WFP ought to learn how to pick their battles

Seriously.

I also had a WFT moment after I read Michael's post about the WFP. I coincidentally had just finished talking to Dan Garodnick who is also calling for a strategic voting under the WFP banner, but in this case the candidate is Eliot Spitzer.

As you all know, Dan is my NYC Councilman, neighbor and the man who has taken it upon himself to fight the uphill battle of maintaining the already existing affordable housing we have in New York City.

So I called Garodnick to confirm if he had indeed lent his name to a flyer I got under my door the other day. It seems like it was circulated by the Stuyvesant Town Tenants' Association and it's asking for people to vote for Eliot Spitzer under the banner of the Working Families Party, instead of the Democratic Party.

Echoing what is already on the flyer, this is what he had to say:

In light of our challenges this is an opportunity to send a message to our governor and the state Democratic Party that we need to focus on sustaining the affordable housing that already exists in New York City.

The letter is co-signed by Tom Duane (State Senator) and Al Doyle (Tenant Association President).

I personally feel that Spiter and Clinton did not do enough about the Stuyvesant sell-out. So I think this is a brilliant opportunity to ... how should I say this ... smack some sense into the Democrats without throwing away our vote. I do believe it sends a message about how the Democrats need to make it a priority to end luxury decontrol in New York City, starting now if not November 9th.

So guess who I am voting for governor under the Working Families Party?

Ooooh yeah, baby.

As I've pointed out in some

As I've pointed out in some detail (http://www.r8ny.com/blog/gatemouth/balls_on_the_pope.html), no matter what the voter's local, state, national or international cause, the WFP's solution is always the same: a vote for Eliot Spitzer on the WFP line; as a vehicle for sending a message of any kind, they'd have you believe they offer better service than Western Union.

Reminds me of one of those pattent medicines W.C. Fields used to sell in his films.

Caveat Emptor.
