The Republican Party in Staten Island is Having a VERY Bad Year

When I heard the news that Francis H. Powers, Republican candidate for Congress in Staten Island had died was :


My condolences to his family, but the sequence of events was:
  • The incumbent was busted driving drunk to his mistress, who bore him a daughter, and decided not to run for reelection.
  • When Francis H. Powers (Frank), was chosen as the Republican candidate, his son Francis M. Powers (Fran) decided to run for election against him, making Frank the but of the late night talk shows.
  • And now Frank Powers is dead, and Republicans cannot find anyone else interested in running.
This has gone from challenge to fiasco.
