The NY-26 Election. Have fun but keep your shirt on.

LOL, Jack Davis is now collecting signatures for a tea party run.

Good luck with that.  The petition requirements are strict and technical faults are usually held against a non-designated party person trying to get on the ballot (3,500 valid signatures in 12 days, properly witnessed, signed and in the proper format).  The TEA party isn't a major party in New York with automatic ballot access, which means anyone could claim to run on the "tea party" line by circulating petitions claiming as such and receiving enough valid signatures to get on the ballot.  That's what Davis is doing.

Yeah I know that New York signature rules are tough, but Davis has promised to spend millions on this run so he could simply pay enough people to gather his signatures. Speaking of Davis, it looks like he's going after the racist vote.

You can spend thousands and still not get the needed number of signatures in such a short period. 

Davis isn't going after the racist vote - the Republican party is trying to destroy him before he even gets on the ballot.   Something Murkowski should have done in Alaska and Castle in Delaware, instead of ignoring their primary opponents.

Corwin has money, too, and she's certainly no Dede Scozzafava.  Corwin is the second-most conservative Assemblyman and very much in the good graces of the Conservative Party.  I just don't think any minor-party candidate has a realistic shot, regardless of the money he or she spends.  And I doubt he'd peel enough votes away from Corwin to let the still-unnamed Democrat win. 

Maybe Davis can buy the Green Party line, should it be up for sale.

I didn't literally mean he is going after the racist vote just that he is racist himself, and while I  am sure that the Republicans are going after him his spokesman did confirm what he said.

Remember that if Jack Davis makes the ballot he will officially be referred as the "Tea Party" candidate so you would think he would take mostly conservative votes.
