Anybody got any endorsements? I wanna vote, but there is absolutely nowhere for me to find good honest information about 1.) who is even running in our neighborhood and 2.) what these candidates are about.

I'm looking for the most progressive candidates because I'm liberal as all hell. Any advice?

    If you are "liberal as hell", you can vote the Working Family column.

    Liberals are conservatives that haven't been robbed yet.

    Yeah, I'm a big fan of the WFP. They're backing Velmanette who seems like a pretty Progressive lady. She's always served our district well. I get her mailings. She's a 25 year incumbent.

    Still, I do have a weird urge to kind of just throw all the incumbents out. Albany has been a dysfunctional mess for so long it's insane. Their behavior in regards to Congestion Pricing, The Soda Tax, and Gay Marriage makes me want to throw up. Still, who is this guy Pollard that's running against her? Is he cool? Anybody know anything? I'd rather vote for a known quantity even if I've got some reservations.

    Also, what are you guys thinking about the AG race. Sad to say, I haven't been following at all.
