With petition work due to begin tomorrow, I wonder whether there will be a GOP primary as promised between poitical newcomer Kellie Greene of Sackets Harbor and Watertown's Matt Doheny. Mr. Doheny obviously is well organized and funded and has been pursuing an "aura of inevitability" campaign by rolling out endorsements.
Ms. Greene now hints via Facebook at an independent campaign even though she had pledged a Republican primary. The minor party lines are already in the bag for Mr. Doheny.
I was chatting with a very active right-to-life Republican at the Irish Fest who says she likes Ms.Greene's candidacy but knows nothing about her petition efforts. This is someone I would have lined up early to do signatures as she is connected to a network of like minded people.
It made me wonder if Ms Greene is actually going to be able to secure a spot on the June 26 primary ballot.
She is now hinting at an independent run, which has some pretty high hurdles to get on the ballot and without a party line her name would end up at the bottom of the ballot. However her strong right to life stance could still make her nettlesome to Mr. Doheny by offering more conservative voters a choice as did Doug Hoffman in 2010.
If Ms. Greene had done the HOTLINE, I could have politely asked her all these questions, but that never came about.
Amaral's latest tome about her candidacy suggests some real antipathy towards the press, which strikes me as a rookie mistake since the free media is important in this situation.

She appears to be a bit of a whack job if she thinks her Facebook is "private" but leaves it open and if she cannot figure out how to make it private then why would I vote for her to be my Reepresentative in the House of Congress.
She does not even come across as intelligent, sorry I am not in the tank for Doheny but I will vote for someone with some intelligence.
It is not a rookie mistake to complain about the press but since her complaint has no merit whatsoever, it is the mistake of someone delusional.
In fact the press keeps repeating that she is was a consultant to business and she is obviously too dumb to consult anyone about anything. If the press were really against her they would look into that apparent lie.
So if Doheny loses the General Election does he announce his candidacy for the next election the day after? Seems like he has been running forever.
Well....
What is she?
Is she an Independent or a Rino?
Brian should decide of he's a columnist or a reporter. You can't be both.
His favoritism for Doheny glares in both his column and news reports. Worse yet, he becomes a part of the story. I don't blame Greene for shutting him down. Any candidate would. No one is going to get a fair shake from Brian. His writing is way too slanted.
If he wants to work for Doheny, he should just do what Jude did instead of using his position to shower readers with his love for Doneny.
I can't believe the Times allows him to write with such bias.
I doubt the man even knows how to write a fair and balanced article.
