Mr. Schumer has been particularly adept at tapping a network of donors on Wall Street as well as other players in New York's securities and banking industry. Democrats are clearly hoping he can do the same for the party.
"Senator Schumer is tough, focused and a formidable fund-raiser,'' said Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, who will be elected minority leader this month. "We need him on our leadership team."
This could be a blessing in disguise for the pubbies nationally. Chuck probably collected the bulk of his donations before Spitzer attacked Wall Street and the insurance industry. Chuck could wind up hurting dem senators in the "red" states because he's so "mainstream" in his own mind, i.e. socialist. When are the pubbies taking back their traditional color, blue?
But, he'll bend over for Junior Senator Hillary.
Translation: Schumer will be running for Governor. As a senator, he already assumes he should be president.
BTW: It was the Leftist media who switched the "colors", always image-managing for their socialist friends, the democrats. Confusing the political discussion through manipulation of the language can be found in any Communism 101 textbook.
The real reason Schumer isn't running for Governor is that he got an adverse ruling that he can't use his left over Senate money for the governor's race.
So he wuld have to start a new campaign fund fron scratch and becuase of that he is well behind others in the fundraising race.
Yea, yea. And Bill Clinton promised he would not run for president if re-elected as governor of Arkansas.
