Ugh. Time to vote, “None of the Above.”

I think that Peter King has a regular folks kind of appeal which would contrast well against Princess Caroline. King isn’t the ideal candidate, but he appears to be the best we can get in New York.

...the Long Island Congressman had a favorable meeting with GOP leaders

When oh when are the capitulating spineless RINOs going to be purged from this formerly Grand Old Party so it can begin to rebuild?

Too funny - I hope the King dethrones the Princess! I really hope she doesn’t get the seat...

I think I misread that...I took it as Kennedy had the meeting with GOP leaders. Oops. Guess I should stick to my own threads :)

King is strong on WOT but lost me with his vote on the socialist bail-out.

Given that this is New York, and we’re not about to elect another James Buckley, I think King is certainly the best the Republicans can hope for. I’m hoping Patterson does appoint Kennedy, since she’d be a much weaker candidate in two years than Cuomo.

It will have to happen in the safe Republican states first. New York is not one of those.

I have thought for some time that “None of the Above” should be on the ballot as an option.
I think one state does have this.
I will never forget that Richard Pryor movie, Brewster’s Millions” where he ran for Mayor of New York and told everyone to vote that way.
If we as voters had had that option in 2008 for President I would have voted that way and I wonder just how many others would have voted that way also.

What song had that as a constant refrain in the lyrics??
As I think about right now writing it was a Bill Withers song.

The only type of Republican who can win in NY is a RINO. Period.

There are times King bothers the hell out of me, but on national security, few have been stronger or more vocal. And, he is SO New York. He can even drag out all the old pix of him with Slick WIllie to show the NY Dem voters he’s not one to fear.

Assuming a Kennedy appointment (which I don’t, necessarily) that will be one fun election to watch.

Either Peter King or Rudy Giuliani are the strongest GOP possibilities for this Senate seat, and Rudy is interested in running for N.Y. Governor. The GOP should have some strong candidates in N.Y.

I am not optimistic that the GOP can defeat Princess Caroline. No matter who the candidate may be.

Probably never, but it doesn't matter in this case. King will not be considered for the seat -- hellooooo? He's a Republican. This article is so full of it that Al Gore will probably suggest levying a methane tax.

I heard Rudy is trying to get a radio talk show gig. If he gets the radio job, he may forgo the Governor contest.
