Living Political History

I received the following email over the weekend, which was probably written in response to this article about legendary Democratic 12th Ward boss Dock Fielder. It certainly provides some food for thought.

there was once was a time, not so long ago, when a candidate of either political party didn't have a prayer of winning an election without first sitting down with a handful of gurus affiliated with the democratic party of allegheny county ... dock fielder and bubby hairston, phil frasca, frank bruno and guy petrone, tommy martinelli, sam tiglio, frank gigliotti and/or the wagner brothers, don kovac and harry kramer. and if one didn't know who any of these guys were, they just simply weren't ready to hold public elective office in this town. of course, it was rare to receive the blessing of all of the aforementioned, but if one were lucky enough to walk away from ameeting with fielder, petrone, bruno, tiglio and hairston, that candidate was most certainly assured a victory in his/her race and the rest of the party, when the wheels were well-oiled, usually followed inline with their support. critics can say what they want, but i've lived through those days and the quality of the candidates and loyalty of the party faithful cannot be compared to what we have these days. if my candidacy were on the line, there is no doubt in my mind that i'd prefer the blessing of the gurus than a series of series of disorganized meet-ups attended by a bunch of independent thinking and even more disorganized activists who, when it's all said and done, aren't worth more than their own vote.
