		<description><![CDATA[<p>Councilman Dennis Gallagher, who was <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime_file/2007/08/02/2007-08-02_councilman_gallagher_indicted_for_rape.html" target="_blank">indicted</a> for rape earlier this year, came in last place in a race to become a Republican judicial delegate in the Queens district he’s represented since 2001.
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>The unofficial results for the three positions there, according to the city Board of Elections, are:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<div class="oldbq">John Haggerty-320
<p class="MsoNormal">Marguerite Adams-319</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Matt Hunter-258</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Bart Bruno-235</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Richard Metzger-290</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Dennis Gallagher-207</p>
</p></div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> It’s little bit of a blow for organization Republicans, some of whom hoped Gallagher could <a href="/2007/gallagher-fund-raising-aiming-local" target="_blank">run</a> to <a href="http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/07/05/in-queens-a-fight-to-challenge-a-veteran-state-senator/" target="_blank">keep</a> the state Senate seat there in Republicans hands. And the top voter-getter in this obscure race was John Haggerty, who, along with his brother, Bart, have been waging a years-long <a href="http://www.nyobserver.com/node/27763" target="_blank">war</a> against county leaders <a href="http://www.wheresthepaper.org/Politicker070202MalteseOutRagusaIn.htm" target="_blank">Phil Ragusa</a> and his predecessor, Serph Maltese.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(I’m still waiting to get results on Gallagher’s re-election bid for his County  Committee position).
<p class="MsoNormal">While Ragusa won his race for State <strike>County</strike> Committee (which functions the same as being a district leader in other counties), another Maltese ally was knocked off the ballot and another is trailing by 28 votes. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Marguerite Adams – executive vice president of the Queens GOP and a senior member of the state committee – is trailing in her State <strike>County</strike> Committee race to Haggerty ally Virginia Donnelly by 28 votes, according to Bart Haggerty.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Another Maltese ally, Karyn Peterson, was knocked off the ballot and replaced by Janice  Bar, Haggerty said.   </p>
