Spada, Sottile, Hinchey, Ward Todd (and anyone with any connection to the jail) want Bratley in so that he can give them a free pass for all their graft and corruption. If the DA knew it wouldn't make a difference because there is no second term, maybe (s)he wouldn't be so quick to either turn a blind eye or, as in Nifong's case, be overzealous with re-election in mind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23643028.post-86464020543594867092007-11-05T07:24:00.000-05:002007-11-05T07:24:00.000-05:00Spitzer would have appointed the smartest person h...Spitzer would have appointed the smartest person he could find. Since it is scientifically proven that "liberal" equates to intelligent,and "conservative" equates to mentally deficient,the choice would obviously have been a liberal. Jon was the most intelligent candidate, and by scientific study, is the most"liberal." I don't think that the "flat-earthers" are going to be running very well in either party soon.

And though it certainly is a poor reason to vote for someone, understand that they (Schumer, Clinton and Spitzer) may take it as a slight if Jon doesn't win. They may not care, either - but if they do, we may not be first in line for any spoils. Ulster County isn't exactly thriving - we could use all the help we can get. Right now Hinchey, Cahill, Bonacic and Larkin aren't doing much to help our fledgling economy.

These people owe their careers to the most ethical supporters they have and and will certainly not pull a "Bradley" on our county. This county is not expected to deliver. Rather,it is expected to push forward against corrupt political machines. They have been identified and will not withstand the scrutiny going forward. The DA race is insignificant to the progress in outing the crooks. Jon will survive,even if he has to wait a little while for an appointment.

The candidates articulate their stances (to the committees and unions) and then the endorsers discuss and vote. I can't tell you whether or not they consider who's the front runner (though I know that's why Kingston wanted Bradley - they said he was electable) or who can do what for them. It would all depend upon the group and its mission. As far as elected officials go, they're not going to risk their political career for someone they think is of poor character. Bradley and Sennett (and Schreibman) went to the town and city committees seeking their endorsements - I wouldn't call them "fringe people". As far as getting the elected officials' endorsements, the candidates' campaign managers or pr people send the appropriate material and it is reviewed before agreeing to endorse. Though you scorn that they have to ask for an endorsement, as a poster wrote a few weeks ago, it would be really ballsy for someone to endorse a candidate without being asked. What if someone endorsed you and you didn't want their endorsement because you didn't agree with them? What if you're a liberal Dem and the NRA endorses you? You have to ask for their endorsement, so get it through your dense head.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23643028.post-15740699563890254602007-11-04T10:02:00.000-05:002007-11-04T10:02:00.000-05:00The so-called town endorsements for bradley were b...The so-called town endorsements for bradley were bullshit to begin with. especially kingston, wawrsing and Ulster, where the boys ganged up packed the committees with their boys to force a vote for bradley. <BR/><BR/>It was sickening because no body wanted bradley.

A town committee's endorsement (of a county-wide candidate) is rendered meaningless after the county convention (it's actually meaningless before the convention, too - it's like a non-binding resolution). A town could certainly confirm its endorsement if it is in agreement with the county but it's not a nomination so it's pointless. Once the county nominates a candidate, that's the only endorsement that counts. And, by the way, if we should be unlucky enough to have Bratley win, he won't be considered a Democrat; Ulster County will have a Conservative District Attorney which will make us look like we're in a red state like Missouri or Alabama. It's not his enrollment, it's the party that ran the candidate that counts. Also, if Ulster County doesn't deliver Jonathan Sennett to Schumer, Clinton, and Spitzer, that's a huge "f--k you" to them; they're not going to be in too much of a hurry to help us out should we need any grants, economic development, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23643028.post-15807027570479514292007-11-03T23:09:00.000-04:002007-11-03T23:09:00.000-04:00Bradley has burned his bridges in Ulster County an...Bradley has burned his bridges in Ulster County and in Manhattan by running such a shady race.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23643028.post-38202096095352660272007-11-03T20:23:00.000-04:002007-11-03T20:23:00.000-04:009:36 and 2:34 - you are absolutely 100% Wrong on t...9:36 and 2:34 - you are absolutely 100% Wrong on this issue.
