My gut feeling is that it is for the best IF we can get a strong challenger to Periello. I dont say this with animosity to Goode, who I liked a lot, but because the history of people trying to win back a lost seat doesnt look very promising to me.
I hadn’t heard of him so I didn’t know if he was a ‘goode’ senator or not. Wish we had some good ones in Central NY. Schumer and Gillibrand are my senators. Yechhh.
