Steve the Machine Celebrates Victory – At Vito’s Clubhouse!

By on September 16, 2009 7:33 am in Election09

The Brooklyn Paper’s Ben “I May Not be the Beloved Mike McLaughlin but Love Me Anyway” Muessig got the skinny on Steve “the Machine” Levin’s Democratic primary victory party last night… in the 34th NYC Council District!

Brooklyn Paper: Levin, the hand-picked candidate of the county Democratic Party leader Vito Lopez, spoke to our reporter Ben Muessig outside Lopez’s clubhouse, the Bushwick Council of the Knights of Columbus at Wyckoff Avenue and Grove Street — a location that is not even in the 33rd District that Levin hopes to represent.

The clubhouse is actually in the 34th District, which Lopez-backed candidate Maritza Davila appears to have narrowly lost to former Lopez-staffer Diana Reyna (D-Williamsburg).

    And right next to that silver platter is the carving knife of his detractors. Brownstone Brooklyn got forked.

    Two points –
    I1- t is sad that a group of Jewish people who will never vote for a non-Jewish woman, control who shall be our Council person. A shonda.
    2 – A friend who was a big supporter of Steve’s said to me on election day, ‘He’s not really the babbling, seemingly uninformed, numbnuts you have heard at the debates, he really has good ideas. He just did what he to do to get elected.

    I’d give him the benefit of a doubt.

    if is equally sad that a group of elites backed the loser..Oh I guess its sad for them….they thought money rules ..here votes rule

    Franklin, money rules, no matter whose hands it happens to be in. Doesn’t make a difference whether the bearers sport Brooks Brothers suits or earlocks, it’s guaranteed that the most ambitious politicians will figure out who wields the greatest ability to seat them. Given the limited development possibilities in Brownstone Brooklyn, the financial dynamic has shifted.
