I don't really need links here, but if you want one, just go to Liz benjamin's Daily Politics. She's got plenty.
Message to Rick Lazio and his campaign. The fact that you cannot talk about fixing the State economy and are more concerned about what Steve Levy does shows that you are not serious about fixing the State. If you can't convince people that you are the right choice, then the game is over and you should just call it quits. If you believe you can, then run for the office of governor.
Stop sounding like a scorned ex-girlfriend who got dumped by the evil mustache man.
This is what disgusts me about some politicians. Rather than seeing competition as a challenge to IMPROVE yourself, and maybe do better than if you were unchallenged, you run, hide, cry, whine and can't get your act together. I've seen this countless times.
I've defended Lazio in the past when his 2000 Senate campaign was being used against him this year. I argued that a person can change and improver over a decade, let him do his rounds and convince his base that he's better. lazio has been doing just that for months.
But now, he has a challenger and learning some party leaders are jumping off the Lazio bus. PROVE THESE FOLKS WRONG, PLEASE! Or, simply give up. You sound like a man who is ready to lose.
