Less than 48 hours after the polls closed we have one of the most ridiculous post election comments ever, by none other than Democratic Chairman Julian Schreibman. In today's Kingston Freeman he asses the Comptroller's election results and says "what we have is essentially a tie". No Julian, you have a 7000 voter enrollment edge, you had super popular President-Elect Obama, more popular Maurice Hinchey, and Kevin Cahill leading the ticket. Plus, most Republicans despise their current leader George Bush. If you think your Comptroller candidate being 600 votes behind is "essentially a tie" then I feel sorry for the Democratic Party in Ulster County.
Jim Quigly's now probable victory opens the door for Republicans in the next election and many more. It was a lost opportunity for Democrats. Not only do Republicans have confidence in getting out the vote and winning. Quigly will make a name for himself on Fair Street and is able to finance any other office he desires. A loss for Auerbach will have a lasting effect in Ulster County politics.
Stupid comments from Schreibman don't help.

You are exaactly right. This is a complete embarassment for the democrats. There is no reason to lose any race tis year with the advantage and the Obama factor. Schreibman showed a complete lack of leadership and the party abandoned their guy. He raised no money and Blaber ran his campaign. Nuff said
Dems wanted independence. You don't get it.
Will the Parete's stop whinning. They wouldn't give Julian the time of day. Only Rob showed up for the Victory Party.
They cost us the DA race and they're complaining!!
Julian took over with 5 weeks left. It was the Parete show.

let me get this straight. Schreibman and his people have spent the last year calling the Parete's everything from bad democrats to unethical.He challenged the sitting, successful, chairman by saying the Democratic gains of the last few years are due to voter enrollment mainly(in his campaign flier). And now they complain that he wasn't at thier party? Are you kidding me? Time to come back from Manhatten, get out from behind the computer screen, stop sending annoying emails, and start showing himself as the chairmen he braggs he is.
aurbach may well win this race, but with zero help from the Schreibmans. While Quigly spent and attacked, the chairmen was hiding. Hopefully he learned a lesson, that enrollement without issues and good candidates means nothing. A useless chairmen doesn't help.
