The Nassau GOP Pipe Dream

Mondello is staying put. The man who has led the once powerful Nassau Republicans right off a cliff is going to continue to drag the party down until they, I don't know, end up like the Brooklyn Republicans.

you would think after loosing;
-Control of the County Legislature
-the County Executive race...twice
-two Congressional seats
-the District Attorney's race
-two State Assembly seats
-a State Senate seat
in just the past 10 years, it's probably time for new leadership for the party, but not for the Republicans. I guess when you have full power in the place for over 50 years and then suddenly loose, you refuse to accept you actually lost it.

The loss of the 7th State Senate seat was the last straw for the Nassau GOP. They've held all the State Senate seats in Nassau County for over 30 years, to lose one, especially in a special election, is just dreadful for them.

Oh well, let's see how easy it's going to be for Mondello to fundraise and support candidates with the Nassau GOP almost broke and, as I mentioned earlier, the state GOP nearly irrelevant. He better hope Giuliani gets the GOP Presidential nod and then does as well as he is now on Long Island. It would at least save his party for the immediate future.
