No Retreat Baby, No Surrender
Primary Day: The Left, Over
* "A Victory For Ideas" I guess, but certainly a devastating blow for blogger endorsement potential. Rasiej got just 5%??? Shit, *I* could have done better than that with a bullhorn and a truckload of Red Bull. So much for covering the city with a wi-fi blanket before winter.
* NYTimes reports low turnout in a city-wide primary day shocker and I can personally attest that the voting at the Anna Silver School on Essex and Stanton was rather light, even see-through, at 8pm. As the only person in the gym who wasn't a volunteer or cop, I have to admit I was rather moved when no less than five people thanked me on the way out.
* YM Team Party Crash of the Anthony Weiner Election Night Party:
"Malcolm Gladwell was the only recognizable face...Weiner entered with Bruce Springsteen background music...'famous' girlfriend Gigi Stone was nowhere to be found...some guy from the NY Sun hit on me...and someone stole my shoes when I went dancing!! Fuck those Democrats!" Submitted by R.
* Joe Klecko, former New York Jets all-pro star and Cannonball Run small-role star, ran over and killed a homeless man on the Major Deegan the other night?!! Granted this isn't politically or even criminally connected but holy shit, where was the coverage on Gothamist or Deadspin??
