Israel/King would be cool.  both are horrible persons but an all-LI Senate race?  mad chill

[Keystone Phil]

Let's see if this makes any news within the NY political circles. If it does, great news for Caroline.

Why do people keep polling this.  It's above-average whorish on the news' part.  I know Markos just wanted to advocate against Caroline Kennedy [for those of you who don't have your work encourage you to regularly read the Daily Kos, Kos has been on a bit of a crusade lately against CK], but buying a poll seems a bit extreme.

This is so meaningless it boggles my mind.  Especially for someone like Markos who is supposed to understand this is simply a name recognition poll

Kos seems to be polling pretty much all the Senate races. After all, why else would he bother with Vermont?

[Holmes]

Those Kennedy numbers make me happy because they probably make kos mad.

[Lunar]

No, he spun them as "even non-dynasty politicians could beat the GOP, so why bother!"

Good point.  He is polling all of the Senate races looking at which ones might be sleepers on both sides

You know, "Israel King" would be a pretty badass name.

[Lunar]

I don't think King would run if Israel were selected.  King would have no base.

I only see him running if he's convinced he's going to lose his seat anyway due to gerrymandering and if there's an inner NYC candidate, preferably Weingarten

well, ok.  if the Dems nominate an upstater in 2010 he could also see an opening there.
