Apart from a little chatter on behalf of a few unworthy prospective Republican "candidates" for the NYS Senate seat formerly held by Marty Golden, there has been no push to unseat first term Democrat State Senator Andrew Gounardes --- Compare that to a similar period in the 2018 election cycle and what the Democrats were doing to rev up their campaign to unseat State Senator Martin Golden
When it comes to the State Senate, Brooklyn Republicans and Conservatives seem completely enervated when it comes to any attempt to succeed and flourish in the PMG (Post-Marty Golden) era
In fact, so far, the only real GOP-Conservative Party news that has come out with respect to any prospective candidate(s) in the 22nd State Senate District is that Marty Golden won't be in the mix for 2020 --- And all of the names that have been mentioned as "in the mix" are more farcical than fanciful
If there are any Republicans out there interested in showing some life in the local elections in 2020, I can suggest one possible state senate candidate that stands out above all the rest --- somebody like Andrew Gounardes, who had run in the district before and has some real street cred..... That prospective candidate would be >>> ROSS BARKAN <<<
The Republicans and Conservatives have done it before --- both of the two prior Republican State Senators from the district(s) including Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights were former Democrats, as were some prior members of the assembly from the same area; and they endorsed an unopposed Democrat State Senator in an adjoining district.....
Somebody like Barkan would be a chance for a new start for a Republican Party that has become no more than a badly infected appendix to the Brooklyn Conservatives.
If the Brooklyn GOP and the Conservatives don't attempt something as dynamic as that, whoever their candidate might be will struggle to even attain the status of a respectable "also ran".....
GM nothing more farcical than suggesting Ross Barkan run for anything let alone as a Republican.
ReplyDeleteNothing about Barkan's race made any sense. That he came as close as he did with an amateur operation is more of a statement about today's Democratic party than anything else.
ReplyDeleteGail, you are back and going strong as ever.
ReplyDeleteIn just one post you managed to piss off Liam McCabe, John Quaglione, Bob Capano, Jerry Kassar, Marty Golden, Craig Eaton, the rest of the Brooklyn GOP peanut gallery on the sidelines. Andrew Gounardes, Justin Brannan, Chris McCreight, Stephen Witt, and the whole staff of the Home Reporter. I'll bet that Ross Barkan didn't like it either.
Keep up the good work.
What happened to the office Barkan was supposed to keep open to keep the revolution going? They had a few bake sales and swap meets and then it fizzled out.
ReplyDeleteBarkan as a Republican/Conservative is out of the question.
ReplyDeleteBesides Liam has an announcement coming out next week.
Is Liam a Republican/Conservative? Will he be announcing that?
ReplyDeleteSomebody told me Liam has already booked the Lief for his campaign announcement. He also booked it for his Election Night concession speech. They gave him a good price because he booked them at the same time
ReplyDeleteThe Lief isnt big enough for Liams event.
ReplyDeleteGo Liam Go !!!
ReplyDeleteLiam McCabe is unstable, irresponsible, and thoroughly unsuitable as a bona fide Republican candidate for the New York State Senate.
ReplyDeleteLiam has never proved that he can beat fellow Republican John Quaglione in a Republican Primary, much lees incumbent Democrat State Senator Andrew Gounardes in a November election.
Well Quag has retired from politics. The torch has been passed.
ReplyDeleteWhich end of the torch did Quags pass to Liam? If it were like a baton pass in a track meet, it would have been a disqualifying bad pass.
ReplyDeleteThere is one big difference between JQ and McCabe, Quaglione is fundamentally fit to be a candidate and Liam is not.
The Leif isnt big enough for Liam concession speech. there won't be a "dry" eye in the house.
ReplyDeleteQ never got arrested, doesn't live at his mother in laws house, never got fired by a councilman for pissing on his govt office carpet while drunk, never got suspended from his job at a Congressmans office for being arrested for assault..shall we go on.
ReplyDeleteThere are many compelling reasons why not to vote for Liam McCabe, can anybody give a single compelling reason to vote for him?
ReplyDeleteIs he really doing the same Lief routine as 2017? If so, then add invincible ignorance to all of the other reasons why not to vote for Liam.
Do we have hear his phony railroad story about his dad again?
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: THE "JUST WHEN I THOUGHT THINGS WERE GETTING BETTER FOR JQ, HE BRINGS UP TOUCHING AND CHILDREN" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO ALL THE FOLKS ABOVE DUMPING ON LIAM MC CABE
>>> DON'T FORGET ONE OF THE ALTERNATIVES TO LIAM IS JOHN QUAGLIONE <<<
You can always count on PR expert John Quaglione to do all the negative PR on himself and whomever he is working for that any cynical blogger like myself can grab up as low hanging fruit.
Yesterday, John retweeted another gem from the Diocesan Press Office --- this one about something called "The Tablet Jr".....
OMG !!! --- When you are in the middle of a complete meltdown caused by a pedophile crisis and your Bishop is being investigated for pedophilia by the local Cardinal under orders of the Pope >>> DON'T, I REPEAT DON'T <<< DO ANY SOCIAL MEDIA POSTING ABOUT A NEW CATHOLIC PROGRAM TARGETING CHILDREN AND REPEATEDLY USING THE WORD AND CONVEYING THE IMAGE OF "TOUCH"
Just another in a long line of "Fredo moments" for JQ.
John Q is playing the fiddle while the Vatican burns. Q couldn't be more clueless if he tried. No wonder they brought in a public relations professional to deal with the Nicky Marz charges. All Q is allowed to do is Retweet stuff and read the tabloids and get outraged about graffiti on the r train
ReplyDeleteQuaglione 2020
ReplyDelete"He closed OLA and shielded pedophiles"
It has a ring !!
Golden is no fan of Liam, could this be why Golden met with Capano???
ReplyDeleteDoes anybody on this blog support GOP candidates?
ReplyDeleteWhere is Ross Barkan you ask. Ross is probably meditating in a yoga class with a bowl of whole grains. You know the type of shit Euell Gibbons ate before he took the last train to Clarksville.
ReplyDeleteJohn Q is really more like Luca
ReplyDeleteLiam 2020
ReplyDeleteLiam always wins.
ReplyDeleteWhy would anyone waste time with capano
ReplyDelete204, have you been using mind altering drugs like LSD, because you are being so much more than a '... daydream believer and a homecoming queen...' right now.
ReplyDeleteWhile Capano and Golden met and made amends there is no way Golden will back him for Senate
ReplyDeleteHey folks, wake up. That sit-down was very much less about Capano and Golden than about somebody else.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm, I wonder who that might be?
555
ReplyDeleteDo tell??
628, hmmmmm, 'Do tell??' seems like it might be a tell by somebody who knows.
ReplyDeleteWhile John Q plays with house money, Liam is revising his speech about his dad by the ye ole railroad trestle for his big launch party at The Lief.
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm! David Storobin's been very quiet, too quiet.

ReplyDeleteHas anyone heard the story about Liam and his escapades in Mozambique, officially the Republic of Mozambique? That and lots more will all come to light when he's running to loose a Senate Race.
ReplyDeleteI hear the press clippings of Liams escapades are about to be sent to reporters
ReplyDeleteOnce Andy Boy gets a new sign for his office, Liam will have nothing to run on.
