Blogging from me will be light here, as I take to Bob’s campaign blog on his tour across the state.
Keep up with where he is here, and have a happy Halloween!

Wow.

I tell you, the venom coming from the Poisson camp is getting so bad and so ridiculus that the “Poison” insults of Dick Black now sound prophetic.

Greg Stone employed some in-your-face retaliatory tactics and Ric James writes it up nicely here.  Shameful.  Poisson can’t be confident of sticking around if he’s stooping this low.

On one hand, it’s hard not to blame Del. Chuck Caputo for constantly and desperately spreading mistruths about his opponent and his own record. He was elected on a fluke in 2005 (the long-standing incumbent was ousted in the primary, creating an open seat) and was able to survive in 2007 by benefiting from a great political climate despite being outworked on the ground.

A week ago, this race could have gone either way. While I think this race sets a horrible precedent for us as a party, supporting conservative candidates over our parties nominees, I understand the importance of retaining this seat.

That all said, I just donated to Doug Hoffman. If you feel like doing so, you can here.

The NRCC looks to be backing away from Dede Scozzafava in NY-23.
