Ann Marie Buerkle, that’s who. You will recall that, when Pete Da Tech Guy and I visited NY-25 in mid-October, a new poll showed the Republican challenger trailing Democratic incumbent Rep. Dan Maffei by 13 points. I ended my Oct. 18 American Spectator column with a quote from Buerkle’s speech to her supporters in the village of Clyde, N.Y., telling them what would happen after they won on Election Day:
“I promise you, we will have one great party.”
Well, because Maffei didn’t concede until last week, that party got postponed. And I just now got an e-mail invitation to Ann Marie Buerkle’s victory celebration, which will be Dec. 8 in Syracuse.
Should I RSVP? Will you hit the tip jar so I can attend?
