NY Moveon.org members
Check your mail. They just sent out an email for a poll of who you prefer Jonathan Tasini or Hillary Clinton. Whomever gets 2/3's of the vote they will endorse. If no one wins 2/3's of the vote they will not endorse.

There is no link you have to be a member and have gotten the e-mail.

Cutoff time is Friday 11am.

1. Got my email
And voted...I'm hopeful that Tasini will get the 2/3 required for endorsement.

Can NY do what CT did? I sure hope so.

5. A Moveon endorsement
would mean alot. Even if he doesn't win the primary if he comes close it will shake the NYS dems up a bit.

6. I think the BIGGEST shake up would be a Kuhl upset...
Here's hoping that NY29 is on their game. Additionally, I'm really looking forward to my own district and Jack Davis taking NY26.

It's an exciting time to be watching and participating!

8. Thanks for the heads up Nite Owl...
I like Hillary, I know she's fighting hard for veterans, I don't think we hear half the the good work she does. ...With that said, I voted for Tasini. I think he'll do a good job taking over for Hillary in the Senate.

Hillary could change my primary vote if she started talking about accountability. And not just that she wants accountability, I want her to OPENLY say she knows our administration lied to us. I want her to talk about subpoena power and how Democrats need to become the majority in order to be able to look into White House records.

I like Hillary but I have mixed feelings. I don't think she could win over red-states in '08 (they hate Clinton the way we hate Bush, I could NEVER vote for Laura). I'm thinking if she failed in the senate race, her spot in the '08 elections could go to Gore. I think Gore has a chance to win, he's done it before.

9. Hillary is no Lieberman
that's why I think she will win in the end. She needs to get the message though that she has to answer to us, the voters. I don't like her ties to big pharma either and of course her war stance. Why she has not said that she was lied to and would take back her vote I don't understand. If Tasini does get this endorsement he may have more of a chance. He's for what I want: anti war, single payor healthcare, pro labor so he has my vote.
