2008-12-04T08:48:03.583-05:00

AS IF...NYC would have a Repub senator representing us? Nah. I guess they might do Cuomo, but he has SO much dirty laundry that is going to show up one of these days. I watched his best friend go to prison years ago and he should have as well.

Sorry---I meant Rep Velasquez---not Councilmember. And yeah, I guess being the first Puerto Rican woman in the House is an impressive credential. I just like Quinn's brand of politics better. She's pretty fearless!

2008-12-04T02:39:49.589-05:00

In 1992 California had 2 contested seats. One was appointed in 1990 after Pete Wilson became governor. The other (2) was an open seat. Seat 1 was held by a Republican fmr. State Senator with low name recognition and tepid support from the right-wing base. Dianne Feinstein ran for Seat 1, and Barbara Boxer ran for Seat 2.

If your appointed incumbent is not very strong, you're making that seat unnecessarily vulnerable. You already lost Clinton, don't lose the seat altogether.

2008-12-03T20:23:00.000-05:00

Yeah but Quinn being openly lesbian might trump being non-white :)Plus I think shes a far better candidate for other reasons---I think she's smarter and has more drive. I was all ready to work for her mayoral campaign :(

2008-12-03T19:32:00.000-05:00

At best Paterson is the accidential governor. Did I mention I was involved in drugs or I had affairs while in office. In the wake of the Spitzer scandal, he tried to inoculate himself, but can't imagine that first impression went well with voters. He certainly is a great story in terms of his personal discipline, but he's a legacy of Democratic politics and grew up in a family where his father was one of the biggest powerbrokers in the state.

The budget situation will certainly blow up in his face. When they start slashing services and benefits, no one in the legislature is going to take the hit. Paterson is just the wrong guy in the wrong place at the wrong time.

He should appoint Cuomo since that's his biggest threat for being elected. Most voters in New York could not have told you who Paterson was when he was picked for the Lt. Gov. spot. Spitzer hardly relied on him after he joined the ticket.

Paterson's act doesn't play well upstate. Rudy can run for either Governor or Senate and could win on a reform candidacy and by 2010 it could look pretty attractive.

While I would like to see Mayor Brown appointed, being from Buffalo I'd rather he not be taken away from us.

2008-12-03T12:56:54.289-05:00

Patterson was elected statewide: the entire point of the Lieutenant Governor's office is to have someone to step in if the governor resigns (or dies, but the two in my lifetime have been resignations).

Cuomo having been elected attorney general is also an argument against appointing him to the senate, since we would then have an appointed attorney general to go with the appointed comptroller and the promoted-from-lieutenant governor.

I like the idea of Senator Quinn, if only to see the apoplexy in some of the small-minded right-wingers at having to work with an open lesbian senator. But if Patterson wants someone from downstate, Velasquez is more likely: Quinn is white.

2008-12-03T11:31:37.051-05:00

I lost any respect for Bloomberg when he shoved term limit thing down the City Council's throats (well, some of THEM wanted a 3rd term too). Plus I HATE how he and Klein have run our schools.

Bill Clinton--no way he's got better things to do. Chelsea's too young. Caroline will be in Obama's cabinet. Andy Cuomo is DIRTY as hell: http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/092106_about_cuomo.shtml

WE NEED SOME NEW BLOOD! Councilwoman Valesquez would be good; Christine Quinn maybe better (she'd be our next mayor if not for the term limits stuff).

2008-12-03T08:08:58.659-05:00

I'd love to see Kirsten Gillibrand, the representative from the 20th, in the Senate -- she's in a weird district in which she has to appeal to Republicans and Democrats, she's pretty good on accountability and transparency, and she's been through a nasty election campaign and acquitted herself well. I think she'd kick ass.

That said, my money's on Cuomo; if it comes down to it, I'd prefer C. Kennedy, but I feel like she's going to be used in some other fashion in the Obama administration.

2008-12-03T02:35:33.900-05:00

I think Bill Clinton would make an excellent choice for Senate! It’s pretty rare for a former president to stay in politics after their term is up; I can only think of J.Q. Adams, A. Johnson, and W. Taft, but I was actually surprised that Clinton didn’t seek another office. He was still relatively young, still very popular, and seemed like a lifelong politician. I guess eight years in the toughest job in politics changed that. The three guys I mentioned were all one termers. Honestly, he would make a much better Secretary of State than his wife! Not that I don’t think she’ll be an excellent one.

Oh, and I’m glad I’m not the only one that thinks there’s a slight chance Hillary will run for governor (thanks Amol!) Someone thought I was smoking something for suggesting that on an earlier post.

2008-12-02T18:48:54.519-05:00

So NY's choices are the Clinton dynasty, the Kennedy dynasty, or the Cuomo dynasty? How about somebody who made it on their own merits, like Brown or Velasquez?

And in Illinois, signs are pointing to the Jesse Jackson dynasty, and Delaware might get Beau Biden in a couple of years...

2008-12-02T17:35:23.696-05:00

Andrew Cuomo's my first choice, as is Jesse Jackson Jr. (or Lisa Madigan) in Illinois and Beau Biden in Delaware. But I would definately put Bill Clinton #1 if he wanted the seat. Saying that, having Bill replace Hillary would come off as bit too gimicky.

I wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea doesn't end leaving her hedge fund gig and up with some kind of job in Treasury crunching numbers or playing with bailout money (Neel Kashkari's replacement?)

2008-12-02T17:27:36.852-05:00

Caroline Kennedy is the most obvious choice to fill her Uncle Bobby's Senate seat. Yes, it's the same one that he was elected to in 1964. 2006 - 1964 = 42. 42 is evenly divisible by 6 (years, as in 6-year term). And she helped Obama in her NY Times op-ed piece and her subsequent campaigning for him. With Ted about to die, we need Caroline in the Senate more than ever!

2008-12-02T17:27:02.118-05:00

i like that obama has been bringing a lot of elected officials into the administration and creating vacancies, it leaves room for new talent to rise up, which is good for the democratic party. keeps it from becoming stagnant and entrenched.

someone asked for data? the data that i'd like to see is .. how many vancanies has obama created, and how does the number of vacancies created rank historically. how normal or abnormal is this.

538 feed our data hunger!

2008-12-02T17:04:35.377-05:00

hill.tops: Yeah, because Massachusetts is, after all, the only state with three Senators.

I don't think Giuliani is worth ignoring at all in the governor's race. I don't know if Patterson is going to be able to cover the deficit, but I'm just about certain that he isn't going to look pretty trying. The whole noun-verb-9/11 schtick isn't a crowd-pleaser for Rudy anywhere in the state, but memories of being a competent leader in a crisis might be if Patterson is stymied by a pro-union Legislature.
