Remembering August 2006
In our continuing series of monthly wrap-ups, today we look back to August 2006.
Back in the day, the D&C had the fortitude to investigate some COMIDA fraud; it makes one wonder where their back-bone has gone.
August 06 gave us the Democratic Primary for Joe Lieberman’s CT Senate Seat. Pitting Lieberman against progressive darling Ned Lamont. Lieberman’s people were whining about their website, but, in the end, Lamont beat Lieberman for the Democratic nod. We were all pleased to see our very own Chuck Schumer endorse Lamont’s candidacy.
A great new blog named The Fighting 29th burst into the blogosphere, helping set the record straight on Randy Kuhl. Speaking of Kuhl, back in August 06 Eric Massa secured the endorsement of a powerful NYS Union, mainly because Kuhl had a history, in the NYS Senate, of voting against worker’s rights.
We had Jim Walsh sending out false literature, while Dan Maffei challenged Walsh to a debate. Speaking of lit, Assemblyman Joe Errigo was sending out what appeared to be taxpayer funded campaign mailings.
Willa Powell announced her candidacy for the State Senate’s 56th district, running against entrenched incumbent Joe Robach.
Local TV weatherman, Kevin Williams, displayed an absurd aversion to science. It’s OK, though, because we’re here to help guide Mr. Williams to the light.
Finally, with the September 06 NYS primaries around the corner, we had Eliot Spitzer facing off against Tom Suozzi and John Faso (remember them?) in a Rochester debate.
On to September….
