There ain’t enough Republicans in NYS to win elections. The problem ain’t your party leadership…it’s the growing enrollment of Dems downstate, and the departure of upstate Republicans out-of-state. How could Randy Kuhl lose in the Southern Tier? How could Republicans have lost back-to-back races to Kirsten Gillibrand. Fuggadebout it! It ain’t Mondello, and his successor won’t make a difference either.

Your last chance is 2010 with Rudy Giuliani (your better chance was Bloomberg, but he’ll stay as Mayor). Lose then, and i t i s o v e r.

PS Suozzi’s no conservative. Ask Nassau Republicans. Suozzi is AMBITIOUS and he’s doing whatever he can do to become Governor.

Taxation is the issue.

It may not have worked for Liz Feld in this election but issues of municipal finance will matter at some point.

In the meantime, neither money nor a new face will save the State GOP. The state needs a maverick, someone like Tom Suozzi, and it’s shameful that the Democrats were able to bring forth such a reformer rather than the Republicans Then again, liberal Democrats turned their backs on Nassau’s conservative county executive in 2006 during his gubernatorial bid.

Would Suozzi have been any better received by Republicans?

Reformers need not apply in the Republican Party. That’s the real problem.

Thou shalt not rock the boat (ie. Greg Ball).
