BREAKING: AL LEVIN 100% SURE TO BE RUNNING AGAINST MIKE PROTACK
Posted by jason330 under UncategorizedAll the nail biting and fretting on the GOP side can cease as of today. I have it from a good source that Levin in going to break his silence and consent to be Mike Protack’s next victim. (And if he survives that crucible, the next GOP sacrificial lamb in the race for Governor.)
Oh and One More Thing: With this breaking story we have once again “scooped” the News Urinal. Just sayin’.

I was as worried as anyone on the GOP side that Al would sit this out.

I’m just commenting ’cause I want the Over….
I was really hoping the Theocrat, Christine Whatever ran. Oh well, maybe on the Delaware Christian Socialist Party….
….and remember, Pagan holidays taken over by white-male suggestions and wants are IMPORTANT!

That’s breaking news? I thought it was understood he would be announcing in January
December 13, 2007 at 1:37 pm
Understood by a few party insiders. Now understood by the world thanks to Delawareliberal.

Was that a little Micky Rooney impression back on 8 ?

I can narrow down the reference by noting that the blog mentioned has a one-track focus, allowing it to also be called Fucking Shutup Protack.
December 13, 2007 at 2:16 pm
I have recieved word that Protack is holding press confrence in regards to this breaking news. Whose going?
December 13, 2007 at 2:25 pm
It just may be possible he can double the crowd he had at the insurance announcement.
December 13, 2007 at 2:37 pm
Jas,
I was thinking more in line with the snickers commercial

You are a freakin’ riot.
Breaking news! That’s hilarious.
December 13, 2007 at 2:56 pm
Granted some people are still skeptical, but my source is pretty close to Al himself so I feel confident breaking this story.
You may post it on your blog provided you link to this story and give me credit for breaking this news.

Protack seems to be a reaction to party leadership that is little more than maintaining a slow decline in political fortune.
He does not seem to be an activist in the traditional sense of the words but gathers a great deal of support as a protest candidate.
As a refugee from Maryland, I was shocked by the inability of First State Republicans to do better with demographics better than could be found in Maryland. In a Maryland political jurisdiction, any place where the ratio was no worse then 2-1 tended to go Republican.
The 1994 gubernatorial election was an example of grass-roots activism at its best. A lafgely volunteer band of people motivated by issues beat the well-funded ‘party favorite’ in a landslide. A late ‘vote surge’ from a ward where voting late and often is a common practice doomed the effort but provided a lot of people with lessons in detection of vote fraud. The investigators were out-lawyered in a fast-track court case.
Issues are the meat of politics. They seem to be ignored.

Issues shmissues. Mike Protack wants to be gov because its a dream, hes never held a public office position at any level and he wants to jump straight to the top. He just wants to be the man. And he has some personal vendetta against the republicans. He’ll never admit this, but it’s so obvious.

Jason, who besides you thought there was any doubt about Alan Levin joining the race? Here’s a big scoop — Christmas will be celebrated on Dec. 25 this year.

Al, political wins and political races are notoriously fickle. Levin has not yet announced. As they say, “It ain’t a fact until the fat, Italian sings.”
December 14, 2007 at 10:53 am
Al shouldn’t you be on the radio at this time?
December 14, 2007 at 12:36 pm
Dis, my point is that lots of people have talked to “people close to the candidate” and are aware of the planned date of Levin’s announcement. It’s not a scoop to those people, and they are legion.
And actually the fat ladies sing mostly in German operas.
