James Buckley elected as the candidate of the Conservative Party of New York State to the United States Senate in 1970, beating both the Republican, Charles Goodell, and Democrat Dick Ottinger and served from January 3, 1971, to January 3, 1977.

Thank you. Now I remember, it's all coming back to me. That was the same year I graduated from SUNY. It think Goodell and Ottinger split the liberal vote. Those were the days. I'd sure like to see something like that happen in NY again but her heinnous won't let that happen again. Count on it.

Ottinger is still upset about the Liberal Party in that race, who endorsed the Republican. It did make a difference.

That's Hillary's plan for 2008. To split the right between a moderate Republican and a principled Conservative. So far a lot of people are falling for it.
