Will Anthony Gemma Make it Official This Week?

Carroll Andrew Morse

Ian Donnis of Rhode Island Public Radio is reporting that...

Multiple sources tell RIPR that Anthony Gemma, who placed second to David Cicilline in the four-way Democratic First Congressional District primary in 2010, is gearing up to announce a rematch against the freshman congressman. Gemma is expected to make his run formal as soon as this week, sources say.

Gemma did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

They're not exactly cheering about it over on RIF but that's what you get when you hang your hat on a sociopathic liar.

Let's hope Gemma runs! At last check, Cicilline has about $500,000 raised so far for his re-election campaign, and he'll need to spend a lot of that to fend off Gemma. That means his campaign chest will be nearly broke by the time the primary is over, and he'll have nothing left over to fend off Doherty!
