I agree about the Senate and the need to change the Senate. Ousting Robach is part of a Statewide strategy to flip the Senate of which the SD-56 race is simply a part off. I stand by my earlier comments - not everything is a confrontation waiting to happen. The Dollinger post sounded as written by a Dollinger supporter. Hep pointed that out. Who the heck was attacked?

If you sneeze in Greece, Joe shows up to wipe your nose for you. It's so in your face that this election has become the focus of many who realize that the only hope for real change in Albany is to oust the 30 year control. Chewing at each other doesn't accomplish anything except wasting time on what could be constructive methods of working towards progress...unless this campaign season will be nothing more than a groundhog day repeat of the April 1 post you wrote. And that would be SO wrong. Bottom line is attacks on the internals that only take away from the focus of an extremely important seat in the Senate just detract from the issues.

Not everything is a confrontation waiting to happen. Beyond the actual numbers it does read like a Dollinger Press release. Given that Greece mostly endorsed Dollinger - I would expect nothing less toi appear on the Greece site. In fact we got the same thing but choose to strip out all the verbiage and add out own commentary.

got a problem with that?
