Not a primary opponent – just a primary. That’s news, right? And who did this “high-ranking Democratic official” huff the news to? Celia, of course.
As a high-ranking Democratic official huffed, “We cannot afford not to primary him, because if we don’t, we will lose that seat, because there are a lot of Democrats like me who won’t vote for him.”
No Democrat has come forward to run yet, but it may just be a matter of time.
The Republicans do not have a candidate, either, although there is talk about Ken Simpler Jr., a financial professional from Newark with a diploma from Princeton in political economics and advanced degrees from the University of Chicago.
Do I sound jealous? I stopped wondering if any high-ranking Democratic official was ever going to huff anything in my direction about two years ago. We all play our little part in these performances – the blogging aids monkey and the courtesan. An exit here, an entrance there.
By the way, if I wrote that I’d have said – “…there is talk about Ken Simpler Jr., a financial professional from Newark with a diploma from Princeton in nearly killing underage undergraduates with alcohol.”
Maybe that’s why nobody huffs to me?
