Boy those “Republican Insiders” they love to talk and talk and talk to Crains Chris Bragg
I guess thats what an “INSIDER: does, calls up a reporter and talks and talks and talks
Well as of 8pm Monday night Lhota was in it to win it and he welcomed Cas to the race.
He was speaking at the Brownstone Republican Club.
The Club meeting took place at Sam’s Restaurant on Court Street Brooklyn
They served Pizza and it was “GREAT” they make a great pie.
Rob Ryan was also there “Keeping an eye” on things.
For now “Everyone” is running and making the rounds.
Things will heat up when it is time to start getting the “Petitions” and what Deals” will be cut.
I to look forward to see Cas on the campaign trail and giving him a pair of “Happy Socks”
Tom Allion and Joe Lhota all ready have there’s
I also look forward to meeting all those “INSIDERS” who have the PRess on speed dial.
Before there was the “Oracle of Delphi” there was Count Vampire J. Machiavelli
