What does this mean?
Two votes for Wendy from us.
I had to re-read this 3x; I thought this was a “best hamburger” thread. Need coffee & breakfast. Sorry. LOL.
Being a conservative political activist in New York, I rarely feel optimistic about politics. But this year that has changed. I have gotten to see Wendy Long in action. She is a principled conservative who is a superb campaigner. The Republican establishment is doing what they can to deny her the Party’s nomination but Wendy has been driving the Empire State and winning over Republican primary voters. Be sure to vote on Tuesday. And get your family and friends to vote for Wendy Long.
If these two paragraphs from Maragos’s wiki entry are correct, he’s essentially a Democrat:
“Maragos said he supports raising the debt ceiling in exchange for spending cuts, cutting subsidies for oil companies, and bringing home the troops, which would save $200 billion per year he would reinvest in “rebuilding America.”
As part of his plan to create jobs, Maragos would simplify the tax code, removing tax breaks for special interests. He would replace them with incentives for new manufacturing and green jobs, such as “almost no taxation.””

Putting Ms. Long out there before redistricting and seeing how the GOP nomination shakes out was an odd way to play the CP hand. I cannot understand politicians who have an ego big enough to be talked into a United States Senate race without ever having won a general election of any kind — not even dog catcher.
The best choice on Tuesday, 26Jun is Bob Turner. Turner has a shot in November because he will cut into the support the Rats need in NYC to overcome the more conservative upstaters — the ones that gave Paladino a landslide victory in the 2010 primary.
Manhattan attorney Wendy Long has been declared the winner in the GOP race Long ran against Rep. Bob Turner of Queens and Nassau County Comptroller George Maragos. Long has the Conservative Party line on the November ballot, which she says is needed by any Republican who hopes to win.
