NY Governor 2006


Any other New Yorkers care to join me in wondering why spitzer2006.com doesn't seem to have any sort of a platform? It just lists all the lawsuits he's brought against various scoundrels and ne'erdowells. Is it just too early for him to express some positions? Never too early to solicit contributions, however.

Does Weld have a chance? Are we looking at a HLS grad v. HLS grad race?

Somebody is camping on weld2006.com. Go look up that case about domain-name squatters for me--I'm thinking of buying golisano2006.com.

Who are our other players?

Update:
How old does a governor in NY have to be? Should I run?


Another Update:
Damn...
