It’s too bad the Republicans in Albany don’t have any ideas about how to work this situation to maximum advantage.
You’d best believe that if the party labels were reversed, there wouldn’t be any such dearth of creativity.
I don't know what the Republican Party in New York State is doing. They've been MIA for a long time. They've never been able to come up with a viable candidates against Schumer or Gillibrand. My district is NY-22, and our Congressional election was tied up in the court until a week ago, when the Judge finally certified Republican Claudia Tenney as the winner. I followed the ongoing coverage online, and in none of the articles was there any mention of the Republican Party helping Tenney. They reported that House Democrats were sending people to the court, and I heard that Perkins-Coie was representing incumbent Brindisi. I tried calling Tenney's Washington office last Friday, but the number they had listed wasn't working. I want to ask someone in her office what the New York Republican State Committee had done to help her since nothing was reported in any news stories.
