I wasn't aware that Bill Buckley was a candidate for Governor or Senator as a Republican. His brother, however, was an unapologetic Conservative Party candidate for Senator and, lo and behold, managed to win. Imagine that, in liberal New York.

My, my, my, the little man who wants to put up his "knowledge" against mine, doesn't know that William F. Buckley ran for MAYOR OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK in 1965 and came in a dismal third.

The people were offered a rock ribbed Conservative and they didn't want him. Now, you really do have to know that N.Y.C. had far more Conservatives back then, than it does today, to understand this, but you don't know any of that either. :-)

Geeeeeeeee, imagine that...you think that only N.Y.C. votes to elect a New York STATE Senator and Governor. With your "knowledge" and political expertise, you really should be listened to and respected..............NOT!
