ML: An open blogpost to the president-elect

Posted on November 5, 2008 by iwilder

Dear Mr. President-Elect, You just closed your victory speech by referencing a 106 year-old Georgian woman and all the change she saw (and presumably, this year, voted for) in that time.  You asked what the world will look like for your daughters (those pretty girls Kimberly is so fond of) should they live to see the next […]

NY’s a 1 party state state in a 1 party nation

Posted on November 5, 2008 by iwilder

Newsday reports that the Dems have taken the State Senate in NY adding to their control of the Assembly and Governor’s mansion. I know of one chair of a kind-of third party who always felt the sort-of tension between the Dems and Reps in NYS politics protected the 3rd parties from ballot access laws from […]

Comparing Green Party and Green-ish Presidential Figures

Posted on November 5, 2008 by iwilder

So, due to the sheer luck of which counties publish their election resuls, and how thoroughly, I can come up with the following comparisons to put Green Party votes in perspective. First of all, in 2008, Cynthia McKinney received 825 votes in Suffolk County. That is .13% of the vote. (Totals may increase on this […]

ML: Can we lobby Foley/ a D State Senate?

Posted on November 5, 2008 by iwilder

The Foley victory makes the State Senate a spilt in NY (have they won outright control?),  and I am reminded of a campaign call I received a couple of weeks ago from Foley’s campaign coordinator–who told me to send his well-wishes to Roger Snyder, whom he said he knows well.  In the brief and cordial […]

KW: Congressional Races in Suffolk

Posted on November 4, 2008 by iwilder

Absolutely no excitement. The young kid trying to upset King lost. (I was frustrated that he would not take an anti-Afhganistan War position, anyway. Steve Israel got sixty something to thirty something over his opponent. And, Zeldin (who was very conservative, and anti-immigrant, and had a picture of himself with a gun on his candidate […]

KW: Ian really, really, really wants me to take down the mushy picture of the Obama’s. But, I can’t help it. Those children are adorable, and I have resisted this whole, vigilant, Green Party campaign from celebrating the good parts of the Obama phenomenom. So,  ;)~  to Ian. (And, everyone else who will complain or […]
