Treadwell. Well, that didn't take long

So another Republican rich guy pretends that he's got a snowball's chance. Couple years ago, that district was a Republican walk. No more.

Sweeney's thugishness and a tenacious smart campaign by Kirsten Gillibrand flipped the district this past fall. Gillibrand is impressing lots. Even traditional R's. And NOBODY wants to risk Republican control in Washington again for at least a generation. That's just too scary. And, I'll be damned if I'll bother giving that thug, Sweeney a link. If you don't know who he is, you're lucky. Besides, he's toast. If you're really desperate, go find him yourself.

So Treadwell, who's getting a real early start (hell, Gillibrand just took office a few months ago) will spend a year and a half and bundles of dough. For naught. I love it when Republicans waste their money on delusions (not so much when they waste ours).

Gerry Solomon, who dominated the district for almost 20 years, must be turning over in his grave.

And, yeah wiseguy, I know Gillibrand's district does not cover Albany. Duh. But when they find someone to run against Mike McNulty (if they do), it won't even be interesting. Like I said, we may as well fight among ourselves just to stay tuned up. And stay tuned for Gillibrand's campaign. Throw some shekels her way too. That money won't be wasted.
