A-144: A Chance To Oust Sam Hoyt?...
Sam Hoyt has survived a pretty nasty election year scandal, so clearly, party loyalty makes his job quite safe. But this year’s election is shaping out to at least be interesting enough that Hoyt might have some vulnerability. For one thing, there’s Joe Golombek, who is not only facing Hoyt...
Fwd: Hypocrisy, Dirty Politics, & T...
Well, things just got so much more interesting in the gubernatorial race. At least for a couple days. We all certainly get email forwards to us. Some are funny, some are stupid chain letters that we ignore (well, I ignore them anyway)… well it turns out that Carl Paladino is no different. Imagine...

There’s good news for anyone worried that sanctimonious disgrace Eliot Spitzer learned lessons and improved himself since he joined the Emperors Club: he hasn’t changed at all. Yep, he’s still as contemptible as ever.
I hate to even give attention to someone who most people hoped would enjoy...

Expanding the Best Picture Oscar field to 10 entrants may water down the field. But some competitions feature a plethora of worthwhile candidates. Take trying to pick the Best New York State Democrat. The academy that’s in charge of issuing the Democraties ™ would have to permit a similarly...
Paterson Exits Race; And What Will Cuomo...
I suspected a while back that something was gonna take Paterson out of the race. I suspect, given the circumstances, that the Democratic Party is somehow involved in forcing his move this week.

Note to Governor Paterson: this response to the ACORN scandal isn’t going to save your career.
In another blow to ACORN, Gov. Paterson put a hold Friday on all state contracts with the embattled anti-poverty agency.

…happen to be mostly Democrats.
As Brooklyn Sen. Kevin Parker joins the growing list of indicted state lawmakers, it’s time to face a disturbing fact.
The vast majority of Albany’s crime wave can be traced to one group: New York City Democrats.

In what could be described as a bipartisan vote of no confidence in Governor Paterson, Republicans and Democrats are pushing for a special election to fill the Senate seat that will be vacated by Hillary Clinton when she leaves to serve as Barack Hussein Obama’s secretary of state.

It’s kind of funny how similar Jon Powers and Baby Joe Mesi are. Both have shady dealing with their respective charities. Jon Powers’ failed charity, War Kids Relief, according to disclosure forms, lined his wallet a lot better than it helped Iraqi children, and Joe Mesi’s Organ...
A-144: Buffalo News Endorses Sam Hoyt?...
I’m sorry, but I just can’t get my head around this. Sam Hoyt has affairs with interns in Albany, and yet, the Buffalo News, in their endorsement of Hoyt, is telling Democrats to ignore the scandal, and vote for the guy anyway.

SD-61: More Democrat Nastiness...
I am always amused when Democrats claim they want to talk about issues and in practice, they are some of the nastiness campaigners, desperately seeking to tear their opponents down in order to raise themselves up. So far, the democratic primary in the 26th district has been defined by negative ads, finger-pointing,...
