The Democrats took one step closer to tossing Paterson overboard:
“A meeting of Democratic leaders from more than a dozen upstate New York counties shows a continuing rift within the party over whether Gov. David Paterson should end his election bid. No vote was taken in Saturday’s private meeting that excluded the state party’s leadership. Rockland County Democratic Chairman Vincent Monte says there was overwhelming support at the meeting for Andrew Cuomo, the attorney general who hasn’t said whether he will run for governor …”
They have to make a decision soon. I can’t see this being put off for much longer.
The Buffalo News on self-defense in Niagara Co., “Homeowners confront intruders with gunfire.”
The Times Herald-Record talks with Wallkill gunsmith John Blauvelt about smithing and some politics. He’s a good man.
Bill Hilts reports last year was a record breaking year for hunter safety in New York.
The Times Herald-Record article about gunsmith John Blauvelt is one of the best articles I have seen. Blauvelt made some great statements and the T H-R quoted him accurately. (That is a great surprise!!) The T H-R also did not include the normal quotes from anti-gun people or anti-gun jabs.
Blauvelt is my gunsmith and he does do great work.

Can’t imagine Cuomo not becoming Governor or Senator
unless he decides that he doesn’t either.
Reasons: Takes populist causes; no known scandals; effective; high approval ratings
Despite that Cuomo has taken a hard line with Wall Street, I believe Bloomberg would provide campaign financing.
Reason: Both despise the Second Amendment. Oaths of office notwithstanding.
I have no reason to believe Bloomberg would donate to a Cuomo for Gov. campaign.
I put the reason that he might bankroll a Cuomo campaign in my post.
I don’t think they are valid reasons. Cuomo has piles of cash and I cannot recall Bloomberg ever expressing any interest in him.
