"We should be willing to cross party lines to support the best candidate." Dr. Wyne said he did not know how his support of McMahon would affect his position as borough GOP finance chair. "I'm still a GOP party member," he said.

Hopefully, not any more. Support the best candidate, but if it's not the GOP candidate, drop out of the GOP.

This is a very good turn of events. Fort whatever reason, McCain is VERY popular on Staten Island. He will get between 68 and 72% on the Island which is 2/3 of the district. There is no senate race as a buffer. Frank is very wealthy. McMahon will have to go heavy pro abortion and pro gay marriage to get a dime from the national rat.There is NO Italian factor so that is even.

Put barack curious george mcgovern around Mike Mc Mahon’s neck and he really doesn’t have much of a chance.

Mike McMahon is a very popular city councilman for Staten Island. I’ve know him for years. He’s going to be a strong candidate. Before this, he there was talk of him running for Borough President. He can’t be underestimated. Powers is largely unknown. Staten Islanders have a history of crossing party lines. Democrats will vote for a Republican and vice versa. I’ll support Powers, but it’s going to be a tough battle.
