| 40. More innuendo and bullshit completely ignoring... |
|
that Gillibrand was on local short lists long before Kennedy thought about the seat. And that Kennedy has pretty much zilch support in this state, which is not to be confused with that other state up there somewhere that the Kennedys are rumored to own.
Latest poll says only 25% of actual New Yorkers think Gillibrand was the wrong choice, with the rest evenly split between loving her and not knowing enough about her. Pollsters can't seem to find enough Kennedy supporters to make statistical impact, but that's just here in New York-- not Texas, New Jersey, Wyoming, or anywhere else where people claim to know more about New York than New Yorkers do.
So, keep digging for dirt on our Governor until you find an unpaid parking ticket or two while we re-elect Gillibrand and Paterson next year.
(Don't you have some sleazeball hacks of your own to worry about? Most people do.)
