Congratulations to Joseph DioGuardi, Harry J. Wilson and Dan Donovan on their endorsements by the Editorial Board of the New York Post!
Michael Goodwin reminds readers that Andrew Cuomo quickly embraced his left and under a Cuomo administration....really nothing would change in New York, something every New Yorker must remember on November 2, 2010. Of course, we will be here to remind you of that fact over the next five weeks.
Karl Rove writes of Obama's albatross. And we can add this albatross to the Members of Congress.
Thomas Sowell...(yes, I know it is Thursday, but I could not let his words of wisdom not be posted this week....)

Weekly Wrap-Up
That means hardly any of us have any idea what kind of taxes we’ll be facing next year – and that uncertainty is bad for our already struggling economy. But as long as Kirsten and Chuck aren’t worried about having to make any tough decisions, we should all be thankful – right?
What do you think about the politicians’ wait-till-later stand on the tax issue? Cowardly or courageous? Let us know what you think on this week’s Poll.
It is possible Sen. Gillibrand could be a “lame duck” after Election Day...
In the AG race, Eric Schneiderman pulls a Kerry – he was for the MTA bailout tax increase before he was against it...
Maybe this hypocrisy is why some polls show the AG race as the closest in the state.
New York is once again front-and-center on the Drudge Report – the featured stories are here and here – thanks to the establishment parties’ gubernatorial candidates...
Charles Krauthammer notes how the Tea Party – in most states – is helping conservatives by rallying behind strong, electable candidates...
In Washington, Nancy Pelosi and the liberals have literally made a joke of Congress.
It’s no surprise that the U.N. would roll out the red carpet for a monster like Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but why was the U.S. delegation even playing along in the first place?
What’s truly alarming is that probably the vast majority of those who run the U.N. most likely share Ahmadinejad’s views on the U.S., and would side with him against our country – plus I’d be willing to bet a good number of liberals here at home are open to Ahmadinejad’s take on 9/11.
Have a great weekend!

GM is giving political contributions to mainly democrats, shouldn't they have repaid the taxpayers first?
Hopefully our senior citizens have adopted healthy lifestyle habits that lessen their need for coverage, because it is being cut. Massachusetts struggles with its health care and opens a view for the rest of the nation. Newt on Obamacare and health care expert, Betsy McCaughy's website explains what you can do.
Kudos to NJ Governor Chris Christie!
And Kudos to our Attorney General Candidate, Dan Donovan for wanting to do what is right for New York's citizens.

Will Bob Woodward be invited to the WH Christmas Party? ( Oops, make that the Winter Solstice celebration.) The Heritage Foundation asks the question "What is Obama President of Again?"
NRO writes about standing strong against DREAM, and the Washington Times gives Republicans demanding assurances of no backdoor amnesty.
A bonus Thomas Sowell article.
I guess if he is not on the ballot, he doesn't vote!

Then again, perhaps because of cell phones with cameras and video capabilities, all of the ugly side of politics are being exposed. Certainly there was an element of that last night in Kings county when the Democrats elected their leader. The NY Post Editorial isn't too happy with the Democratic boss.
Speaking of not being too happy, President Obama, must have been taken aback when he had to respond to a successful businesswoman when she told him that she was tired of defending him.
The frustration of today's voters is that elected officials have come to believe that they are the only ones capable of making decisions, unfortunately, many of the elected elite are no longer driven by the the principles that created the greatest country in the world. Equality and justice does not equal wealth distribution...what has always keep America unique, is that anyone could succeed. The majority of today's politicians do not see it that way, they play class warfare, upstate against downstate, and exploit the frustration of voters in order to be elected or keep their seats, they will do or say anything to be elected. They make promises they can't keep, use sound bits to gain attention, sling mud and personal insults, till the average person, throws up their hands in total disgust and either stays home or votes for the person least objectionable. Good candidates have a hard time being heard and sometimes get lost in the shuffle...because many in the media want a "cat fight" or an "interesting" campaign that will sell their advertising space. It is up to us...to raise the bar!
Some are learning that they can't force certain issues.
After years of overspending, the Dutch are cutting spending.
It's Tuesday, and we all need a dose of Thomas Sowell.

Weekly Wrap-Up
This week, the already absurd idea that Andrew Cuomo is an outsider and reformer was dealt another blow. Cuomo is now a proud ally of the ultra-liberal Working Families Party (details here and here). It’s no secret that the WFP’s Big Labor agenda is the root of the many problems facing New York right now.
There should be little doubt that a vote for Cuomo on the WFP line (which he shares with his friend Charlie Rangel) or on the Democrat line (learn more about their latest scandal here) is a vote for corruption and politics as usual.
What do you think about this new Cuomo/WFP marriage? Vote today in our weekly poll.
I wonder what Cuomo-the-Reformer would think about his fellow Democrats’ fundraising antics?
More on the Ground Zero mosque this week: Why in the world should we trust Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf with a new building when he can’t even take care of the ones he already owns?
Forget waterboarding: If we want to pressure terrorists to talk, we should tell them to speak up or spend the night in a Rauf property.
Have you seen the national Democratic Party’s new logo? The Washington Times notes its similarity to the “down” button on an elevator. Others have said the new symbol very appropriately resembles a blue target.
Have a great weekend!
