It's too soon for jokes

I wish I could laugh, but I'm sad...might as well be bush winning all over again.
I don't get it. I just don't get it.

At the very least now we can hold Jeffries to his literature that says he will fight for the protection of the abuse of eminent domain......we'll see how quickly he reneges from his campaign.

sigh so sad, so very sad.

Does't feel like the liberal town we pretend it is....

Oh come on. Stop being so

Oh come on. Stop being so melodramatic. This is nothing even remotely close to someone like Bush winning the race. There is nothing that's not liberal about Clarke's record.

Other results

Other results, Bill Batson got pounded by Hakeem Jeffries:

57 AD
HAKEEM JEFFRIES 5,770 64%
WILLIAM BATSON 2,226 25%
FREDDIE HAMILTON 1,008 11%

I think Hakeem will be a fine assemblyman and I congratulate him, but I feel badly for Bill Batson who is a quality person and I hope he runs for office again sometime.

Poll

Only in New York

We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering.

You ask, what is our policy? I say it is to wage war by land, sea, and air. War with all our might and with all the strength God can give us, to wage war against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy.

You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs - Victory in spite of all terrors - Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival.

— Winston Churchill
