Congratulations to Tom Buchanan for picking the right candidate for Assembly, even though he may have had to go against two of his close friends to do what was right for the Party.

Nobody trusts Parisi and now you can add Santabarbara's name to that list.  Salamone was a casualty of anti-Parisi sentiment and now Buchanan needs to rebuild the party.

It's simple, blame who you want, but some self-serving Reps showed their true colors this year.  Santabarbara and Parisi (and little Gerard Salamone) attacked the party and worked together in every effort to destroy what's left of Republican incumbants.  Thank you to GA, Peter G, Tom Buchanan and the rest, job well done.  

It's funny, even in the 11th hour, Parisi never had the courage, honor or self worth to do what's right for the party.  No wonder they refer to him as a scumbag.

Please!! Angelo only lost by 8%, if you think that is alot, your mistaken.. Im sure Angelo isnt going anywhere!! People want change and people will get change!! If we all continue to work together and as hard as we did this time, no stopping us next election!!!!

You couldn't be any more wrong with that post. In fact, just reading over some of the other posts proves to me that a lot of folks here are either to bound by party/faction loyalty to admit defeat...or that ignorance reigns supreme. First of all, Santabarbara would have given Amedore a run for his money...had it not been for Montgomery County, which solidly backed ALL Republican candidates. Second, Salamone would have won...had it not been for the CONSERVATIVES(i.e., the famous police union vote). There's only one thing this election proved in Rotterdam: How unbelievably disjointed town politics really are.

Peter, it wasnt alot at all! Take a look at the numbers buddy, he only won because of Montgomery county.. Huge victory for Santabarbara, even though he lost..

Are you actually comparing Montgomery county's electorate to schenectady county's? That should sum it up for ya!

Word in town hall is that Mr. Parisi is planning on running for Supervisor.

You know, I watched the replay of the budget meeting on channel 18.  It was funny at the end, when Gerard thanked Nikki for working so hard on the budget ammendments, then Gerard said that Nikki "even worked harder than me" on the budget.  I thought it was telling about his ego, and he couldn't give a compliment without injecting himself into it.  

I also got a hoot out of Bob "GOTCHA" Godlewsik questioning EVERY ammendment.  Boy does he waste a lot of time fixing blame and covering his a$$.

Again, not Peter. You make it sound like Amedore lost Schd'y County... Do you ever tell the truth?

Yeah....that's been going around rotterdam. He certainly will not be alone in that venture! The informed rotterdamians are pissed off at the direction their town is going in.

It's gonna be a hell of a 2011 election year in schenectady county! Hang on to your seats and pass the pop corn!

Parisi will get his butt whipped if he runs for Supervisor.

In the next election for supervisor anyone who runs against FDG will win.

Who said the Democraps will endorse FDG?

The word around the Bagel Shop is look for Diane vs. Brian. The NNTP rides again! Don't call it a comeback. Have heard some other interesting names-many trial balloons being released countywide. The natives have become very relentless. Landslides have consequences.
