Pen Pals
Bill Weld has, his spokeswoman says, been dispatching the occasional postcard to Eliot Spitzer from his swing along the "supposed ribbon of gloom."
Apparently lots of teeth and no rickets up there. Though it certainly isn't conventional wisdom that the parts of Upstate deeply dependent on state handouts want to be told they're actually doing just fine.
The cards carry short notes like, "Rome wasn't rebuilt with a phrase!" and "Wish you were here!")
"We wanted to let Mr. Spitzer know we were thinking about him the entire trip," the spokeswoman, Andrea Tantaros, says.
Apparently there's also a care package in the works.
spitzer sticking to his guns, good job! Conditions on the ground are a fact, denying it is going to backfire on R's
Bad strategy to be putting Spitzer's name out there for him and boosting him as the presumptive nominee. Weld would do better to be more Rose Garden-like and hope Suozzi gains in the polls and forces him to spend more.
Why is Bill even considered a credible candidate? He quit being governor of Massachusetts to run for a position that is appointed--Ambassador to Mexico--which he didn't even get with a Republican controlled Senate! Now he wants to be Governor of New York? This is worse than Freddy running last year after what he did in 2001. Pathetic.
There's a cool fort in Rome, and a nice little gallery in Utica.
Listen: Anyone who has been to Utica recently and doesn't think there is a serious economic problem should put down the crackpipe before they hurt someone!
Bill would know about rickets and no teeth... he ran Decker College.
Was Bill sober when he thought up this idiotic scheme?? Faso will blow him out of the primary.
weld showed how much he cared about the underclass at decker college -- what a phony, and this stunt isn't clever. it's lame.
This blog came to prominence by revealing interesting "inside" information. Now it seems to be degenerating into a campaign press release billboard filled with silly spin. Weld's campaign message of the day from the lips of his spokeswoman is not exactly interesting information. A leak from inside his campain is interesting information. This goes for any of the people running.
Is this like dialing while drunk?
Am I the only one who thinks that Weld writing cryptic postcards to Eliot Spitzer is a tad bit weird and a whole lot creepy?
Let me see, Weld - I recall hering that name before.
Oh yes, he's the gentleman who is 48 poiyns - 18 to 66 - behind Eliot Spitzer.
Anger, Anger, Anger.
Spitzer's Appalachia comment degraded the one thing we upstaters have left - hope.
That's why its a big deal and that's why Weld's tour will resonate.

Well that's annoying. Does Weld find condescending and obnoxious to be a good campaign strategy?
That sounds pretty obnoxious to me.
