NY Gov race
Sure, it's not for another 19 or so months, but I'm looking forward to my douchebag governor Pataki going down. Acording to The New York Newsday a Siena poll shows:
The Siena College Research Institute poll had Spitzer leading Pataki, 53 percent to 30 percent, up from a 51 percent-to-35 percent lead for the attorney general in a Siena poll last month.
...
In the new Siena poll, just a quarter of voters said the state was on the right track, down from 32 percent in Siena's February poll.
While I'm clearly unhappy that for the next 19 months, we have to continue to be on the wrong track, I'm pumped for Spitzer to take over. I volunteered at an event of his in January, heard him speak, and met his deputy campaign director - good guy. Unfortunately they aren't hiring in the immediate future, or else I might still be in NY working for him. Nonetheless, this is good news. It'll hopefully start with the defeat of Bloomberg by Ferrer (the likely candidate) or someone else sneaking in (Weiner? But who could really vote for a Mayor named Weiner...)

Hey Mark,
Ok so I'm a student at Siena and the polls of the Siena Research Institute are very good. We polled that Hilary would win by 11 points. Siena's polls tend to predict the appropriate winner of the race so I guess we'll have to see.
Love ya, Your Siena Friend Kristy
Latino Popular Party Endorses Pataki
Buffalo NY - Citing Governor George Pataki’s commitment to improving the quality of life for Hispanics and his continued support of job growth and economic development in Erie County, the LPP Nominating Committee today announced its endorsement of Governor Pataki’s reelection for Governor.
In the Governor’s race, it's about experience, vision, and delivering on promises. Governor Pataki gets an "A" on all three. He’s the only candidate who has actually created jobs, put more money into education, and brought economic development to Western New York. The race is also about leadership, and the many important issues that confront New Yorkers such as the economy, education, transportation, and human services.
George Pataki is a gubernatorial candidate running in the tradition of a leader with a vision for the future and a compass to get there. We believe the answers are straightforward and his record speaks for itself. New Yorkers should stay the course and reelect George Pataki as governor. He’s a solid fit for New Yorkers.
It is with great pride that we also offer the following endorsements: Louise M. Slaughter U.S. House of Representative.
