I’m sure there’s a ton of articles out there about him — DA being a pretty high-profile position. To start with, here’s something on the Post-Standard political blog: Last fall, Fitzpatrick coasted to re-election after amassing $175,000 in campaign contributions. He didn’t have to spend much of it on the conventional things described above. But he did spend $11,633 hosting 49 gatherings over the last two years at bars and eateries in Syracuse and places like Portland, Ore., and Amelia Island, Fla. Events ranged from a $2,347.84 dinner during the state DAs’ meeting in New York City to less than $110 for drinks at Rico’s Ristorante in East Syracuse.

The district is trending very heavily democratic and The Decider is an albatross around Republicans' necks. My opinion is that Maffei will beat either.

I think Walsh is realizing his time is up, both in Washington and locally. I do believe he will win in 2008, but do not think he wants to stay around with a Democratic majority. As for Fitzpatrick, is he high profile enough to run? I know he has ben D.A. for 4 terms, but I am not sure if he is well-known outside of Onondaga County. Thoughts?
