Apparently Dear Leader is seeing it fit to interfere himself in New York politics again. First, he made personal phone calls to people to make sure none of them primaried current NY Senator Kristen Gillibrand, which makes you realize just how weak of a candidate they think she is behind the scenes. Now he’s setting his sites on our Governor David Patterson, trying to bully him out of the race straight up Chicago stylee encourage him not to run for re-election.
Why he’s choosing this Governor to throw under the bus, as opposed to other equally incompetent Democrat Governors, we don’t know. Is it because of the color of Gov. Patterson’s skin? Does President Obama have a problem with blind people? I could bring the snark here, but as the media teaches us, criticism of the President will not be tolerated.
Besides, RNC chairman Michael Steele brings the snark much better than I can…
Well, New York politics is at least keeping things interesting this week. On the day rumors surfaced that Rudy Giuliani was considering a senate run, two things happened that might help his decision. One was the major terror bust in NYC, reminding us why another strong voice for national security is need on our side. The other was current Senator Kristen Gillibrand being one of seven to vote against cutting off federal funding for ACORN.
I’ve been finding it somewhat embarrassing that we in New York don’t seem to have a candidate to go against current NY Senator Kristen Gillibrand yet. Rep. Pete King said no. Former Gov. George Pataki I think is just flirting with the idea to get attention. While every other state seems to have multiple Republicans running against Democrat incumbents, here in the great state of New York…not so much.
It’s been frustrating over the past few months to see cats announce their candidacy for 2010 that get me fired up more than anyone in my home state of New York. Whether it’s John Kasich in Ohio, Marco Rubio in Florida, Peter Schiff in Connecticut, or Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania, you have all these candidates I can really get behind while New York dont give me nothing but a senate shut down. Hopefully that’s aboot to change because, at least as of yesterday, Rudy Giuliani might finally be announcing his run for governor.
