I’m hoping he’s a stubborn man and tries to run for reelection, but Democrats are VERY good at getting rid of dead weight.

I’m also afraid Chris Dodd will also be shown the door. I just don’t see Democrats letting Republicans pick off a Senate seat in such a Blue State.

Long term, Republicans need to find ways to win over these blue states besides just hoping for incumbent Democrats to be ensnared in scandal or corruption charges.

the only sitting Black governor in America be defrocked by a Cuomo; just like the embarrassing Senator Burris, they will fight tooth and nail to keep that seat Black. Ye of little faith despair not; Cuomo will not get out of a primary fight and will not leave unscathed. It will be good fun; these poll numbers just mean Paterson will play the race card sooner rather than later.

It’s not like the Democratic Party is reflexively and neurotically driven by opinion polling or anything…

…

…oh.

I think that the GOP should do everything in its power to recruit Amity Shlaes to run against Kirsten Gillibrand for the U.S. Senate in 2010.

In fact, I think that free market economists and economic historians should be recruited to run against each and every Democrat and Big Government Republican in the country.

To that end, Sarah Steelman would fit in very well with this line of attack in the Missouri senate race.

Bear in mind that we’re talking about New York state here. This is the state who elected a former first lady who never lived in the state prior running for senate. Most people with an iota of common or financial sense have all but fled the state, leaving only pathological liberals, transient liberals and beaten down New Yorkers who can’t conceive of living anywhere where else in the cosmos. Even the most sound conservative candidate would barely eek by going against Paterson, let alone a stronger candidate.

Andrew Cuomo is his through and through his father’s son. I lived in New York during the Cuomo years and distinctly recall Democrats who hated Cuomo but still voted for him. They’ d rather take cyanide capsules before ever voting for a conserative.

I have lived in this state long enough to know that unless Giuliani runs for one of these spots, the line of electable candidates the party will back is very short. I have also dumped enough money down the useless hole that is NY’s Republican Party- no thanks on the send money and we will find the right guy, been there, done that.

I have walked out of more local Republican Party meetings, than I have attended in whole. It’s an incestuous bunch, probably much like the Democratic Party- which get’s elected irrespective of Paterson’s incompetence, Spitzer’s proclivity for hookers and Silver’s continued assault on taxpayers. Republican’s can spare me the “we have a very liberal electorate and need to temper our views to be successful- sure that’s work well, don’t you think? How about having the guts to preach principals and values instead of kowtowing to power brokers and other miscreants.

NY is the model of American Marxism where people vote for their own demise vis-à-vis years of Democratic government growth, entitlements and other useless spending fueled by confiscation of income (it’s more than taxation). The last vestiges of any wealth will now be removed with the latest tom-foolery over taxes. Then and only then will people realize the futility of Democrat liberalism,

Meanwhile, the NY Republican Party better realize the guy sitting in the back, the “outsider” with no political experience, the person that is less prolix and more precise, the alleged local gadfly who knows the Constitution by heart- is your last best hope to avoid irrelevancy and forestall the coming disaster prepared by Democrats for all. Until this epiphany, abandon all hope ye who enters this state.
