Title: Re: RI-01/Fleming & Associates (D primary): Cicilline in trouble before November Post by: Joe Republic on May 16, 2012, 09:12:44 PM Quote Doherty, the Rhode Island State Police's former superintendent, had a double-digit lead over both Democrats in a WPRI 12 poll of 1st District voters conducted in February, even though the district is heavily Democratic. Great job, Dems.

Title: Re: RI-01/Fleming & Associates (D primary): Cicilline in trouble before November Post by: minionofmidas on May 18, 2012, 05:48:44 AM The problem is that Gemma is anything but a first rate challenger (as viz. Cicilline not being dead in the primary water.)
And... uh... this is the opening of a "profile" on his own campaign website... Quote Through his business career and quest for the RI First Congressional District seat, Anthony Gemma has cultivated a hard-driving, aggressive persona that has sometimes irked media members and political rivals. Joseph Gemma, dean of Providence College’s junior class, assistant management professor, and the oldest of nine Gemma siblings, understands why some might take that view of his family’s youngest, 17 years his junior. “Sometimes people are confused by him, think they know him through his Facebook postings or tweets, and stop at that level,” he says. Uh... what?

If Doherty did take this 67% Obama seat, he would very likely easily be beaten by a competent Dem in 2014. He would be the GOP version of Walt Minnick.

You shouldn't piss away safe seats. Exactly. Allowing a Republican to get elected to Congress from Rhode Island is inexcusable on the Democrats' part. This is worse than Charles Djou.

Yet Hilarious at the same time. I wonder if this is Winfield's district. Title: Re: RI-01/Fleming & Associates (D primary): Cicilline in trouble before November Post by: tpfkaw on May 20, 2012, 05:57:05 PM Not quite as bad as that New Orleans district. Also, the RIGOP is essentially indistinguishable from the RI-Dems. They should probably label the ballot lines "Irish Mob" and La Cosa Nostra as applicable to confuse the voters less.

Title: Re: RI-01/Fleming & Associates (D primary): Cicilline in trouble before November Post by: Filuwaúrdjan on May 21, 2012, 06:22:46 PM Well a Republican did represent the 1st District in RI from 1989-1994. I just looked that up. Only because the Democratic incumbent in 1988 was corru... oh, hang on a moment...

Rather embarrassing, for Providence of all places.

Extremely corrupt, also hid a $200 million deficit as Mayor of Providence while running for congress that he dumped on his successor.
