A convention run by an Idiot

Tonight's Democratic Convention was one for the ages. Rookie Democratic Chairman Julian Schreibman face's a revolt that threatens his chairmanship. I was stunned as I sat and observed what an awful job he did. Schreibman told County Judge candidates that rank and file committee members would not be involved in the decision making process, instead he would hand pick a committee to make a recomendation to Governor Patterson. He opens up the convention by saying that the executive committee voted 9-0 to allow him to decide who was going to get the nod and stated it would be Jonathan Katz. Scarry Terry Rosenbloom, a Schreibman ali then stood up and nominated Deborah Schneer. What insued was total kaos. Governor Patterson nominated Katz today and then Schneer won a razor thin vote on the 2nd round. So now we have Katz a sitting County Judge (assuming he doesn't decline the Governors nomination) and Schneer the party's nominee. What the fuck? The worst part of tonight for Democrats is that Don Williams will now be assured election to County Judge. Katz and Schneer, primary or not will tear the party apart. Julians back room dealmaking has been slammed in editorials throughout the hudson valley, this will have a lasting impact in races throughout the county.

I saw one other unprecedented endorsement tonight. Longtime legislator Sue Cummings retired from the legislature and the Democrats had no one to endorse so they cross endorsed a Republican. What the fuck! An open seat and asshole Schreibman can't find a candidate.

District 8 Republicans are in turmoil after Noonan's ousting and again NO candidates from Schreibman. What the fuck has this guy been doing? Does he know what his job is?

After tonights convention I can only say that Schreibman is supporting Republicans to win in 09 or he's a complete ass who has no clue what he's doing. Republican's are in terrific shape after tonight. Expect them to be energized and win some important seats this year.
