Kevin Collins, a campaign manager for Mr. Spencer, characterized the campaign by paraphrasing Gandhi.
"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you beat them," Mr. Collins said. "They won't be underestimating John Spencer for long."
FReepers: We need to help John Spencer.

A breath of fresh air to politics, in 1996, Spencer shocked the “experts” became the Republican mayor of overwhelmingly Democrat Yonkers, New York’s fourth-largest city. As mayor, he stood up for conservative principles and what was right for the people he represented.
What others thought of as impossible, he saw as challenges to overcome. He took a stagnant city in decline and changed its image to a city of progress. He revitalized the waterfront, cut taxes that others said couldn't be cut and improved services. John Spencer is proud to run on his life record and on his record as a big-city mayor who pulled a city out from under a state Financial Control Board and federal oversight of its court-ordered desegregation.
At the height of the Vietnam War, when others were avoiding the draft, John Spencer chose to enlist in the United States Army to serve his country. The awesome responsibility of leading men whose very survival depended on him as a young Infantry Lt., shaped and molded him into the leader he is today.
A principled conservative who can win.
We need Hillary in the Senate, she serves as a bad exampleNew Yorkers deserve Schumer and Clinton.
Both of these lame-brain snobs care only about themselves.....nothing about their constituents.
New York is one of those neurotic states that has a Rep. governor and Dem Senators.
Connecticut, I'm afraid is another.
