What is this nonsense Greg? This has got to be the biggest nonstory you've ever posted. Things a little slow at the office? James is right, as usual. What is this nonsense Greg?

Says it all. And I guess I could go volunteer for Jay O'Brien in his taxpayer-subsidized furniture store if I please, but I'd rather work for someone with integrity. It's pretty funny that this is the attack you're making. "Well, I'm done railing against the terrorist...QUICK, onto the guy with beer!" Greg, can we count on your commitment to withdraw your support from any candidate who offers beer at an official campaign event? I love how he called it the “Greg Galligan Primary.” Says it all.

Having a beverage or two when you're listening to candidate speeches is pretty unremarkable. But using the lure of free beer to get people to phone bank is something like offering free beer to folks who will drive people to the polls.

If this were a Republican - like Bob McDonnell - you would be double toupeeing this and jumping up and down about how someone could get hurt. But because you and Galligan are buddies nad were young Dems together or whatever your laying off. If this were Jay O'Brien you would savage him. You crack me up Ben.

I personally don't drink BTW. When I attended Galligan's phone bank last month it was basically a pizza on the table and a fridge with beer, soda, water, etc. People grabbed what they wanted. It's a phone bank- not a party- no one is getting wasted. With all due respect to Chris, as I recall he worked the drink table at Tom Davis's kickoff last year- and they served more alcohol that night than Galligan has in this entire campaign. But again- ignore the 21st amendment and focus on the 18th. :) I don’t know how Republicans do it, but I can’t remember the last phone bank I attended without alcohol. I personally don’t drink BTW.

"Hellow, Mrsish Joneses, Wanna help out Gre, Greg, Gerhallihanihan? Heesh a really nish guy..." They gotta be hurtin for volunteers bug time to start this.

What would happen if one of those volunteers hurt someone or themselves? This guy wants to be a leader, instead he is boozing up volunteers. You know, this is pretty serious.
