I went to the debate tonight and to be honest, I wish these two were the leading candidates. At least in November we would have a decent choice for governor.

Once again Spitzer blew off Western New York, once again he showed us he is above the rest of us, he sickens me. He is just one of the many problems we have in this state.

Like Tom said.. The state is a 113 Billion dollar corporation and Spitzer is the attorney. He has gone after Wall Street, the music industry but has done nothing positive to effect the bottom line of the state. Wall St and the Music industry didn’t raise your taxes, Albany did.

Suozzi is by far the best candidate I have seen in years, he is forth right, honest about what ailes this state, he is not afraid to say it as he sees it. If I were a Democrat he would get my vote, so instead he will get the vote of all my Democrat friends and supporters, and I do have alot of them.

If he can’t win the state, he can at least win Western New York. That alone will send a strong message to down state that we are sick and dam tired of everything that you do to benefit the power brokers, and everything you don’t do to help us here in Western New York.

Suozzi, Faso warn of growing upstate-downstate rift

ALBANY, N.Y. — Democrat Tom Suozzi and Republican John Faso warned upstate voters Tuesday night that they are on the losing side of the upstate-downstate divide, and losing ground.

Faso and Suozzi said powerful politicians from New York City and Albany are insulated from the pain of most New Yorkers because of the benefits of Wall Street and Broadway in Manhattan and, in Albany, state government’s rampant spending and its spinoff commerce.

The arguments were aimed in part at front-running Democrat Eliot Spitzer of Manhattan, who has served two terms in Albany with the current power structure. Faso and Suozzi noted that, again, Spitzer declined the face-to-face confrontation a week before the Sept. 12 Democratic primary.

“People downstate don’t understand what’s going on” upstate, said Suozzi, a native Long Islander and current Nassau County executive. “They think the reason the economy is bad in Buffalo is because it’s cold outside … so the power base of the politicians in New York City doesn’t realize there is a problem.”

“Why are these state legislators so out of touch?” he asked. He took aim at the powerful and self-protected majorities of both chambers of the Legislature.

“There is no accountability among the Assembly Democrats or the Senate Republicans,” Suozzi said. “There have been more legislators indicted in the past three years than have lost their jobs at the polls.”

The most important vote you could ever cast in this coming Primary will be the one for governor. We don’t have to be stuck with Spitzer, he is the candidate the Democrat machine, the unions, the trial lawyers, the power brokers and lobbyists have forced upon the Democrat voters of this state.

Tom Suozzi has something to say and that is why they locked him out of the convention here this summer.

You can make a difference, if your not a Democrat, call your friends that are and ask them to vote for Suozzi this coming Tuesday. If you are a Democrat Please get to the polls and talk to everyone you know and ask them to do the same. We can make the difference, we can start on the road to real change and reform in this state.
