Apparently Congressional candidate Kellie Green was at the Armed Forces Day Parade, but I didn't see her.....So far voters are not seeing much of her campaign for the GOP nomination for Congress and even Republican strategists and insiders are surprised (and pleased) at the lack of a coordinated effort to defeat likely nominee Matt Doheny in the June 26 primary.
The fear is not that she would would win...but that she could outperform expectations, revealing antipathy within the party towards Doheny. There is also the notion she could attack Doheny and soften him up on women's issues using the Gawker photos that frankly were doing Doheny no good til the manna from Heaven story broke about an allegedly unethical trip to Taiwan by Rep. Owens.
Meanwhile prior to the parade, I spotted Mr. Doheny working the crowd and "making friends." He poses here with members of the Black River Rollers.
He is a hard working campaigner.

The smooch was doing him no good?
That statement is short of saying it hurt him.
I know it hurt him with Middle class Mikey freestuff, who has never voted republican in his life. But as far as I know, everyone else just shrugged their shoulders.
How would you see her or anyone else? Your head is so far up Doheny's behind you can' see anything else.
If the picture was taken at another angle he would have appeared 12 inches or more away. It is all in the angles.
Yeah butt 12 inches is still awful close to his behind.
Greene is trying a brilliant new strategy where she remains so low-key and out of the public eye, that people start talking about her. Just wait until this plays out and and she starts gaining momentum. Instead of everyone thinking she is an idiot that cannot run her own campaign much less handle public office, you will all be in awe of her brilliance....Or not.
1036- I guess it depends on the crowd. The people I was with definitely didn't shrug off Doheny's behavior/character flaws. The general consensus among my neighbors is that the behavior and even more so, his response, were unacceptable. They are afraid that if he gets caught again, he will do whatever it takes to bury it, a la John Edwards. I think if he had just come out in the beginning and admitted it it would have been over by now and no one would give it a second thought. It is the fact that he denied it and blamed others is where people seem to have an issue.
I guess your crowd is a little more forgiving. Or supportive of open marriage. Or something.
9:03 of course it depends on the crowd....thanks for stating the oblivious.
The free stuff crowd did not shrug...they gleefully pounced on the anticlimactic story. Most have given up and are now pouting but a few of you are still hanging on to the idea that you are on to something.
Oh 904, why so nasty/defensive? Don't you know that is a sign of weakness??? I guess my "oblivious" point was just to dispute the grossly over-generalization in the first comment that "everyone else just shrugged their shoulders". As many times as you write it and as much as you might want to believe it, that just isn't the case. Many people I know, who are hardly part if the "free stuff crowd" as you claim, find his morale character deplorable and thus don't want him as their representative. It's not a party thing, or a "free-stuff crowd" thing, or anything that is in any way biased. It's just simple character, or lack of it.
1:12 you have fooled no one and everyone knows your true point.
Your true point being to try to get some mileage out of the smooch.
You needn't bother to dispute my over generalizations, as everyone knows I could not possibly know what everyone's reaction was to the smooch.
