The real race in NY-26 is just one thing. It is one thing unless you are an actual voter in the district and then it becomes a few more things.
NY-26 is all about health care reform.
NY-26 is all about a region that is in economic dire straits.
NY-26 is all about union power.
NY-26 is all about the corruption of the status quo.
NY-26 is all about political chicanery.
NY-26 is all about 2012.
NY-26 is all about jobs, local decline, political theory, taxes and personal desires.
In short:
NY-26 is all about being national.
NY-26 is all about being local.
Or:
NY-26 is a typical election with extra issues and attention in an attempt to build it into a bell weather race for reasons that have little to do with the actual voter on the ground.
Now that we know what NY-26 is it is time to cut through the chaff and do an election fairly so that after the media has left those who have attempted the forced whoredom of the voter and the process can be fairly arrested, indicted, convicted and hanged. In that order.
Through this the electoral process, justice and the law will be served, especially if warrants are then served in editorial rooms nationwide.
Then we’ll know what NY-26 was really about.
