Actually the Republican Committee's and it's allied soft money comes through again. BW waged a clandestine negative campaign on so many levels, once again hiding behind others. How many of us received the pollster's calls smearing his opponents or the directed smear mailers? But he comes off untarnished. Now he and his cronies have a lot to prove over the next 4 years. I hope the people of Amherst won't settle for Buffalo metro standards now that the Repubs control Amherst and Erie Cty with a veto proof legislature.
