Romney’s presence in New York
-

Mitt Romney never spent much time in New York, deciding early on to devote his campaign energies to other states. And, likewise, his campaign never established much of an organization in the state.
Still, the former Massachusetts governor did have his supporters in New York and the Lower Hudson Valley. A check of voter tallies from the New York primary showed that Romney got 168,801 votes statewide, or about 28 percent.
In the Lower Hudson Valley, Romney received 9,905 votes in Westchester, 3,276 votes in Rockland, and 1,640 votes in Putnam.
Romney’s campaign also touched the region in another way. His chief spokesman, Kevin Madden, grew up in Yonkers and once served as the spokesman for former Yonkers Mayor John Spencer.
Meanwhile, Republican John McCain, with his path to the GOP nomination a lot clearer, made his case to the Conservative Political Action Committee today.
“I know I have a responsibility, if I am, as I hope to be, the Republican nominee for President, to unite the party and prepare for the great contest in November,” McCain said in his prepared remarks.
“And I am acutely aware that I cannot succeed in that endeavor, nor can our party prevail over the challenge we will face from either Senator Clinton or Senator Obama, without the support of dedicated conservatives, whose convictions, creativity and energy have been indispensible to the success our party has had over the last quarter century.”

the republicans and the last seven plus years of their unwavering support of the disastrous policies of their imperial blowhard leader. “convictions, creativity & energy” = economic inequality in America, continued crumbling infrastructure, a nation divided, failed foreign policy. “mission accomplished” = doom and gloom. the exit door is wide open all they need is a little push.
Seven Curses may be one of the Seven Sisters—not the colleges known by that name, but the stars
also known by that name, way out there in space.
i don’t believe any of the 7 sisters(the pleiades) were named katrina
the democrats will get no traction pointing to the bush
administration as an argument for electing a democrat..
Voters want to know about the future..and McCain is not
Bush, in fact they have barely gotten along after the
south carolina primary…McCain is a libertarian conservative from Arizona and the voters will have to
assess his qualifications not as a third Bush term
but in contrast to what they can expect from
Hillary CLinton…and in that regard all national polling
shows that McCain and Hillary are either running neck and
neck or Mc Cain is ahead so seven curses, you can curse
whomever you want but it won’t elect a president
I was referring to the Seven Sisters poster herself,
himself, or itself. It was a dig…dig?
Katrina? The Feds were late by a couple of days, yes.
No debate there.
But Seven Sisters carefully avoids blaming the hapless or
worse Democratic governor and the equally hapless or worse
Democratic “Chocolate City” mayor of New Orleans. Those
are his words. And both he and the now-former gov were disasters themselves.
RE: Comment McCain is a libertarian conservative from Arizona
No way is he a Libertarian Conservative…..Are we looking at his record?
Libertarian? He is a Conservative…...(84% by ACU)
