I’ve expressed my preference for Frank Scaturro in the NY-4 both with an endorsement as well as questioning why the local establishment GOP would inexplicably go with someone else. Apparently the NRCC agrees more with me…
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) has officially announced Frank Scaturro as an ‘On the Radar’ candidate, an important first step in its Young Guns program…The Young Guns program is designed to assist Republican candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives achieve goals and benchmarks throughout the election cycle focused on the fundamentals of a winning campaign. By achieving ‘On the Radar’ status, Scaturro has already proven his ability to build a successful campaign structure and achieve important fundraising goals.
“The NRCC is committed to working with Frank Scaturro as he continues to meet the rigorous goals of the Young Guns program,” said NRCC Chairman Pete Sessions. “Frank is a respected attorney, academic and activist with practical experience in government and civic service. He is ready to create jobs, rein in government spending, and fight for traditional American values”
Great job Frank!

The most recent poll (I don’t feel like looking it up) showed that more voters would prefer someone other than Kristen Gilligan than they would Kristen Gilligan (hey, that’s what my Blackberry calls her). While voters haven’t warmed up to any of the Republicans running against her yet, it does leave the opportunity. Enter David Malpass.
Ok, so he still has two elections to win first. Just read…
It’s not that Republicans have no ideas. The problem is the ones that do have been getting passed over in lieu on Tea Party caucuses. To an extent, I can understand. We’re this close to victory and we don’t want to make any sudden moves. That doesn’t mean I don’t think it’s horseshit. And apparently, Paul Ryan is starting to show his frustration.
