Opportunity embraced: Howie Hawkins, center stage | syracuse.com

Posted on October 21, 2010 by iwilder

For the most part, his role in the debate seemed to leave a good impression. The New York Times spoke of Hawkins’ “earnest pleas” and described him as a candidate who offered “substance.” Former Republican gubernatorial candidate John Faso was not so kind; when a post-debate caller to YNN offered praise for Hawkins, Faso used […]

Green Party New York: Cuomo the Second Tea Party Candidate

Posted on October 21, 2010 by iwilder

Last night Andrew Cuomo confirmed every fear that progressive and independent voters have about his run for governor. Most thought it a silly joke when, in mid-September, the Democrat Party candidate claimed that he, and not the Republican Carl Paladino, was the real Tea Party candidate. Any doubts about this claim were dashed at the Hofstra […]

John Edwards cancels appearance at Hofstra University

Posted on September 4, 2008 by iwilder

(KW: If I had better instincts, and more vicious reflexes, I would have had a scoop on Edwards canceling at Hofstra. Ian and I are working on getting local Greens to the Hofstra pre-Presidential Debate stuff, and about an hour ago, I had noticed that the John Edwards event was listed as canceled…) (Realized since […]
