As I recall from my own involvement in that state's politics from a decade ago, it just makes me naturally biased against any candidate emerging from NY--be it Rudy or Hillary or (shudder) Elliott Spitzer.Brandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219319435229314554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1785580148466700025.post-2576449598356816792009-11-04T14:47:41.819+00:002009-11-04T14:47:41.819+00:00I forgot to add that I was disappointed that the &...I forgot to add that I was disappointed that the "My Rent is Too High" candidate (yes that is a an actual political party in New York City) did not win.

I think the inside story on NY-23 though is that the conservative chairman in NY State screwed the GOP yet again, by allowing a carpetbagger to hold that voting line. And any guy that pays deference to Beck should lose...in embarrasing fashion I might add. <br /><br />And how come it was ok for the "conservatives" to throw a temper tandrum when Hillary rode into this state and called her a carpetbagger, but did the same thing here in NY-23. Ahh politics will never change. The pot will always be calling the kettle black.<br /><br />But if any trend emerged its that that moderate "common sense" politics is starting to take hold. The extreme views are for the cable networks and the likes of Sarah Palin to drive ratings and sell books.Desert Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06308849346331851712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1785580148466700025.post-65259531537771360262009-11-04T14:38:29.795+00:002009-11-04T14:38:29.795+00:00J--I believe they changed that law after Rudy, so ...J--I believe they changed that law after Rudy, so no term limits.
