Choices for the Senate

[WNYresident]

Hey, don't shoot the messenger. I'm not endorsing anyone; I'm just throwing the options out there.

Put the options up.

[CSense]

Put the options up.

Democrat Party
Mike Kuzma
Sean Cooney
Bill Stachowski (i)*
Tim Kennedy^

Republican Party
Quinn, Jr.

Independence Party
Will flow from Pigeon, I'm betting Tim K (see backroom deals)

Conservative Party
This will be interesting, I'm betting Quinn, simply because he's in the race, although I could see Tim K via Pigeon, I think Stach loses this line (where is Knowsitall?)

Working Families Party
Stooge for a payout, I'm betting Stach via Lenihan

(i) incumbent
* perennially despised yet always elected (see Volker)
^ hack, puppet to the master

For the most part I think you've picked the lines. Stack will get the Conservatives I think and Working Families. Figure it out: If Stack loses to Kennedy, any Dem who hates Kennedy will vote for Stack on another line (other than Republican). Quinn gets in. Kennedy's plan to help the Republicans (again) works out perfectly.

[Stevenco]

I have no confidence in any of those candidates.

I would officially like to nominate:

Salma Hayek

[DomesticatedFeminist]

I think Jim O should run then we can hold a protest outside his fundraiser!!

So this probably what the general will look like....

Democrat Party Line
Bill Stachowski (i)

Republican Party Line
Jack Quinn, Jr.

Independence Party Line
Tim K

Conservative Party
Bill Stachowski

Working Families Party
Bill Stachowski

And I will probably vote for Kennedy over Stakowski because Stakowski is too socially conservative. Face it the race is between Stakowski and Kennedy.

You have problem with numbers, am I right? It's not a Kennedy - Stach race, it's a Dem - Quinn race.

If Stach holds onto the Dem line and at least one more line (WF) and your boy Kennedy takes one line (Indy), then the Dems will self destruct upon each other giving the race to Jack. In order for a dem to win, it needs to be mono e mono race.

In all seriousness, how could Stach even qualify for the CON line?? I mean he did seem quite happy to pass last years budget!

This is the USA. Your are allowed to waste your vote as you see fit

The issue with NYS is spending. Money pissed away like it's never going to end and it's hurting NYS and our community. Well it hurts the people who have to work to generate the revenue. If you are on the receiving end I guess it's all fine and good.

Bill should not have taken the easy route and voted yes. He just enabled more of what we have an issue with... over spending and over taxation causing families to be broken apart because of jobs and businesses to leave our area... He can tap dance all he wants for his reason for voting yes. If he has conservative support then act like it.

Same way liberal republicans get the line

[Dougles]

In order for a dem to win, it needs to be mono e mono race.

And man was it close 2 years ago! And since the Stach has passed 8 BILLION in taxes increases and who know how much more will come this year!

Don't worry Dougie, you have your pal Mike Ranzenhofer looking after your best interests.....The guy who is just keeping the seat warm until a vacancy occurs for some judge's seat....

Come on! You expected me to vote for a Liberal brain dead boxer whose probably never been to Albany in his life?

[knowsitall]

OK, I see your point. But don't give Ranzenhofer too much credit.....
