(255,769 posts)I have to give him credit for starting early, LOL, it seems like it was immediately after the election. But it's certainly a relief that someone is stepping up. When John Sweeney ran year after year, he often didn't have a challenger and there wasn't much Democratic support until Kirsten Gillibrand's campaign - which won!
And given the anger being directed at Stefanik, anyone challenging her is bound to attract public interest and support. But can he keep up interest and momentum for a year and a half?
Jimmy Carter was my first candidate, liked him right from the start. I didn't know much about politics - or much of anything - LOL - but the more I've learned about him over the years - and especially from listening to his 2014 autobiography more than once, the more I realize my beliefs about him were spot on.
