Doheny Rallies Supporters at Watertown HQ

       With three days till the primary, likely GOP nominee Matt Doheny rallied his supporters at his Court Street headquarters this morning before heading off to the battleground eastern end of the newly drawn 21st CD.
    I got there early enough to hear the security guy being briefed on how to deal with any Democratic "trackers" looking for a mucaca moment.  There were no trackers or mucacas.

    A couple of people commented on this week's HOTLINE interview...One scolded me for not being hard enough on Kellie Greene and for not pinning her down on her personal finances (I think her situation was laid bare by my tactful questioning)...Another hack told me I "came at" Doheny in my questioning of him.

     I thought I was in the Way Back Machine listening to an introductory speech by Assemblyman Blankenbush about how we need to get back the North Country Republican team like in the old days...Reminded me of that commercial with Martin, Barclay, Nortz and O'Neil sitting around a table nodding with approval at each other....
     What the Assemblyman forgot was the the team can't happen because the GOP has no candidate to run against Addie Russell, although one county lawmaker continues to play Hamlet on the St. Lawrence by talking about a last minute challenge.
      As for Mr. Doheny, he ask supporters to get their friends out for the Tuesday primary when polls are open from noon to nine.
       As with most of the campaign, little or not media coverage, proving that a campaign without TV ads is not newsworthy.
