Reform Party Smack Down on Sen. Golden
Marty Golden talked about the Reform Party backing him in front of his supporters. He mentioned the Reform Party as if it was A DONE DEAL. Truthfully, my eyes rolled….but I still held out hope.
And then it happened……..SMACKKKKKKKKKKKK. Marty Golden didn’t receive an endorsement from the Reform Party!! It was the SMACKK-KK-K that rippled through the community both online and off. Even people just mildly interested in politics were following this!
Not only had the Reform Party not handed the endorsement to Marty, they offered to let Golden face off against Andrew Gounardes in a primary election for their endorsement. LOL! We can imagine Bob Capano slyly smiling…..Bob had what Golden wanted. Bob couldn’t be bought. That also makes him an important player here.
People were whispering: What if Senator Golden loses? OHHHHH YEAH those are sweet, sweet words. (Read that sentence again in a whisper).
UPDATE: SENATOR GOLDEN REFUSED THE OFFER TO PRIMARY ANDREW GOUNARDES. (Wait Paula Katinas wrote an article that didn’t praise Senator Golden – What the heck is going on? Is it my birthday?) WOOHOOOO!
Senator Golden has exposed his #NotSoGolden side this year. Many of his former loyal followers aren’t so loyal now that they know the truth. There was this, this, this and this.
In regular non-political terms: Bob Capano received no support from Marty Golden in his run for office last Fall. Marty pushed the losing campaign of John Quaglione. The Conservative Party was less than cordial to Capano (just downright nasty). Now that Capano is the Chairman of the Reform Party, the Conservatives are trying to downplay his influence. But no one can deny that Capano played a role – maybe even a deciding role in the last election.
Actually some people believe that this smackdow may have been building up since the 2013 election when Senator Golden supported the losing campaign of Joe Lhota for mayor over Capano’s ally, John Catsimatidis. If you don’t know who John Cats is, he is the billionaire who is building high-rises all over the city like it’s a game of Monopoly.
Anyway, the political chitchat is everyone knows that the Reform Party matters now….those claiming it don’t are the most afraid.
