Maybe, maybe not. Lee's seat is pretty much impossible to eliminate by redistricting, unique among the NY GOP seats.

I don't think it'd be an issue of elimination, but rather protection.

Is this the most pathetic sex scandal ever or what?

Unless there's more

Freaking hilarious.

Carl Paladino is apparently being talked up as a candidate.

Which is especially hilarious given that Carl has a child from an affair

Update:
Buffalo TV Station WGRZ just tweeted this: “Carl #Paladino says he will not run for Rep. Chris Lee’s spot. He says many people pushing for NYS Assemblymember Jane Corwin.”


Sad!

Remain vacant until Jan, 2013?  That would be absolutely amazing.  I truly doubt this would possibly happen.

Pretty sure the courts would find that illegal.

Its pretty much assured that more is involved especially since craigslist dating often goes hand and hand with escort services, etc.

why would an escort service care what Mr Lee looked like without a shirt on?

Let's assume that whatever this is for Chris Lee, it's probably not the very first time he's ventured outside of his marriage.

He resigned? The guy should not hawk himself really, since he really has no balls to hawk.

Hah, the title of your post here already had "RESIGNED!" in the subject line:

Quote from: Torie on February 09, 2011, 08:10:31 PM
Is this really going to go anywhere?

Like I said earlier, you really have to assume that he's worried about reporters digging further.  It's New York, a state where many inside politicos openly say that Spitzer should have never resigned because his offenses weren't that bad.

My ideal Dem Candidate would have been Jon Powers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Powers, unfortunately I just asked someone who was on his campaign, and he's in D.C. now.

 it'd be interesting for any Republican or Democratic State Senator to run for this race, because if they won, they could throw off the balance of the State Senate.

Kennedy is the only State Senate Democrat even close to the district, his home isn't in NY-26, and I don't even think any of his State Senate district is in NY-26/

Word, I was just being fair.

Good, Powers is considering a run: http://blogs.democratandchronicle.com/voteup/2011/02/10/powers-making-calls/

If the GOP avoids a top-tier candidate, he could have a shot.

Yeah, I hope so. Even better if it emerged that he'd raped a donkey or something. Because otherwise this is dull and I am bored. I demand that politics be my entertainment, God damn it! If there's a sex scandal it simply must be utterly revolting! Else, what's the point?

I mean, if you have to have a scandal, might as well be an amusing or sexy one, especially opposed to ones that are actually criminal

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Apparently, the Tea Party has learned nothing if there is even a hint of them pulling anything.

I don't see how they are harmed by hinting at it?  It just increases their leverage in their negotiating attempt to slow down the nominating process
