mentioned in my comment to 358 earlier, at least with respect to past and future events. Hume's overall "Problem of Induction" deals, among other things, with predictions based on observations of past consistencies (like Marty Golden winning all of his "eleven" past elections and primaries). Hume would say that it would be false logic and knowledge to infer or posit through inductive reasoning that Marty Golden will win in 2018, because he has won "eleven" times before, or put another way "always" in the past.
9:36 Marty Golden running for re-election in a district that despises de Blasio and his leftist agenda. His opponents are fighting over who is more liberal and who will abolish ICE faster and provide drivers licenses to illegals. Both of them are to the left of Obama in a district that voted for Trump. Enough said.
950, who are you trying to convince, me or yourself?
Everybody knows that there are fewer Marty Golden voters every day, the papers have turned against him, and even some Republicans are openly in revolt.
Martys prime voter list is shrinking and when has he ever had a race where the democrats were united against him.
Paula Katinas has even taken shots at Marty. has he overstayed his welcome?
Is everybody talking about the same State Senator Marty Golden, whose first thought about American greatness was a comparison of different kinds of pizza?
golden's tweet 'america was always great' sounds like it was written by an idiot
putting 'pizza, brooklyn sky line, baseball teams, new york city, new york state, immigrants, and new york made america great' in one big melting pot twee that made no sense
Hey 7:41, you need some remedial math.
Marty ran in 1 City Council Primary, and 2 City Council General Elections.
He ran in 8 Senate General Elections (most of therm uncontested), and 1 Senate Primary.
Primaries and Generals are separate elections.
Guys the last time Golden had an opponent was four years ago and he was Justin’s candidate. The guy got 22% of the vote, Gounardes got 40 in a presidential election year when Republicans stayed home and Marty’s strongholds didn’t come out to vote because of the hurricane. Your chances of victory are about the same as Justin running the NYC marathon.
609, thanks for the math and research that I didn't want to bother to check on myself.
When I did my comments at 626 and 936 back at some other coomenter or commenters at 348 and 741, I didn't checkout the number of elections and primaries Marty had been in. I did suspect that 741's "eleven" might not be right, so that's why I put it in quotes in my comment at 936.
I also just noticed that my comment at 936 wrongly mentioned myself at "626" as the person being addressed in the comment. Sorry for that. My 936 comment should have been addressed to "358 & 741" and not "358 & 626". I'll try to be more careful from now on.
Has Craig Eaton popped his head up yet?? Or still in forced exile
Please, forget about trash talking Craig Eaton.
Golden's people are now making up numbers for Marty's past elections: 'Guys the last time Golden had an opponent was four years ago and he was Justin’s candidate. The guy got 22% of the vote'. That's wrong, ballotpedia says that Jamie Kemmerer, a 'throw-in' candidate by the Bay Ridge Dems, got 29.3% of the vote in 2014.
Morons of the far left you are being played by Justin Brannan. He is already making excuses for why you are going to get crushed on Election Day. In an epic meltdown, Brannan is now accusing Marty Golden staffers of threatening to firebomb his office. Of course he didn’t notify law enforcement he posted it on Twitter. These paranoid delusional fantasies from our Councilman are a cry for help.
I know of one person marty killed as an elected official. The old lady he ran over.
does anyone know how many people he killed as a cop?
Marty never shot anyone. He just ran them over.
Then Justin has nothing to worry about. Unless Marty is driving a bulldozer.
Y’all need to check out fat boy’s twitter page attacking constituents for questioning his crazy claims about Golden staffers.
I hear John Q in chopping block, Marty needs to do something drastic to reverse all bad news

SOMEBODY OVERTHERE THINKS THAT MAKING THIS A MARTY GOLDEN-JUSTIN BRANNAN FIGHT IS A GOOD IDEA --- WRONGO !!!!! JUSTIN BRANNAN'S NAME WILL NOT APPEAR ON THE BALLOT SHEETS IN NOVEMBER 2018
Marty is a candidate, trash talking about him and his campaign can score negative points; punching or even counter-punching Brannan doesn't get any of that benefit in 2018.
BTW, I fully credit Brannan's claim of a fire-bombing threat targeting his office. Marty Golden's folks are just beginning to feel what a competitive campaign is all about and they are losing it in very stur-range ways.
OMG --- I FEEL A STRANGE SONG COMING OVER ME.....

Marty loses
Saperstein loses, although he does get a couple of write in votes in Queens where the interns and Denaro had him going door to door by mistake
Galewynn you’ve got it a little backwards. It’s Brannan trying to pick a fight with Golden and it’s backfiring big time. But Brannan has no choice, after Treyger humiliated him in Southwest Brooklyn and to all local politicos around, he had to try to sell his horse shit that he was taking a backseat for the good of the party. All the embarrassment and the constant mocking over the Treyger smackdown has made him lose his mind. Brannan is a joke and he best understand that while Golden don’t think much of him he hits a lot harder than Treyger so let him keep poking.

TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 1:58 PM"
JUST A WEE BIT OF ONE LINE AND YOU LOST ALL CREDIBILITY.....
This is a joke, right ? >>> "Golden ... hits a lot harder than Treyger..."
Are you talking about the Marty Golden who never did quite take out Arnaldo Ferraro, Lucretia Regina-Potter and the old Fiorello LaGuardia Club after umpteen years of trying ?
Are you talking about the same Marty Golden that still has Craig Eaton biting at his ankles at every opportunity, ever since Golden split with Eaton and then failed to take Eaton out as GOP County Leader in 2013 --- in epic-fail fashion ???
Are you talking about the same Marty Golden personally, who can't get all the kings horses and all the kings men at the Brooklyn BOE to generate enough signatures to avoid Golden's needing to buy his way on to the GOP line to run for re-election; and who's hand-picked County Chairman, handpicked Brooklyn GOP Election Commissioner and at least one recently appointed BOE executive officer formerly on Marty's staff can't seem to help with that either ?????
Or might you mean the very Marty Golden who tried to weaponize the 3rd Avenue Stroll for political purposes and was one-upped at every turn by FBBR in the last few weeks ??????
I could go on, but I'm wearing out my "?" key.....
I’m talking about the Golden who constantly wins re-election by huge margins. I notice in your your post you’re propping up people who are your regular sources. Arnaldo and Lucretia? Really dude? Really? Lucretia’s not even a district leader any more. Craig Eaton just happened to have a multibillionaire and half the county GOP backing him and he still had to give up the Chair. One upped by FBBR? Brannan had to come out on Facebook and disavow them. Golden’s not losing GM, and when the smoke clears Brannan’s own sycophants are going to turn on him faster than he downs a cream puff.
You dont stop somebody with nobody. Arnaldo & Lucretia and whoever this guy Eaton is wont matter.
RESPONSE: THE "SINCE YOU INSIST" EDITION
TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 4:10 PM" & "... AT 4:15 PM"
STILL PUSHING OLD CHESTNUTS !!! NOT THE WEATHER FOR IT --- I AIN'T BUYING AND NEITHER SHOULD ANYBODY ELSE.....
ARNALDO, LUCRETIA & EATON MADE STRANGE BEDFELLOWS AND THAT TROICA FELL OF ITS OWN WEIGHT A WHILE BACK --- WHY WOULD I TRY TO PROP THEM UP --- THEY CAN STAND OR FALL ON THEIR OWN.....
AS FOR MY SOURCES, RIGHT NOW YOU AREN'T CLOSE --- AND BACK THEN, I WILL NEITHER CONFIRM NOR DENY ANYTHING ABOUT CRAIG, ARNALDO OR LUCRETIA.....
The original proposition was whether "Golden ... hits a lot harder than Treyger..."
So let's see, hmmmm !!! No politician can hit very hard when he has to hide behind all kinds of barriers and blinds from his constituents and the media..... For example, he doesn't respond to inquiries about the speed-cameras either by constituents, parents groups, fellow office holders or the local and city-wide press. His staff addresses or doesn't address the issue in ways that are laughable; and their evasions only dig the hole(s) deeper.
As for the staff: individually, most neither care about nor respect the man himself. I remember a long-time Golden confidante saying not very long ago, "You can always tell an old cop, but you can't tell him very much.... Marty thinks that he has seen it all and so he knows it all; but what he doesn't know is that he never stops being a meat-headed mook, who doesn't understand half of what he is being told about anything...."
Now, here's the killer, no Republican state senator can hit very hard when the intra-party GOP foundation under his seat is cracked wide open. Marty Golden never won a contested election for state senator without the active support of his former hand picked GOP County Leader Craig Eaton, which went much further back than when Eaton became the Republican County Chair.
BTW, somebody needs to ask Craig Eaton if he thinks Marty Golden is a hard hitter; he just might refer you to Bob Capano for his take on the question.....
Treyger and Denaro twitter war right now is pretty GOLDEN..pun intended
Eaton?
Gale
Really ? Eaton biting at Marty's ankles at every opportunity? Please provide one public statement , a link of Eaton saying anythinf negative about Golden in this race...you can't because Cats is supporting Golden and told Eaton to sit down and shut up..
Gale- one link???????????
But Marty always wins.
Gale you are conflating Eaton with Brannan. Eaton went toe to toe with Golden and his entire crew and lost—albeit respectably and with his dignity intact. Brannan is a joke who at this very moment is asking constituents to verify their addresses on Twitter as he hurls insults at them. Treyger exposed the joke that is Brannan.
Eaton went toe to toe with Golden and got pushed to the side. If that was the best shot you guys took at Marty then I guess 2020 will be another cakewalk.
8:54 My boy the way Team Golden is bumbling his campaign you all should worry about 2018 before even dreaming about anything after that.
Two things:
1. I've heard Craig Eaton say that he wanted to take Marty Golden down many times since Golden ambushed Eaton in the press early in 2013; and I know that John Catsimatidis never told Eaton to sit down and shut up about Marty Golden.
2. The people that are saying 'Marty always wins' in their comments on this blog are wrong. State Senator Martin J. Golden lost at the 2013 Brooklyn Republican Convention when he tried to unseat Craig Eaton. Eaton was re-elected Kings County Republican Chairman over the failed opposition of Marty Golden, whose thugs tried to hijack the convention. At the 2013 convention Golden failed to properly collect enough valid proxies to effect the outcome. Will Bredderman's coverage of the story is in the October 2, 2013 'Brooklyn Daily' section of the Courier.
10;46 has left out one detail. Golden won.
Golden beat Eaton again by getting Cats to keep Eaton quiet for his re election race..everyone knows Eaton can't stand Golden...still waiting for one example=link of Eaton "biting at Marty's ankles" this election year???
"biting at martys ankles" is about all bob will accomplish.
Craig and Bob have been and will be Marty's worst nightmare come election day
Another few punches at the Golden side:
1. The person who made the comment at 12:11 am is wrong. IN 2013, Golden went into court and lost there too; and then Golden again lost to Eaton at the 2015 Brooklyn GOP Convention when Arnaldo Ferraro, Golden's longtime gadfly, became the GOP County Chairman with Eaton's support.
2. Eaton took a bite out of one of Marty's ankles earlier this year when he blocked Ghorra from being the New York City Vice Chairman of the state Republican party, and then arranged for Andrea Catsimatidis to get that spot.
3. QED: Golden can't punch very hard inside his own party.
6:51, you left out that Craig Eaton still can punch very hard inside the Republican Party.
Starting in September, there will be a new political 'joint venture' of some sort with Eaton, Capano and some other Republicans, with maybe even a few Democrats in the mix.
I'm sure they'll have something to say about Marty going back to Albany in 2019 as something other than a state senator.
Anon at 5:08. In order to "beat Eaton again", Golden would have had to "beat" Eaton once before....and that never happened.
I was a part of the GOP in 2013-2015 and know the facts quite well..
You see Eaton and Golden had several bouts, but Eaton won all of them:
a) in 2013 Golden tried to beat Eaton with Tim "Hot Dog" Cochrane. Cochrane lost miserably, even after Golden threatened all the BOE workers with their jobs. Then Cochrane ran for the hills and moved out of Brooklyn;
b) Golden then sued to get Cochrane in and the case was tossed out of Court;
c) in 2015, after suffering many personal tragedies in 2013 and 2014 Eaton decided not to run again and brilliantly orchestrated a scenario where Ferraro (who Golden and fat boy Kassar cut a deal with for him to be their 1st Vice Chair) would become Chair-this caught everyone off guard and spun their heads;
d) Golden then sued to get Ted "Toupee" Ghorra in and the Court disagreed after one year of hearings and deliberation- a new Convention was illegally set by the NYS Chair and Ghorra won without any opposition because by this time there was no GOP left in Brooklyn and nobody wanted to be Chair;
e) Eaton left in 2015 on his own terms and seriously embarrassed Golden in the process.
So 5:08, please, please, please tell me when Golden beat Eaton, because it never ever happened.
These are the true facts. Believe them or not but they are the facts.
Read them and weep Golden and his delusional followers.
Is Golden staffer, Marko Kepi, a deep-cover mole sent from far far away to make us lose faith in the American way? His murky world of social media accounts is a wonder to behold.
Speaking of the non-existent Brooklyn GOP is Ghorra still around or has he left town?
I hear from a lot of leaders that there are no meetings, no events, no emails, nada, zilch, nothing happening. And this is a year of Senate, Assembly and Statewide races.
Where could he be hiding? Under _____?
He needs to go and I hear that even the Brooklyn YR's and others are looking to run candidates against him in 2019.
TG call home, all is forgiven.
Belay my last!
TG call home, anyway.
Ghorra is running something like 7 candidates out of the 30 or more he should be fielding this year. And that includes Uncle Marty.
blah blah blah
Marty will be re-elected. Ghorra is chair. Bob will drink beer on the subway.
YRs? There are almost no Brooklyn YR’s. They don’t event have 30 members in a county of three million. And even they are controlled by Jerry and Liam. They had an election for President and 20 people voted. It’s like a mini version of the KCCP.
Whether Marty gets re-elected or not, Alexandra and Robert still didn't get the jobs they were promised, they're still losers who have to shlep all the way from the Upper East Side to Brooklyn and Staten Island to collect signatures.
Bob and Congressman Donovan indeed had a few beers celebrating Donovans big win, especially in bklyn over Liam & company
Ahaha
7:48 is fake news. Stop spreading lies. No one is going against Ghorra, who is by the way doing more than anyone ever did during Eaton’s time. Stop spreading false information, it’s getting annoying.
Ghorra reign has been a joke he may as well name Jerry and Liam as the real leadership. There is no Brooklyn GOP there is no Brooklyn YR club. It's a couple of friends of Brandon and Batya getting together once in a while to take Facebook pictures. And the best part is MG team already scapegoating Ghorra. He's probably going to be the last one to know.
Ghorra is the Chair out there, meanwhile has anyone seen Craig in public, any links to him saying anythinf about Brooklyn Politics this year..Marty clearly ostracized him with the Brooklyn, NYC, and NYS GOP
HE IS BLACK LISTED
1 link????????
Are you implying that Marty Golden influenced Marky-mark Zuckerberg to black list Craig from Facebook? Next you'll be telling us that "Zuck" has endorsed Marty.
The only one who doesn't seem to know that he was a two year stop gap measure is Teddy. Even most of Craig's detractors will now admit he left on top in epic fashion. He blew it all up and walked away.
Golden never wanted there to be a bench of young gun Republican candidates in Bay Ridge. Just take look at Quaglione who has been hung out to dry twice now. Whether Golden loses to Gounades or retires after the Republicans loose the majority, once Golden goes away so does his entourage. No matter how you look at Golden's crew, there days are all numbered. Thats why they are acting like this and loosing their cool at the street festivals
12:05 has it really been a joke as you say? Is that why for the first time in years we have a chairman who is actually helping Brooklyn candidates? Is that why there are dozens of strong clubs many of them which consist of young people that are actively involved in the local campaigns? Brandon and Batya have been doing more for the gop under the leadership of Ghorra than any youngsters ever got done under Craig Meaton’s reign- bout time you shut up about Ghorra and get a life.
2:34 must be from out of state or something. There aren't a dozen young Republicans let alone clubs.Brandon almost got kicked out of his own club for inactivity and the much vaunted teen Republican club picture has people in their thirties and forties. That's just messed up. Ghorra is running about five candidates in the entire county. You're right about one thing it's not a joke it's a disgrace.
GHORRA FOR MAYOR 2021
What?
Ghorra for Hair Club President now !!!!
Funny. I saw him at a dinner after the NYS GOP Convention and everyone was saying what a "sweaty mess" he was. It was hot and humid and he was sweating under his...oh, well. Lets just say it wasnt a good sight
1:26 PM makes a good point. Marty Golden is like Howard Stern. Once he's gone all of his cronies will be out of work and unemployable. Quaglione is Baba Booey
As the Chariman Emeritus Craig Eaton entertains family and friends on his yacht off Hilton Head Island, John Quaglione sits alone in his 2003 Toyota with the windows closed smoking a cheap cigar
As Craig Eatons crowd of has beens, like himself at his Jersey Party gets smaller and smaller , Quaglione continues to do the people's business and being the main person for NYC's most powerful state senator.
By the way, according to Eatons Facebook photos , no sign of John Cats at Eatons party, yet another slap to Craig . Meanwhile the Golden team are talking to John and Andrea Cats regularly about the campaign while Eaton is boxed out.

The only kind of communicating the Golden Campaign does with Cats is profuse sweat and trepidation that Cats will get involved against Golden as payback for the nasty smear campaign Jerry ran against Cats in his mayoral campaign.
723
Please get a reality check with the same tores argument about Cats getting involved against Golden.
Cats endorsed Golden and make that clear in that embarrassing email he sent out to several including Marty himself saying despite what Craig may say, he is with Golden .
Andrea Cats is chair of the Manhattan GOP and has made her support clear in many social media posts ..
John Cats himself said Marty was mentoring his daughter for Christs sake..it is embarrassing to Craig that the Golden camp is speaking to John and Andrea while Craig is boxed out of the race.
Craig can't endorse Marty because everyone knows he hates him, Craig can't endorse Ross or Andrew because Cats w ont let him...Golden totally neutralized him..another "win"
Gale
Show some neutrality, admit that Eaton has been boxed out in his home state Senate race by Golden and Cats
Just answer this one single question with yes or no, Has Eaton endorsed anyone in the 22nd State Senate District race in Brooklyn?
Yes or no
To the dullard who keeps posting at 7:36 and 8:06. Do you not get embarrassed just posting what you’re told? Cats never endorsed Golden. Andrea is a smart young dynamic party chair who has already butted heads with Jerry puppet Ghorra. Ask your masters what happened with that episode. That email you keep mentioning is hilarious. They won’t even tell you what was in it. Oh and if you need any more proof about Cats “close” relationship with Golden just look at how many times Golden has been on Cats radio show...zero. Cats will stay neutral but it’s awesome to see you guys sweating more profusely than Rosie O’Donnell in a sauna at the prospect of Cats getting involved in this race, since just a couple of years ago you were bragging that he was done in politics.
Wait are you saying that John and Andrea Cats did not endorse Golden??
If there is a public tweet or statement from each of them next week, which can be arranged , then what will you say???????
Granted a public tweet from John Cats saying Marty is "mentoring" his daughter and the Cats email should be enough...but if a public post/statement from them will prove it once and for all, fine.
The call will be made today to John Cats saying Eaton going around saying John did not endorse Golden ...
Craig will be even more ostracized by Cats and will be totally embarrassed when John endorses Golden publicly again...then what will 826 (or Eaton) say???? Even Gale will then have to admit it
One link of anyone who opposed Eaton , or anyone for that matter who said Eaton much better Chair ???
All heresay and Eaton wishful thinking until proof....
Anyone who is involved with Brooklyn GOP knows well dissatisfaction with Ghorra. Unless you’re a pencil pusher at BOE it part of KCCO posting whatever you’re told.
Prove it??
One link
If there is all this supposed dissatisfaction with Ghorra according to Eaton, maybe he should lead a press conference with these dissatisfied district leaders calling for change and action, then there would be proof...until then, just banter and wishful thinking
The only one still openly supporting Ghorra is Jerry who will defend his puppet as much as he can. Even Golden has given up the charade. Ted’s going to be the last one to know.
943
I haven't seen at Republican dostfi,y leaders oppose Ghorra??
1 link of any of them saying anything negative..??
9:27 and 9:43 are delusional.
Nobody said here that Eaton is dissatisfied with Ghorra. Quite frankly I dont think Eaton really gives a damn what happens in the Brooklyn GOP these days. he left at the top and it has all sunk since then.
Does anyone really care about the Brooklyn GOP or what Ghorra is or is not doing?

That will be very interesting.
As for your response, I did not admit to anything. I merely said that they will endorse Golden because they are republicans and hold positions in the party.
As for Craig endorsing, he would be a fool to endorse Golden and I have told him many times that he could never even think of it.

I'VE READ THE BACK AND FORTH ABOUT WHETHER JOHN AND/OR ANDREA CATSIMATIDIS "ENDORSED" MARTY GOLDEN --- IT'S PRETTY CLEAR THAT THEY HAVE NOT..... ON THE OTHER HAND, SOMEBODY SAID THAT ONE CALL WILL LEAD TO THAT/THOSE FORMAL ENDORSEMENT(S) BEING MADE --- OK, FINE BY ME.....
Nothing more needs to be said about Cats' and Andrea's endorsing Marty G., unless and until that day comes.....
BTW, I'll delete any further mention of it; and any talk of boxing-in Eaton because of it, as well.....
Gail, way to keep it fresh. That Catsimatidis-Golden endorsement jazz was so old that Dagwood told it to Blondie.
I don't understand why Marty G left so much on the table
Why not fight for the Reform and Independence lines? This ain't 2006 anymore. Marty is not invincible anymore. Andrew was a no-name punk in 2012 when he beat Marty G in Bayridge.
Maybe Marty just wants to ride off into the sunset. Thats what I keep hearing
Andrew won Bay Ridge last time barely because it was a Presidential year and Marty’s operatives kept telling people they would beat him by fifty points and people felt sorry for him. Entirely different situation this time around. Golden not holding anything back will outspend 10-1 if necessary.
I hear Chairman Ghorra spoke to John Cats earlier..Cats not happy with what he was told about Eaton blogging here
2:22 is either an exceptionally low IQ fool and or completely out of the loop. After what Ghorra pulled with the congressional candidate against Andrea, Ghorra is the last person Cats would take a call from. Not that he was closer than last before that.
I feel bad for Eaton..he is alone on an island in this Senate race..Marty making him look foolish..
Can someone explain why Charlie Ragusa is funneling cash to Jumanji Williams, Cynthia Nixon and Zepher Teachout? Were these donations sanctioned by Mark Treyger and Bill Colton?
Andrea is smart? And dynamic? Huh??
