Who could have ever imagined the end game? There were so many twists and turns to follow that nobody could have predicted. NY-23 was put on the map so to speak and we saw a lot of national attention focused on the special election in the fall. Unfortunately, there also seemed to be a real lack of detailed local news coverage on the race up until the final week. That is part of the impetus of this project which is meant to constructively cover the NY-23 race throughout 2010. Certainly there will be a lot to write about and we will see new questions and issues that come out in the weeks and months ahead.
- Who can win the Republican nomination for Congress?
- What can Obama and the Democrat Congress accomplish post-2009?
- Will Bill Owens build enough support to win his re-election?
- How will other local and state-wide races affect NY-23?
- What will Dede Scozzafava do next?
- Can the Tea Party Movement sustain itself in 2010?
- What personalities and issues will be at the forefront of our local politics?
- And on and on and on (I hope you get the point).
I welcome your input, your comments, and your suggestions as we begin to explore "What's Up in NY-23."
Interesting beginning to your blog (I came in her from Ted's blog). I'm wondering though, if you're going to cover the "rest of" the 23rd (other than north country).
ReplyDeleteThe NY 23 is still the most commented on race in 2009 in national politics. For conservatives it highlights the wrong direction of the party. The 2010 NY 23 race will be the epicenter for congressional this year regardless of candidate. The republicans must support Hoffman if he chooses to run or look more foolish than in 2009.
