Dumb, Dumber, Dumbest
According to Monday's New York Daily News:
"Senate candidate Jeanine Pirro is set to unleash a one-two endorsement punch from former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Gov. Pataki, sources close to her campaign told the Daily News yesterday." Given their bios, does getting a nod from these two freaks actual constitute a positive event for Pirro?
^^After terrorizing black people for eight years, Rudy Guiliani went on to shill full time for the Republicans, whoring out 9/11 in the name of of the presidential campaign, whose highpoint for Rudy was blaming the troops for Bush's failed war.
^^It's hard for people to believe that George Pataki has reached term limit given that he has accomplished SO LITTLE during his time as NY governor. In total craptastic fashion, he sold out New Yorkers who voted for him based on his moderate positions by vetoing easy access to morning-after pills. Way to go Hacky!
^^Mainly famous for her husband, who is a typically crap-ass baby daddy. Cast from the same mold as Bush, she also has difficulty speaking publically unless it's all spelled out for her in BIG BLOCK LETTERS.
And lemme guess, Mike "no comment" Bloomberg is going to opt out on making an endorsement for this race.

"Have been"

is the proper descriptive. Pataki's approval numbers are at an all time low. I would imagine if anyone checked on Rudy's numbers in the state of New York, they'd be even lower, given his classless riding of our state's worse trajedy during the presidential election.
If Pirro behaves herself and doesn't try too hard to win, Clinton & Co. won't completely bury her with attacks. There are other races to worry about--this is not one of them.
Learning from the GOP
Guiliani and Pataki have been popular political figures. They've been elected again and again over candidates I favored. They appeal to a lot of people as does J. Pirro. I think I (We?) need to figure out how to approach those who elected these guys. There's a serious movement against us out there and we need to understand it and learn from it. For all of the "blue state" talk, NY has had a lot of years of GOP governors, NYC mayors and senators.
DFNYC did something fairly inventive in the fight against the Jets Stadium (or was it really cablevision?) We called republican women voters in Bruno's district to urge them to oppose the stadium. It was a good effort; in my group those called were cordial and responsive. It was, in my view, a way to start a conversation.
