The State Party, much like my local Brooklyn machine, is all about power and influence. They don't WANT us to get too big for our britches. The whole Spitzer/Cuomo wave was accompanied by behind the scenes thuggishness that was a turn off for me back then, and which meant Spitzer's downfall and this kind of stuff is no surprise to me. People who are far more insider than us got screwed at the NY State Convention if they didn't toe the line. I never expected to get recognition from the State Party.
Once you get beyond New York I have found far more appreciation when you help out. I suspect Culture Kitchen will get it no trouble.
