The Empire Strikes Back


Lest folks believe from two earlier posts (here and here) that it’s only anti-Lenihan forces, bankrolled by Responsible New York, polluting the mailboxes of Democratic Party county committee people, get a load of this mailing touting Lenihan’s accomplishments:

And here’s another one (the third I’ve seen) attacking Lenihan and elections commissioner Dennis Ward. Still now word on who, exactly, committee people are supposed to vote for instead of Lenihan:




Never Give Up the Fight


Yesterday Democratic committee members, who meet on Saturday at Hearthstone Manor for the post-primary re-organization meeting, received a flier in the mail attacking current county chairman Len Lenihan and elections czar Dennis Ward. I posted it below.

Now those same committee members are receiving a new flier peddling the same message:

Still no word on who these committee members are supposed to vote for in order to rid the party of the vile Lenihan and Ward. Nor is it clear who’s paying for these mailings, though one might reasonably guess it’s Steve Pigeon using Responsible New York funds. (Over at BuffaloPundit, a sharp-eyed commenter notes that the bulk permit on these mailers matches that on a Baby Joe Mesi mailing, which would seem to corroborate that supposition.)

Erie County Democrats just keep swinging away at one another.

In the wake of last week’s primary, County Democratic Chairman Len Lenihan seems assured of winning another term when the part re-organizes this week. But that hasn’t stopped those who sought to unseat him from continuing their campaign. This flier arrived in today’s mail at the house of Peter Reese, who was elected last Tuesday to the county Democratic committee (click for larger image):

Who paid for this? Who exactly does it support?

Reese said, “I am all for change, but who the hell are the candidates?”
