What NYS Dems and Repubs have in Common

Come November New York State voters in both major parties will have to hold their noses and up their blood pressure meds before casting their votes for governor.

I have heard life-long loyal Democrats express anger at having to vote for Andrew Cuomo. In my not-so-humble opinion, he just barely scrapes by as the lesser of two evils. Carl Paladino was discovered to have sent out racist, misogynistic and pornographic emails. Cuomo, on the other hand, is reputed to have built a impressive career stepping over the bodies of better men. Many suspect his behind the scene maneuverings in the downfalls of both Elliot Spitzer and David Paterson.

Moving on to the Senate and Assembly races one can only hope a tidal wave will sweep through both bodies and somehow cleanse the slime. Hope is the key word here. Neither party has anything to boast about, but the Democrats actually come out worse following their complete botching of the majority they achieved in the Senate at the last election. A plague on both their houses. Throwing out incumbents should be a voter priority.
