Ulster County political types really like the Internet. Comptroller Eliot Auerbach has a blog. So do legislator Mike Madsen and former Kingston mayoral candidate Rich Cahill. There's Jeremy Blaber, a Democratic campaigner with a lively blog on the Ulster County political scene.
And then there's Ulster Mojo.
Ulster Mojo is hilariously, outrageously, wickedly mean. It knows where the bodies are buried, and it enjoys exhuming them. It's got a slew of anonymous commenters eager to heap abuse on both Auerbach and county exec Mike Hein (a.k.a., "The Mighty Heiny").
Seems like a recent Mojo item razzing Auerbach's campaign finances was the final straw for Blaber. Yesterday, Blaber outed the anonymous Mojo as former Republican county legislator Joe Roberti.
Elliott ran his campaign in 08 spending just enough to get him elected and I think his election is an example that money does not buy elections. I guarantee Joe Roberti could of spent 10 times the amount of what Quigley spent and would have got trampled by Auerbach, cuz money also can't buy Joe Roberti a personality.
Zing!
