the two iffiest offices, ones that could go either way, are the race for New York Attorney General and New York State Comptroller. The attorney general contest is between Manhattan resident and Democratic state Sen. Eric Schneiderman and Staten Island District Attorney Dan Donovan. snip although the chances of Gillibrand’s opponent, Joe DioGuardi, catching fire are still a possibility, albeit a long shot. snip The race for Attorney General is a lot more problematic for the Democrats. First of all, Schneiderman, never known as Mr. Personality among his colleagues in the state Senate, is not thought to be a favorite...

The outlook for Republicans in congressional races continues to just brighten and brighten, leaving the GOP easily on track to retake control of Congress, snip why will Republicans do so well? “Opposition to the stimulus package and Obamacare are the two key elements driving this election,” snip Here’s how Morris sees seven key Senate races: New York – snip But Gillibrand has the advantage of beginning her ads two weeks ago. “DioGuardi only has the money to start now,” Morris says. “I think that race will close quickly.” snip Delaware – Republican Christine O’Donnell has closed her gap behind Chris...

Mayor Bloomberg waded into the thicket of the attorney general's race today, praising Republican candidate Dan Donovan as somebody who would be "a spectacular attorney general," while back-handedly slapping his Democratic opponent, state Senator Eric Schneiderman. I think [Donovan] would focus on what he needs to do going forward as attorney general, and that is enforce the law, prosecute people when they break the law, and leave being governor to the governor. You always get worried when you have a candidate for attorney general that wants to use that office to enact a social agenda. I don't think that's good....

NEW YORK - Joe DioGuardi, Conservative Party nominee and GOP candidate for the U.S. Senate, scored a victory in the U.S. Senate race's first debate today. DioGuardi highlighted his plan to create jobs in New York by putting a greater focus on infrastructure development, cutting wasteful government spending, and improving the federal accounting process. "The people deserve to know exactly who they are voting for," said DioGuardi. "It is no mystery that Gillibrand has been hiding from Empire State voters this entire campaign. Clearly, she wants to hide her flip-flops on issues, her involvement in the subprime mortgage crisis, and...

Oklahoma voters may be voting on a "shariah ban" in November. SQ 755 would amend the Oklahoma state constitution by forbidding state courts from considering shariah or other forms of international law in their rulings. The measure specifically refers to shariah. State Rep. Rex Duncan (R-Sand Springs), chief author of the measure, said “SQ 755 will constitute a pre-emptive strike against Shariah law coming to Oklahoma.” He alleged that courts in the UK are enforcing shariah, and that this was a "cancer" for the UK. “Shariah law coming to the U.S. is a scary concept,” said State Sen. Anthony Sykes,...

07/26/2010 3:14 PM By: Beth Wurtmann GLENVILLE - Tenants of the Shady Lane Apartments stood in support of their management company and a rental agent who are being sued for racial discrimination. This came after state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo sued Socha Management and agent Deana Tope on July 6, accusing both of discriminating against minorities and families at the complex. Over 100 tenants gathered at a rally Monday morning organized by Socha Management. The business says it has a diverse population of tenants, but most appeared to be senior citizens. In an undercover investigation, Cuomo said black testers applying...

Having worked in Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Islam and the home of its most extreme form, Wahhabism, I was shocked that a New York City neighborhood community board, in its ignorance, recently voted 29 to 1 to support a request to build a mosque and a Muslim center near Ground Zero. Muslims have always built mosques on the sites of their conquests. snip They built mosques on the sites of thousands of temples throughout India. The request to build a mosque near the site of the World Trade Center is not accidental. It is astute and deliberate, as is...

Alert: Urgent! Oppose Reproductive Health Act. Possible action by Friday. The Reproductive Health Act would define abortion as a ?fundamental right,? making it impermissible to regulate it, even for minors and even very late in pregnancy. Do what: Contact your Senator and Assemblyperson in Albany. When: Immediately ? Monday! The current session would normally be expected to end on June 28, and if this bill is to see action it would be this week. If a budget is not passed, the session will be extended in some way, but we cannot count on that. Why now: The Democrat leadership may...

When my husband and I went to Mass last evening, unfortunately our parish priest was ill, so a guest priest said Mass. When he read the Gospel, he changed He to she. Later the substitute priest said we really don't know if the Holy Spirit is a he or a she. Later he said, wouldn't the altar girl make a good priest some day, even though the Vatican said women priests is a closed issue. It won't happen. There were a few other things, but those were the things that bothered me the most. Here is the gospel, where he...

Rubio backs abortion ultrasound bill Posted May 7, 2010 by William March Updated May 7, 2010 at 03:35 PM Marco Rubio says he thinks Gov. Charlie Crist should sign HB 1143, a bill that would require women seeking an abortion to have an ultrasound scan, and would force many employers to stop offering employee health coverage that covers abortions. “It is my hope that Governor Crist will come down on the side of life,” Rubio said in a news release today. He called the ultrasound requirement “an important step toward providing women with vital information during perhaps the most critical...

Three Border Patrol agents are assaulted on the average day at or near the U.S. border. Someone is kidnapped every 35 hours in Phoenix, Ariz., often by agents of alien smuggling organizations. And one-in-five American teenagers last year used some type of illegal drug, many of which were imported across the unsecured U.S.-Mexico border

STATEMENT ATTRIBUTED TO MICHAEL CAPUTO CAMPAIGN MANAGER PALADINO FOR THE PEOPLE March 20, 2010 Carl Paladino is deeply disappointed in the Conservative Party for not having the courtesy to allow us to compete in what turns out not to be a democratic process. It’s a shame that a personality conflict between Ed Cox and Mike Long has forced the Conservative Party to choose a weak candidate who’s a certain loser and who doesn’t support key tenets of the Party platform. Today’s endorsement of pro-abortion banking lobbyist Rick Lazio for governor may mean the end of the Conservative Party. The Paladino...

A very knowledgeable insurance woman called Rush Limbaugh today, and told Rush that people won't see the increase in insurance premiums until AFTER the November elections, because insurance premiums don't increase until the January of each year. So parents will see their adult children covered, and seniors will see that "whooping" $250 toward their drugs, but won't see the increase in premiums or rationing yet. Take action: Call a talk show, write a letter to the editor, and talk with everyone you know and let them know the "other" side that LMSM won't tell them.

House Scheme: Approving Health Care Without a Vote? It seems that with each day comes a new legislative scheme in an effort to ram a dangerous, pro-abortion health care plan through Congress. Now, House Speaker Pelosi appears to be turning to what can only be described as an unconstitutional scheme to get health care through. It's become increasingly clear that the Speaker cannot find enough votes to pass the Senate health care bill, and now with the pressure intensifying to meet President Obama's self-imposed deadline of next week, Speaker Pelosi appears to be turning to a new legislative gimmick. This...
