Andrew Cuomo endorsed Eric Schneiderman for Attorney General. Mayor Bloomberg, who is backing Dan Donvan, said this about Schneiderman:
“… You always get worried when you have a candidate for attorney general that wants to use that office to enact a social agenda …”
Right. But it’s ok for him to do that with MAIG.
Republicans are trying to push Rick Lazio out of the Governors race. It’s unclear if he’s going to go. Lazio would have to either accept a judicial nomination, move out of state or drop dead to be removed from the CP gubernatorial line.
It’s also unclear as to who will be Carl Paldino’s running mate. Greg Edwards won the GOP and CP primaries for Lt. Governor, but Tom Ognibene has that slot on the Taxpayers line, making the GOP ticket Paladino/Edwards, CP ticket Lazio/Edwards and Taxpayers ticket Paladino/Ognibene. Edwards has started campaigning as Paladino running mate, but I have not heard any formal statement by Paladino’s campaign.
The NRA endorsed Nan Hayworth in CD-19.
The Brady’s endorsed Carolyn McCarthy in CD-4.
In AD-150, Republican candidate Andrew Goodall claims to have the support of local sportmen’s groups as he is in favor of allowing big game rifle hunting in Chautauqua County. Meanwhile, Democrat candidate Nancy Bargar has set up a “Advisory Committee on Fish and Wildlife issues.”
I always get worried when there’s a candidate for mayor of NYC that wants to use that office to enact a social agenda. That’s what I get worried about. But Bloomberg is becoming a caricature of himself, and that’s a good thing.
