How did you/will you actually vote this year?

[they don't love you like i love you]

All DFL.

[Eraserhead]

NY Gov: Howie Hawkins
NY AG: Eric Schneiderman
NY Comptroller: Robert Antonacci

NY-21 Rep: Paul Tonko

Proposal 1 - i.e. "bipartisan" redistricting: No
Proposal 3 - i.e. stop wasting paper: Yes
Proposal 3 - i.e. $2b for politically savvy tech firms: No

NY Senate - WI: abolish the State Senate
NY Assembly - WI: me

Why Antonacci?

[Boris]

I'm registered in DuPage County, Illinois, so I'm not going to bother voting. I'd vote for Quinn if I lived in Cook county and I'd vote for whoever his opponent is if I lived in St. Clair, Jackson, or Alexander counties. All psephologists should be rooting for a Quinn victory with only Cook County!

I don't understand your reasoning

[traininthedistance]

We haven't actually gotten a sample ballot yet in the mail.  I don't think Simcha Felder is up this year, so it'll be straight Dem except for Howie Hawkins for governor.

Proposal 3 - i.e. stop wasting paper: Yes
Proposal 3 - i.e. $2b for politically savvy tech firms: No

NY Senate - WI: abolish the State Senate
NY Assembly - WI: me

Why Antonacci?

Antonacci is running on a surprisingly bold anti-corruption platform, and he's not especially close with the state's Republican establishment. I might reconsider my vote if Antonacci had any chance of winning, because DiNapoli is relatively clean. But given the chance to vote for an honest outsider running a reformist platform, I'll take it.

I could have sworn you had a longer post earlier where you explained why you were writing yourself in for Assembly, using some logic that, well, surprised me.  Am I imagining things?

Did I mention the incumbent's support for traffic light cameras in Albany?

Yes, that was it.  Traffic light cameras are fantastic and I was surprised that you seemed to consider them to be mutually exclusive with other streetscape improvements for some reason.

I did until a few months ago, actually, but the debate that took place here changed my mind. The public safety benefits just aren't clear. I'm interested in hearing what you have to say on the subject, but the evidence that opponents of the proposal brought forward impressed me a lot more than the case that its supporters made.

This would probably be a good subject for a Political Debate thread. I've had about 8 years experience with the pros and cons.

If any of those offices hired you in IL to forestall your political revenge they would be guilty of a federal offense.

Well in addition to not hiring me, my state assembly member I've met in person multiple times when I did campaign work, and I've had a few conversations with him. He's... not that bright. He's only a 29 year old surfer and he's the son of the previous officeholder. His uncle (a State Senator) got arrested a few months ago.

With all the family connections among officeholders in your district you could be living in IL.

I think it's because we have term limits for local members, so political offices get passed around like inheritance.
