A hard line
Tom Watson: Dear Governor-Elect Spitzer...
Yet the Working Families Party clearly wants to keep the State Senate in Republican hands. That's why it's voted "no endorsement" in the crucial rematch between Nicholas Spano and Andrea Stewart-Cousins, when its endorsement of the Republican Spano pushed him over the top in their first race. That's why it's endorsed Republicans like John DeFrancisco, Dale Volker, and George Maziarz - all of who received dead-solid F's in the Drum Major Institute's five-year legislative scorecard measuring votes on issues vital to the middle class.
I have always voted the WFP line when avalable, and had been planning on doing so this year as well. as a mater of fact, I had just said (right after "Vote straight Democratic," which in NY this year is pretty much a no-brainer) "And vote for them on the Working Families line where possible." But then I ran across this post. Vote Dem, but forget the Working Families part. I like my progressives progressive.
