In the past, he's been a lock. Now, with some foot in mouth and flipflopping on Espada and a testy opponent in McLaughlin, who knows.<br /><br />Now will McLaughlin pull off an upset, not likely. But he will garner I say 40% of the vote which is more of a reflection of Bronxites who are homeowners and condo owners in Riverdale and especially Woodlawn where they are fed up being associated with the entitlement mentality of many fellow Bronxites combined with the assult of the same old politicians and mental constipation in getting anything done other than selling out to the highest bidder.<br /><br />It takes a lout like Espada and be blatantly brazen in demeanor to get a statewide movement to flush out an incumbent. Mr. Cassino, Ollie Koeppell played it safe and still won 2 to 1, not necessarily any fault of your own, but because the voter base is jaded and apathetic and the only ones sticking their neck out are you and this republican McLaughlin.<br /><br />Now I don't agree with McLaughlin in philosophy, but at least he tells you what is right from wrong. Hopefully Dinowitz takes this minor test as a lesson as to how to handle things in Albany.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554264138811233395.post-38790126772934614072010-11-01T11:54:42.740-07:002010-11-01T11:54:42.740-07:00The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll predicts that Republ...The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll predicts that Republicans will take control of the House of Representatives from Democrats in Tuesday's midterm elections.<br /><br />The national poll found that Americans plan to vote for Republicans over Democratic candidates by 50 percent to 44 percent. This is an edge that will likely give Republicans dozens of seats in the House and significant gains in the Senate.<br /><br />The poll numbers suggest Republicans would win about 231 seats in the House to 204 for the Democrats, but Ipsos pollster Cliff Young said Democrats would retain control of the U.S. Senate with a 53-47 or 52-48 seat advantage.<br /><br />Americans will choose all 435 members of the House on Tuesday and 37 members of the 100-seat Senate. Democrats currently hold significant majorities in both chambers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554264138811233395.post-76077770587117557942010-11-01T11:40:03.206-07:002010-11-01T11:40:03.206-07:00Hopefully, those two Albany creatures named Thomas...Hopefully, those two Albany creatures named Thomas DiNapoli and Eric Schneiderman will loose to HARRY WILSON (Comptroller) and DAN DONOVAN (Attorney General). <br /><br />Messrs.
