A long, good story on Rochester-area Congressional politics and how it's changing, with four reporters contributing. Must be the area's "paper of record", the Democrat and Chronicle, right?
Naah, it's
today's Messenger-Post, now officially the best Rochester-area newspaper. One of the themes of the story is how the the loss of Jim Walsh (NY-25), who had a senior position on the Appropriations Committee, will affect the district. Randy Kuhl wants to try for some of that Walsh-style clout, though even he admits the odds are "slim". The odds would be better if he were in the majority, of course, which points out how Kuhl has a tougher road in 2008.
In other news, we have the yin of Randy Kuhl being
honored by the Chamber of Commerce opposed by the yang of Eric Massa
being endorsed by the AFL-CIO. I don't know if a unity of opposites is discernable in these two announcements. I'm afraid we haven't reached that level of enlightenment in the 29th.
