Ny Senate Seat News

The NY Post is reporting that Cuomo's camp may have been the one to leak Kennedy's trouble with the housekeeper, and that Obama is furious at him, so NY is going to get screwed that is for sure.

That couldn't be what stopped her though. There had to be something bigger.

No I will tell you who failed. Damo and SF failed in their sad male attempt to mindfuck me. As you can see I pulled a surprise reverse flip mindfuck, and now those two idiots are over at the WSJ and NY Post websites trying to find the "stories" about Cuomo being appointed to the seat.

Which, by the way, he has not been.

This place is becoming less and less useful as my primary source of accurate news.

Here is some new news on why Kennedy dropped out. This is the most fubared situation. It kind of sounds like Paterson had picked her, and is now denying that because she turned out to be such an idiot. It also claims he is leaning towards that woman from upstate who I don't want.

Housekeeper and Taxes Are Said to Derail Kennedy’s Bid
By DANNY HAKIM and NICHOLAS CONFESSORE
ALBANY — Problems involving taxes and a household employee surfaced during the vetting of Caroline Kennedy and derailed her candidacy for the Senate, a person close to Gov. David A. Paterson said on Thursday, in an account at odds with Ms. Kennedy’s own description of her reasons for withdrawing.

The account emerged 14 hours after Ms. Kennedy announced that she was taking her name out of contention for the Senate seat vacated by Hillary Rodham Clinton, and as Mr. Paterson appeared to be leaning toward selecting Representative Kirsten E. Gillibrand, an upstate lawmaker in her second term in Congress.

Hard feelings toward Ms. Kennedy were clearly building among the governor’s staff on Thursday, after a dramatic evening in which she was reported to be dropping out, then wavering, then ultimately, shortly after midnight on Thursday, issuing a statement ending her candidacy.

The person close to the governor said Mr. Paterson “never had any intention of picking Kennedy because it was clear that she wasn’t ready for prime time.

“She had botched her rollout. She was unprepared. She clearly had no policy experience and couldn’t handle the pressure of the public stage.”

But other Democratic operatives and people who talked to the governor said that he had all but decided to select her as senator, and that his staff was arranging a press conference for late this week.

An aide to Ms. Kennedy said Thursday that while Ms. Kennedy had not been told for certain that she was the choice, there were strong indications that she would be.

During the early afternoon Wednesday, the aide said, Ms. Kennedy became aware of what the aide referred to as a “personal situation” that could prevent her from fulfilling her duties as senator. The personal situation was not related to the seizure that her uncle, Senator Edward M. Kennedy, suffered during an inauguration luncheon on Tuesday, the aide said, declining to be more specific.

Another aide to Ms. Kennedy, while not denying there were issues that emerged during her vetting, said that there was nothing that surfaced that would disqualify her from the appointment, and that the Kennedy camp and the governor’s operation had been discussing how to publicly disclose the issues.

Virtually no one in state politics on Thursday was willing to make a bet on the appointment the unpredictable governor might make in the end. And the governor and his aides remained shocked at the recent turn of events and stung by criticism of their handling of the process. They have maintained almost complete silence since Wednesday afternoon.

Several people who have spoken to the governor said he had decided on Ms. Kennedy some time ago. A Democrat operative with ties to Mr. Paterson said the governor told Ms. Kennedy last week that she was the choice, but that he would use the next few days to do “a little misdirection to keep the suspense up.”

A person close to the governor adamantly denied that assertion.

“The fiasco of the last 24 hours reinforced why the governor never intended to choose her,” the person said.

The aide to Ms. Kennedy said she called the governor around 3 or 4 p.m. on Wednesday to tell him that she would be withdrawing from consideration for the appointment. According to the aide, Mr. Paterson told Ms. Kennedy to take a day to think about it. At no point, the aide said, did the governor tell Ms. Kennedy she was out of consideration.

“He was saying she was a contender, she was involved, and things were going the way they were going,” the aide said. “He did not tell her either way that it was yes or no, but that she was still being considered.”

<More ammo for me when i start filling in my 1040long sheet next week. Seriously fuck the govt and the IRS. im riding that grey line all the way to unprovable audit this year. Fucking cheating politicians.
 
hiccups and personal situations my ass. These same fools that are feeding us lines about our duty and responsibility to our country paying taxes dont even live by there own rules.
 
Anyone that "overlooks" and doesn't pay taxes has no business being in politics because they either are retarded or criminal. Take your pick. Taxes are not that difficult a task for someone in that level of society.
 
I think Darla just assumes that any real woman is a liberal, much like I assume that any real man is a libertarian.
 
Well I at least assume that a Democratic woman, elected in NY state is going to be a liberal. I didn't know he was going to go trolling throught the upstate trailer parks for this. I'd rather he appoint a republican...in two years, they'd be O.U.T.

Now we'll be saddled with a fucking conservative ny state senator. This is the worst possible outcome.

You have to be more specific in what you ask for Darla! At first you just asked for a woman but what you meant was you wanted a liberal woman.

I think the truly funny part is when Darla feels the need to demean any woman who doesn't think exactly like she does.

"I didn't know he was going to go trolling throught the upstate trailer parks for this."

Quite sad

Oh get off your soapbox. I demean cons of all genders, or, to be more accurate, of both genders. And you demean liberal men constantly. It's different why? Because you're a sexist.
 
Okay, what's w/ the new avatar...is that you?

And what's the scoop w/ Gillibrand? All I know is that she was in one of the ugliest campaigns I've seen w/ Sandy Treadwell this past fall...

Ah yes, your 'u a sexist' line of defense. You bitch and moan about people demeaning women for expressing their own views or standing up for what they believe in. You call men sexists who attempt to do exactly what you just did to that Representative. You attempt to belittle her because to you she is not a 'real' woman. It is that type of insecure bullshit that defeats any legitimate complaints you have about sexism.

Then when called out for it, you claim the woman is a 'con' and thus its ok for you to demean her. One day I hope you overcome your insecurities and realize that 'real women' come in many different shapes and sizes, they have the ability to think for themselves and possess the ability to have differing opinions from one another.
