Was just in the district a couple of days this week.....this seat will most likely go Republican again. It is a fairly conservative district.
Here is the big question “WHO knew WHAT, WHEN!” Wasn’t the Mark Foley incident the beginning of that phrase. Dems just had to know exactly when Hastert was informed about Foley’s indiscretions. For Pete’s sake, I think I recall that they wanted the whole leadership of the Republican Party to resign.
I wish I could believe that. But, I can't. I think this is part of a highly orchestrated dance to get a YES vote in that seat. (Chicago thuggery!)
“Special Selection.”
But the county party bosses get to pick the candidate.
Messa: Asked why he then voted against the House bill, which did have one, he explained that it would have only been available to 2% of the population. “Wouldn’t you rather accept half a loaf,” someone asked. “Yes, if the half a loaf isn’t laced with cyanide,” he replied.
He was a NO Vote, to be replaced by a Yes-Drone on Obamacare
Yep.
They saw what happened up north. I think they are smarter now. At least I hope, but it is NY.
Be interesting to see where the staffer ends up...
You failed to mention that General Clark led the raid on Waco during the Clinton administration. That raid took the lives of 80 plus people, 36 of them being women and children.
Weasely-Massa— Clinton - Reno — What a twisted bunch. And yes...you are absolutely right— we must never forget those inocent victims of Big Brother gone amuk.
Neither here at Waco nor in Serbia.
My first thought was to assume Reed would get the special nomination. (Nothing wrong with him is there?)
More Republicans are now interested since the seat is open.
If Reed is a conservative I’d prefer him since was the only one who wanted to run against Massa.
There might not even be a special. Some are saying it would be a waste of money. The primary for the full term is probably more important than the special election result would be.
if a Republican wins the special, it would tough for Reed or anyone else to continue the effort for the fall primary. I am sure they will fill this seat with a special.
What makes anyone think the NY GOP has anything to learn from NY23? The Albany GOP does not have a candidate for NY20 which they lost a year ago. And they aren’t backing Hoffman in NY23, but rather Will Barclay who is somewhat less liberal than Dede. So, no, they will back one of their own RINO’s. It is up to the county chairs, of course. I am not going to follow their activities too close.
I don’t know enough about Reed, to be honest. I knew Massa was a fluke upset, and wasn’t likely to win a second term. Now we won’t have to worry (unless, of course, if the NY GOP screws up again).
If the Obamacare debate stretches into the summer, that special election could be plenty important.
I would prefer a nominee from the Southern Tier to one from the Rochester suburbs.
House seats have to be filled by an election according to the Constitution; the Senate can be filled by gubernatorial appointment.
Leaving the seat empty is the same as a ‘no’ vote, so hopefully it’ll stay empty.
I kind of doubt the rats engineered this, at least not for the deathcare bill, because there’s no time for a special elecyion before they have their big vote, or at least when they claim they’re going to have their big vote. Now, maybe they knew this stuff about Massa was going to come out and they figured the sooner they booted him the better chance they’d have of keeping the seat for the next congress. They know it’s a conservative district so if they can find what passes for conservative in the rat party who isn’t a queer chasing young men around the halls of government they’d have a better chance. They know that if it’s close, they can steal it with their mastery of vote fraud.
Ouch. Poor little doggy.
