We likey the politics here at WTPWB. Also, the half-baked, semi-irresponsible commentary. So here’s what we’re gonna do this year, to make our campaign coverage, such as it is, a little more exciting. We’re gonna make some half-cocked predictions! Lets begin.
NY Senate Democratic Primary: Kirsten Gillibrand landslide.
Her victory over Harold Ford, Jr. has been more or less a sure shot since minute one, but Gillibrand keeps on her toes. She’s saying the right things, popping up in the right places, picking up huge endorsements, and keeping at Ford in spite of the fact that she could probably nap for a few months and still make the first cut. Today she got him on executive pay, because Ford is rich, you see:
Kirsten Gillibrand said it’s “essential” for Harold Ford Jr. to say whether he got a “taxpayer-backed” bonus while he was working at Bank of America.
“We don’t [know] so, so I think he should be honest with the American people,” Gillibrand said this morning at a press conference with Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, who endorsed her.
Okay, okay, pretty vanilla prediction to start this series, I know. It’ll get better once we start talking about Republicans.
And so we’re clear on how the rules work, WTPWB will not be altering, backing off of, or abandoning its predictions as time goes on. What goes up stays up.
