[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]wow.  i know you're in the tank for Frumin, but come on.  that's a huge stretch.

Frumin had everything to gain by leaking the story.  his campaign got hardly any coverage in the Post, and he picked up all of ZERO endorsements on blogs/online newspapers/etc, other than here on DCUM.  He might have strong support on Ward 3, but it doesn't extend far beyond that, and leaking the story slowed Silverman's momentum in the last 36 hours of the campaign, while making people question her ethics and feel bad for him.

Elissa released the emails to show that, contrary to the allegation that she would HELP HIM UNSEAT MARY CHEH, she simply offered to support him in achieving his goals int he future, whether they be running again or not.

What's more... if you think that either of these candidates  or someone in their "inner circles" has the TIME to sit and have a few drinks with Pat Mara's people, you're out of your mind. [/quote]

Listen, I know that you are frustrated that things are not going your way. But, you really need to get a hold of yourself. This is a direct quote from Silverman's own email:

"I would be happy to support and endorse you if you decided on a run in Ward 3 or if another seat opened up."

Can you tell what seats exist in Ward 3? Do you think Frumin needs an endorsement to run for an ANC position that he already holds? The only possible seat to which Silverman can be referring is Cheh's.

I don't see what Frumin had to gain from releasing this story.

Silverman has been shooting herself in the foot throughout this campaign. This is just one more case. Don't take your anger out on me. Go talk to your candidate.
