Wow, That's Tachlis & Pink is Losing Red

I finally got time to run through parts of the Let's Talk Tachlis' debut. Michael Fragin is a super host, and as one who afforded me several re-tweets, I was happy to hear his voice. Moshe Friedman's voice would have been better for a Daf Hayomi Shiur, but the substance is brilliant. A real nice program, especially since it seems that they will take a no holds bars attitude. The traditional talk show programs are often reduced to bragging shows and infomercials. I'm delighted that finally someone it talking Tachlis (sorry for those having a hard time to pronounce it).


Hear are some interesting points from the first program:
Starting a little bit after minute 20, the two are discussing if endorsements are turning off Heimishe voters. Moshe says that endorsements doesn't help any more, and is echoing a point I made a day after the Storobin win, that people "don’t want to be said what they have to do…"


Somewhere after 36, Moshe, who supported Lew Fidler in the special election, is telling that David Storobin won 88 percent of  the vote in BP and 39 percent of Flatbush's. I was the first to reveal Storobin's strength in BP, but never knew that it reached these margins. Moshe was surprised that the marriage issue was stronger in BP than in Flatbush. Explanation: more inclusive Jews hardly cared for rules that are almost exclusivity impacting the broader community. This, apparently, have changed.  

After 40, Moshe is saying that he will miss the Siyum Hashas, because he's going on a trip to Israel, where he will also accompany David Stortobin on visits to Rabunim.

In other news, you probably heard that the pink candidate is expected to lose her bid to run on the red party's line because she failed to file a specific form for non-Republicans seeking that line. And she looks ignorant enough to qualify to go to Albany. "Senate doesn't have to be a Senior Citizen's home," she said. Oh, you have to a hear the anxious breath when shown these photos - I mean, these are not the faces she is out to attract... 

The Felder campaign is suing to dismiss David Storobin's petitions, based on fraud allegations. And I didn't know that Jacob Korbluh ran his petitioning efforts. And Moshe Tischler filed a lawsuit to dismiss Dov Hikind's republican and conservative petitions, and this one contains detailed allegations. According to earlier reports, Hikind will anyway lose the republican line. Wondering if the Tischler's know otherwise, or they just don't want to take any chances. 

David Storobin joined a hopeless fight against a mosque in Sheepsead Bay, and Gatemouth fumes.

While attending a breakfast for Shma Kolainu, Speaker Quinn deftly deflected question about likely lack of support in BP.
