The New York GOP strains credulity
I suppose it is okay if you’re into that kind of thaang, but debt-ridden TV star/builder Donald Trump is considering a run for the GOP gubernaorial nomination in New York next year.
State Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno (R), the guy who put the kibbosh on Jeanine Pirro’s abortive run against Hlllary, claims to have recuited “Donald, The” for the race.
Said Frank MacKay, state chairman of the Independence Party: “(Trump) is a formidable candidate for anything he decides to run for. We would love to see him run for president of the United States in 2008 as a third-party candidate. I’d do what I could to help give him a strong base here in New York and everywhere else in the country.”
Trump flirted with a run for president on the Reform Party ticket in 2000. He has given money to Republicans and Democrats in state races.
At least the NY State GOP plans to put on a circus for Governor Spitzer before his coronation. Can’t these freaks get serious?

A few things:
1) In the short time I”ve lived in NY State, I’ve come to realize that the state party is a mess. Probably in worse shape than Ohio’s GOP apparatus. Pataki also failed to groom a GOP sucessor for Gov. over the past 12 years.
2) There’s an article in today’s NY Post saying Trump isn’t running.
3) The coronation of Spitzemay not be as foregone of a conclusion right now–as he’s currently getting blasted in the media (see urban elephants for more related posts). Also, Nassau County Executive Tom Suizzoi (sp?) is rumored to be throwing his hat into the ring for the Dem primary.
It’s a lot to process…I know. I’m still learning the ropes here.
But if you’ll excuse me, on Monty Python’s Flying Circus, they’re about to teach us how to defend ourselves against fruit!
Have a happy new year!
