Smart move…
The day after Mitt Romney won the nomination for President (give or take a few weeks) and I decide it’s time to pivot to among other things local politics, it was refreshing to see Westchester county executive Rob Astorino interviewed in National Review.
He had been getting some national attention over his issues with the Obama Campaign’s HUD Department and his 2012 budget, and this will only help raise his profile…which is very convenient considering he’s one of small amount of names who might have a shot against Andrew Cuomo in 2014.
A little of the interview…

In the Weekly Republican Address, Representative Nan Hayworth (R-NY) highlights House Republicans’ Plan for America’s Job Creators and the 27 bipartisan jobs bills still awaiting action in the Democrat-controlled Senate. Our national unemployment rate remains above 8 percent for 35 consecutive months–the longest stretch since the Great Depression.

I enjoy Joe Scarborough much more off of MSNBC. Granted I stopped watching after the network tried holding Sarah Palin as an accessory to murder in Arizona, but there was always a difference between the Joe on MSNBC Joe off. His radio show that was on WABC is actually what I tried to pattern my podcast “The Right Hook” after, and more often than not his Politico column’s have me nodding and saying “word, son!”
This week’s was a perfect example, that I think too many people on our side is going to dismiss since Scarborough is a squishy liberal RINO communist, and even worse…he’s quoting Maureen Dowd’s brother. That’s a shame because they lay out a blueprint the GOP should be listening too. The column goes more into detail, but the bullet points…

“If you don’t make the argument in the campaign,what makes you think that you’ll ever make it if you get elected–Jan. 21?”
I had touched on this last week, that while Romney goes through the motions and rattles off the basics when it comes to tax reform, he always falls back on Obama-esque class warfare rhetoric, yet while still claiming to reform taxes and lowering them on the “rich” that he claims he can’t do because he can’t get elected that way.
