more seriously,
an important and undercovered citywide race is for public advocate, with the best candidate norman siegel. assuming green doesn't break 40%, that race is going to trigger a run-off next month between mark green and whoever comes in second, and last i looked at the polls, siegel was running neck and neck with machine hack deblasio for second place.
this is important, pace right-wing daskol, because a robust public advocate actually could be a counterweight against emperor bloomberg (as mark green proved in his stint as public advocate when he stopped some of giuliani's most grotesque practices, such as nypd racial profiling).
either green or siegel would be great, but green has an almost superhuman ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. green vs deblasio with deblasio winning would be a true lost opportunity.

oh and to be clear, deblasio is a city council machine hack, a lifer local pol who wants to use this office to raise his citywide profile. he would be betsy gotbaum part two, which is to say a do-nothing seat-warmer.
norman siegel, in contrast, is a born fighter/outsider/reformist who desperately wants to be a thorn in bloomberg's side. he has no higher aspirations for public office, which puts him in the correct position for what should be an office that monitors the behavior of the other branches of city government.

Jury seated for Bruno corruption trial
AP
Last Updated: 1:40 PM, November 2, 2009
ALBANY, N.Y. — Twelve jurors and four alternates have been seated for the corruption trial of former New York state Senate Republican leader Joseph Bruno.
Opening arguments are scheduled for the afternoon and the first witnesses may be questioned soon after on the trial’s opening day.
Once a top power broker in New York, the 80-year-old Bruno is accused of using his position to collect more than $3 million in return for using his influence to benefit labor unions and private businessmen.
He has pleaded not guilty and denounced the eight-count January indictment as a politically motivated fishing expedition.

Governor Paterson is fascinating
to me at least. Fresh off rumors in the Post that he was busted by state police making out with some random chick in a broom closet there's been talk that this sunday the Times will be running a story that is going to "ruin" him politically. Cause he does so well, he has to be ruined, but anyway the best version I've heard so far is that he's been having key parties at the governor's residence. Drugs and wife-swapping. Which, I mean, no big deal, except for the part where he's blind. It's easy for me to picture him snorting coke
but sex parties? Hilarious.
Also just a couple of weeks ago his teenage son was arrested for shooting craps. Craps!! And barely anybody pays attention to him. Don't it always seem to go

""The governor started making calls two weeks ago to step up his campaign effort and get ready to officially announce his re-election campaign," Fife said. "The calls were - and are - going well ... And then look what happens - a coordinated effort to stop him and spread rumors."
A Democrat close to the situation, though, said the meetings included discussions about whether Paterson would resign or announce he will not run because of the unsubstantiated claims in the whisper campaign surrounding the governor's behavior. The Democrat spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue."

- Andrew Cuomo greases up the customized Harley-Davidson Dyna that sits in his garage, revving the engine. His girlfriend hops onto the back of his bike, and the two take off on the country roads of Westchester County, N.Y., wisps of her flaxen hair escaping her helmet and blowing in the wind. New York's attorney general and his celebrity girlfriend, Food Network shortcut-cooking queen Sandra Lee, are out for a private pleasure cruise. Upstate and out of the limelight, it's just "Sandy" and "Andy," as they call each other, alone on the open road.

"They're not regulars at any of the city's top restaurants. Instead, Lee often cooks Italian food for Cuomo, whose favorite meal is her simple lasagna, which she prepares with canned tomato soup, cottage cheese and ground chuck."

Ravitch was appointed Lt. Governor by Paterson, which led to a legal battle establishing that even an unelected governor has that power. So Ravitch could, upon becoming Governor, quickly appoint Eliot Spitzer as his replacement as Lt. Governor and then resign, thereby enabling the second coming of Governor Eliot Spitzer, the Sheriff of Wall Street.
Also, Cuomo was cuckolded by his then-wife Kerry Kennedy. Some voters might prefer a governor who swings to one who let a Kennedy make a cuckold of him.

FUCK her man. It doesn't bother me when she's making easy kid shit but tomato SAUCE also comes in a can and ricotta comes in a fucking bucket. It's like her recipes are for frosh buying groceries at the campus cstore with dining points.

- It's not just the food with her. She's so bizarre. She goes full throttle with this Stepford Wife Jell-O mold shtick but she's not married, she never had kids, she blew her way to the top...it's like she wants everyone in America to be unhappy and constipated.

- Politoco (barf) says the Times has a sitdown interview with him tomorrow. So, they're interviewing him on Tuesday for a supposed bombshell story people have been hearing about for a week? Smells lame.

oh and from gawker:
Also, according to WPIX: The story centers on a "woman" from "Buffalo," and the recent explosion in salacious rumors about Paterson's swinging personal life is due to a talkative "estranged wife of 'an aide extremely close to the governor'" who's going through a bitter divorce right now. If you know who that would be, let us know.
Meanwhile, New York magazine's Gabriel Sherman attempts to throw some cold water on the speculation:
According to a source close to the Paterson camp who is familiar with the scope of the Times' reporting, the Times piece will be an in-depth profile of the governor focused on his personal character. There are likely to be new details about his marital infidelities, but the source added that it's not going to be the bombshell the blogs have predicted. "The piece is PG-13, not XXX," the source explained. "Not to say it won't be problematic, but the Aqueduct situation? That's potentially criminal. On his extramarital affairs, the question is who those people are, and what jobs they've held."

- I'm just trying to prepare some of you for the letdown should this scandal be about something minor like consensual sex between Paterson and anything human. Perhaps this concerns not his genitals, but the whole "racino" deal. One possible defense: Others taking advantage of a blind man who never learned to read Braille.

nytimes article about the gang of four and how paterson's announcement marks the passing of a political era.
"David A Paterson was the great hope of Harlem’s Gang of Four. He was the instrument by which an extraordinary political quartet nurtured since professional infancy by the legendary Democratic leader J. Raymond Jones would impart their legacy to a younger generation of New York politicians."
