Bronx Political Machine?
Here is a great posting by Jordan Moss at the Bronx News Network about whether the "Bronx political machine" is relevant anymore. Bronx County boss Carl Heastie stayed out of the Espada race and focused on defeating Assemblyman Nelson Castro (who won) so Jordan asks "what, if anything, they accomplished last night" and "what happened to their mojo and focus"

Yes, we should question those whose endorsements do nothing for their candidates. That might hit a little to close to home around these parts, however.
ReplyDeleteSenator-Elect Levine, amirite?
What defeated the Bronx Political Machine in the Castro race was a well organized and executed strategy. I volunteered on the Castro campaign, and they were able to keep us focused on our goals. On election day they knew how to pull out the vote. The Bronx establishment pulled out all stops in that race and on the day of election numerous ethical boundaries were crossed, but the Castro team stayed focused on the goals and won against all odds.
ReplyDeleteDon't leave us hanging anonymous--regale us with some of the tactics that crossed those ethical boundaries -- Bronx establishment should answer for them.
ReplyDeleteThere is going to be more ferocious infighting among the Bronx County Dems. Get ready!
