Schumer Emerges as Deal-Maker With Eye for the Spotlight

NY Times ^ | October 17, 2004 | RAYMOND HERNANDEZ

He has about $21 million for his campaign, and polls show him with a double-digit lead as he runs against Assemblyman Howard Mills of Orange County, who has just $106,918 on hand.

Mills is not Schumer's only opponent. Schumer Ducking Election Debate with Challengers. Mills might come in third place. Dr. Marilyn O'Grady in running on the Conservative line.

FReepmail me if you want on or off my New York ping list.

Schmuck Chumer never saw a camera he didn't like. He is the Jewish Jesse Jackson in that regard.

Do you think that Hillary might prefer to be New York's SENIOR rather than junior senator? Chuckie sucks up a lot of press in NY.

[neverdem]

LOL! Captures him to a T.

[ItsForTheChildren]

I suppose the "emerges" refers to the "deal-making." He's always been like a moth when it comes to the spotlight.

[Dr.Deth]

Who? Oh you mean Upchuck Schemer!

Chuch Schumer is one of Capitol Hill's leading camera hounds. It paid off--he'll win by a landslide.

I was going to post that it is well known that one of the
most dangerous things to do is to get between Chuckie Schumer
and a TV camera but your post renders it redundant.

As strange as it sounds, that would be a Godsend. I have witnessed Schumer in politics far longer than her highness. He is the most repulsive liberal in the whole Congress, IMHO.

There was a case of Mad Cow or something about a year ago. Announced on a weekend, Chuckie was the first and only
member of Congress to head for a camera, and he's not even on the agricultural committee.

Spouting something about the greedy slaughterhouses.

[Clemenza]

Aaron Zellman from JPFO would agree with you...

[Daner313]

The most unsafe place in America is between Schmuck Schumer and a TV camera. A skillful politician is he.

There was a case of Mad Cow or something about a year ago. Announced on a weekend, Chuckie was the first and only member of Congress to head for a camera,
....something that would drive any cow mad would be to pipe taped debates between Al Damato and Chuckie Shumer into the barn. These guys have developed a new kind of abrasive New York accent ... sort of a butch hairdresser kind of thing ...it's sheer audio torture that makes most Americans ... and their cows ill.

And that other NY guy, Cuomo, always billed as a great orator, would put any cow with half a brain to sleep.

[Calvin Locke]

Cuomo, always billed as a great orator,...

One speech...

have developed a new kind of abrasive New York accent ... sort of a butch hairdresser kind of thing...

Schumer and Bloomberg, definitely. Can't quite remember D'Amato's accent.

I still don't believe the New York Post endorsed Schumer. He needs to be held to account for blocking judicial nominations and his liberal voting record on non-security issues. That being said, Howard Mills is an unappealing RINO. I'll be voting for the conservative party candidate, Dr. O'Grady. I hope she comes in second to show these RINOs that we're sick and tired of voting for them.

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

Well, at least that explains all those damn Schumer ads on the tube.

They're not as repulsive as the ones that hispanic representative are running with Al "You've got to be kidding me" Sharpton in them.

His whiny, prissy voice is unbearable. Only a state like New York would elect a nudnik like Schumer.
