Educational publisher Corwin Press has abandoned any pretense of objectivity and has openly embedded its politi cal agenda into much of its material. Corwin Press, a professional development book publisher, is no longer interested in producing academic material designed to teach children how to think, rather, has set its sights on teaching students what to think. The company, which was established in 1990, has taken a hard left turn over the past five years, so much so that the publisher has abandoned any pretense of objectivity and has openly embedded its political agenda into much of its material. In January,...

Apparently anticipating a tight race, Republican Jane Corwin took the first step toward a recount by getting a court order from the New York Supreme Court preventing a certification of a winner in the special election in New York’s 26th district, taking place today, until a show-cause hearing is held before a judge later this week, the Buffalo News reports. The order was signed by State Supreme Court Justice Russell P. Buscaglia, following a petition filed by Corwin on Monday. The show-cause hearing would be on Thursday, at the earliest. Until that court hearing, “the judge also impounded all voting...

I'm so glad this will be over today. The 10 calls a day from the candidates and related groups are just out of hand. Last evening, I got a really obvious push poll call from from the Hochul camp asking how I felt about Corwin wanting to to end Medicare. I hung up on them after that dumbass question. Even funnier though was the Davis volunteer who showed up at my door step on Sunday. I told her that I don't really like or trust Davis. You should have seen her face when she asked why and I told her...

Raleigh, N.C. – Democrat Kathy Hochul continues to appear poised for an upset victory in Tuesday's special election for Congress in New York's 26th Congressional District. She is polling at 42% to 36% for Republican nominee Jane Corwin and 13% for Tea Party candidate Jack Davis. Since a PPP poll of the race two weeks ago Hochul has gained 7 points of support and Corwin has gained 5 while Davis has dropped by 11. It appears that Hochul has done a good job of staying above the fray as the campaign has taken on an increasingly negative tenor in its...

The next step in the rebuilding of the Republican Party in New York will come on Tuesday, May 24, in the 26th congressional district, where in the special election to fill the seat from which Christopher Lee resigned the Sun urges a vote for Assemblywoman Jane Corwin. This special election should be a Republican slam dunk, but the Tea Party is backing a former Democratic candidate, Jack Davis, who is funding his own campaign and could siphon enough votes from Mrs. Corwin to lead in this Republican district to the election of the candidate of the Democratic-Working Families combination, Kathy...

NY's 26th District Republican Needs HelpSeveral varieties of deception are threatening to turn the vacant seat blue. The race to succeed the chest-baring, Craigslist-dabbling congressman Chris Lee in upstate New York has not received much national notice. Events in Abbottobad have crowded out other stories. But Democrats are excited by a Siena College poll suggesting the possibility of an upset in the May 24 election. New York’s 26th congressional district stretches from the suburbs east of Buffalo to the suburbs west of Rochester — a mostly rural, white, and Republican part of New York. As Michael Barone notes in The...

John A. Boehner, the House speaker, plans to visit upstate New York on Monday to support the struggling campaign of a Republican candidate who is running for a vacant seat in Congress. Mr. Boehner’s appearance underscores the national stake in the race, and reflects the changing fortunes of the candidate, Jane L. Corwin, a popular state lawmaker who experts in both parties had once thought would win handily in the 26th Congressional District, which is heavily Republican. In recent weeks, Ms. Corwin has watched her advantage in the race all but disappear as her Democratic rival, Kathy Hochul, seized upon...

Republican leaders from New York's 26th district have picked a candidate to run in the upcoming special election for the seat. The district has been without representation since former Rep. Chris Lee left the House on Feb. 9 after the website Gawker.com reported the married Republican solicited a romantic encounter over the Internet, even sending the woman a photo of himself where he is shirtless. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) has 30 days to call a special election after a vacancy is declared, although it's unclear when that will happen. Meanwhile, GOP leaders from the seven counties in the...
