The NY Times doled out two big endorsements for the upcoming Democratic primaries this weekend: One for Attorney General and the other for Governor. And Mark Green, the former city Public Advocate, gets the nod, even though the editoral starts out, "If there are excellent Democratic candidates for governor this year, the race to succeed Attorney General Eliot Spitzer is a lot more contentious and a lot less promising." Green's "prickly personality" is noted, as is "when elected, he has always repaid voters by doing the job well." While Andrew Cuomo's mixed record at HUD is cited as enough to make being AG questionable.
And of the "excellent candidates" for Governor, the Times
And you may have received your orange flyers from the Board of Elections telling you where and when to vote: For registered Democrats and Republicans, the primary is on September 12, while the general election is on November 7.

I really hate "uncontested elections", even when I like the candidates; when I don't, I detest them. Corzine bought his way into the senate, got bored with no executive power and then bought his way into the governorship. Bloomberg bought his way into the Republican party and swept aside Badillo in 2001.
Now we have Spitzer, who has so many commercials already that it would be impossible for Suozzi to stand any chance. Incredibly, the Republicans might as well not exist either. Where are their commercials?
One would think that people would not vote because of who has more TV exposure but the fact that Corzine, Bloomberg bought their elections and now Spitzer is on his way shows me that the majority of voters are cattle.
No one stood a chance against Spitzer anyway.
Democrats had plenty of chances against Bloomberg. They chose a race to the far, far left. That they lost should have been a wake up call that the moderates are the silent majority. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me four mayoral elections in a row. . . .
don't blame me, I wanted Wiener to win.
The Democratic primary is September 12th. And support Sean Patrick Maloney for attorney general.
New York Times endorses Democrats. In other breaking news, water is wet and the sky is still blue.
