A final word on Yversha Roman, Molly Clifford's LaShana Boose.

Yversha Roman failed to recapture LD 26 for the Establishment Demagogues tonight. She was handily defeated by Republican incumbent Tony Micciche.
Micciche has hardly been effective as a leader, but at least he knew how to campaign. And walk.
Nobody ever heard of Roman before, just like nobody ever heard of LaShana Boose before this year.
Roman was the creation of the notorious Molly Clifford and social butterfly Elaine Spaull.
They dragged her out of the ghetto, dressed her up, created a biography for her and even gave her a job to make her more palatable to voters.
Moreover, they expected her to win merely because of the numerical superiority of registered Demagogues in LD 26.
That didn't work.
Nor did reinventing Roman.
To quote the great black god, Obama: "A pig with lipstick is still a pig."
Maybe the next time she runs for something, she and her goon squad will realize that slashing her opponent's tires and vandalizing his property won't win her any votes.
Or maybe not.
You can take a stupid little girl out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of a stupid little girl.

The Democrats plan to run a non-entity for LD 26.

The Democrats are desperate to unseat the Republican incumbent for LD 26 this November.
Not because he is bad, indifferent or ineffective. The Democrats have offered up their share of similar types for the County Legislature before.
And won.
Even if Tony Micciche were any good, that wouldn't matter.
It's merely that he is a Republican.
That he has no real connection to LD 26 is not an issue.
Because what the Democrats have finally come up with is a complete unknown in the northwest, too.
It has been announced that the Democrats will be running Yversha Roman, an assistant director of school-based programs at the Center for Youth Services Inc. She got that position courtesy of Elaine Spaull, city councilman for the east district, to make Roman look like she's worth something.
I have never heard of her before, and I have lived in the northwest for 25 years.
But then I never heard of Micciche either, until he ran for office four years ago.
He was never involved in the northwest before that time. He still isn't.
Neither is Roman.
She's a non-entity, but she's a Democrat.
And the Democratic committee is counting on the mere numerical superiority of registered Democrats to win, rather than any accomplishments Roman has to offer because she has none.
Steve Eckel, Micciche's Democratic predecessor, counted on the same thing.
It didn't work.
But now the Democrats have someone to challenge the Republican incumbent.
Even if nobody has ever heard of her before.
All they needed was someone to vote the way the other Democrats in the County Legislature do.
If she wins.
Anyone would have worked out just as well.
It will be interesting to see what kind of propaganda the Democrats will use to sell her to the voters.
