Dems put distance between selves and Sampson, Smith, Adams

It's triage time. The New York Times:

[Democratic candidate for Attorney General] Mr. Schneiderman said Thursday that he would return $76,000 in contributions made to his campaign this year by the campaigns of Mr. Sampson; the Senate president, Malcolm A. Smith; and Senator Eric Adams, all of whom were criticized in the [NY Inspector General's] report.

“The allegations reported today are beyond disturbing — they are horrendous,” Mr. Schneiderman said in a statement, adding that “out of an abundance of caution and to avoid even an appearance of conflict, I have directed my campaign to return any and all contributions from those cited in this report.”

With the Daily News today calling for Sampson's head on a pike, Dean Skelos probably already measuring the drapes, and even glam New York Magazine seeing the benefits of a Democratic minority to an all-but-certain Governor Cuomo, you have to wonder how many more Democrats are getting ready to mail their rebate checks.
