Breaking: Powers To Get Monroe County Endorsement? - Updated
Just got a press release from the Powers campaign:
Tomorrow, Monroe County Democratic Chairman Joe Morelle and Democratic
Leaders in New York’s 26th Congressional District will hold a press
conference for a major announcement regarding New York’s 26th Congressional
seat.
They don’t say what the announcement is about, but spidey sense says: endorsement. I’m not sure any other reason the campaign would be trumpeting the announcement with such fanfare. Maybe the DCCC announcing they’re staying out of the primary cleared the way for Morelle & his posse to jump in.
The only county in the 26th that hasn’t endorsed now is Erie, and Erie towns of Lancaster and Clarence have endorsed. I assume it would be hard for the town of Amherst to endorse since I believe one of the town board members has thrown his hat in the ring.
Update: as a bonus news item on the 26th race, Powers made a statement, taking the high road, about the whole Bellavia/Tiger Woods comment:
I’m going to offer David Bellavia a mulligan on this one and give him the
opportunity to clarify what he meant by comparing Senator Obama to Tiger
Woods. If this was a comparison based upon racial lines, David owes Senator
Obama an apology.
“Mulligan”. Funny.
This reminds me of when Eric Massa took the high road during a debate and said that a question directed to Randy Kuhl about domestic violence was inappropriate.
