On May 11, Blueskygirl wrote about the rise and possible win in the vote next Tuesday of Democrat Kathy Hochul in NY 26 Congressional District between Rochester and Buffalo.
Today the NYTimes published the second article in a week about the race for the 26th, this time particularly about Jack Davis, who is running as a third candidate on a Tea Party line and splitting the vote with Conservative Jane Corwin, giving Hochul a gift from heaven.
Here's the NYTimes article from this morning. Blueskygirl linked to the first NYTimes article on May 11.
Davis has created alarm among Republicans and Conservatives, so much so that John Boehner came to the 26th last week on behalf of Corwin. Karl Rove has sent Corwin a bunch of tea-colored money. The Tea Party is calling in ever-classy baseball batman Carl Paladino to denounce Davis.
Better yet, tea partiers all over NY are up in arms about Davis. They are angry and trying, at the last minute, to organize (not their best skill) resistance to him and support for Corwin. It is a refreshing turn of events,. Blueskygirl is totally enjoying herself.
Blueskygirl doesn't think Davis is deliberately trying to create a win for the Democrat. Still, could intentional Trojan horses become an election tool next time around? Anything could happen, given the tea partiers inate inability to organize. Ah, can relegation "to the dust bin of history" be far off?
