Clarke's New Friends
Another clue about how big a role Anthony Weiner played in helping Yvette Clarke establish her Washington connections: this picture was taken a few days after the primary and is the only photo of the soon-to-be congresswoman with statewide stars Hillary Clinton and Chuck Schumer.
While Clarke is laying low for the moment, expect pictures like this to start popping when she gets around to campaigning for the general election against an actual Republican.
By the way, is that a cell phone Chuck is holding? The man never stops!

So depressing.
MAZEL TOV Yvette -- your Jewish friends support you.
As long as David Yaasky is not in that photo...
Unless Yvette gets indicted, we will never see or hear from her again.
Few "actual republicans" are for the legalization of drugs.
We are still celebrating and extremely happy that she is going to be the soon-to-be Congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke. She is our winner. You fit right in Congresswoman Clarke. Stay strong.

Any insight as to why Anthony chose Yvette as his candidate in this race? In any event, a very lucky choice. Lets just see if Anthony can muster up support in the 11th for his '09 mayoral race.
Anthony made a terrific call. Back in early August, the calculation was win or lose, he'd wind up with the respect of Caribbean leaders. Turns out he got lucky.
4:48, 5:50, you should really give it a rest. I must say though your writing did improve.

watch as yvette endorses Carrion or Thompson in '09. typical thankless yvette.
I thought Una Clarke is known for turning her back on those who have helped her.
Yvette is diferent and does not do that to people.
You are right she does fit right in, and she is no dummy. Color is beautiful.
