But she seems to be especially odious, has nothing to offer except for attacks on the POTUS.

Meet Congressional Candidate Aaron Woolf at May 12th Event in Queensbury [View all] Rhiannon12866 May 2014 OP

I see he is not going to have a primary. hrmjustin May 2014 #1

Thank you so much! Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #4

Do you think the dems will win in Novermber? hrmjustin May 2014 #6

I'm the wrong one to ask, since I never dreamed Bush* would persevere in 2004 Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #7

oh my! hrmjustin May 2014 #8

LOL, yes, I have heard of him Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #9

My mother called told him off at a parade earlier this year. hrmjustin May 2014 #10

Kudos to your mother!!! Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #11

Well she had a walker so he would have certainly been in trouble if he did tgat to a 66 year old hrmjustin May 2014 #12

LOL! Did you see Bill Maher tonight? Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #13

I didn't get to see it but I will make sure I do in the next few days. hrmjustin May 2014 #14

He sounds more like a Dem than Owens, that's for sure!!! Cooley Hurd May 2014 #2

Indeed! I hope he can get elected there. hrmjustin May 2014 #3

I was wondering if you'd heard of him, he's a documentary filmmaker Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #5

The Republicans are having a moment. hrmjustin May 2014 #15

Matt Doheny ran against Bill Owens in the last election - and lost. Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #16

Hopefully it backfires on both of them. hrmjustin May 2014 #17

Hoping they cancel each other out... Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #18

I hope the meetup goes well. hrmjustin May 2014 #25

Well, Aaron Woolf looks nice! Good Luck, Rhiannon! Cha May 2014 #19

Thanks! I'm certainly wishing him well! Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #20

He sounds really smart and is heartfelt.. more than qualified! Cha May 2014 #21

That's certainly true of Republican Elise Stefanik, seems to be especially objectionable: Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #22

Gross. Cha May 2014 #23

Seeing these signs around here make my blood run cold. Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #24

kicking because I am unpinning this. I hope it went well. hrmjustin May 2014 #26

Thanks so much, Justin, and I think it went very well! Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #27

Sounds llike it was a great night. hrmjustin May 2014 #28

He sounds pretty progressive, to me Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #29

Well I am glad you can support him. hrmjustin May 2014 #30

I'd prefer if I'd even been to the northern town he's from, LOL Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #31

Redistricting is the worst. hrmjustin May 2014 #32

Oddly, redistricting gave us a Democrat, Bill Owens Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #33

We got pretty much the same district in my area. hrmjustin May 2014 #34

I'll wait till something comes to me Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #37

I understand. hrmjustin May 2014 #39

If you have a pets name you might use it. hrmjustin May 2014 #35

I already did, LOL! Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #36

Lol thats great. hrmjustin May 2014 #38

So many names are already taken on DU Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #40

What an adorable dog. I got 5 cats. hrmjustin May 2014 #41

Really?! I never knew! Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #42

Adorable! hrmjustin May 2014 #43

Reminds me that I need to clean the litter box tonight. Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #44

I had a beagle for 13 years when I was younger but no other dogs. hrmjustin May 2014 #45

I've had dogs since I was a kid Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #46

Puppys have too much enetgy. kittens are worse because they zoom through the house. hrmjustin May 2014 #47

I adopt senior dogs since they're the ones who need me. Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #48

All my cats were stray cats that crossed my path. hrmjustin May 2014 #49

That's wonderful. Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #50

I don't trust photobucket so I don't post my pics of them. hrmjustin May 2014 #51

I learned about Photobucket here on DU Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #52

I kniw people here that had there identity revealed by them and cavers got that info. hrmjustin May 2014 #53

I know that some banned/disgruntled DUers go there Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #54

the cave is down now and they go to the conservativeunderground.com now. hrmjustin May 2014 #55

That's almost as bad... Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #56

this is why I won't use that site photobucket. hrmjustin May 2014 #57

You can have "private" albums on Photobucket... Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #58

Do you have to pay? hrmjustin May 2014 #59

No, only if you have some huge amount of photos. Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #60

I will look into it one day. hrmjustin May 2014 #61

If I can figure out Photobucket, anyone can, LOL. Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #62

We shall see how it goes. hrmjustin May 2014 #63

Owens supports Woolf for Congress hrmjustin May 2014 #64

Good stuff! Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #65

I have relatives in southern Dutchess County. hrmjustin May 2014 #66

Maybe I talked to them, LOL. Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #67

Plattsburgh is the Canadian border so that is too far for you. hrmjustin May 2014 #68

I know! It is practically in Canada... Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #69

I have relatives up there. hrmjustin May 2014 #70

It certainly is! Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #71

I love our Senator and that was Patersons best moment picking her. hrmjustin May 2014 #72

I totally agree! Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #73

Too bad her husband didn't run for the seat. hrmjustin May 2014 #74

She endorsed Scott Murphy, lives not far from me in Glens Falls Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #76

How many votes did he win by? hrmjustin May 2014 #79

365 or 395, something like that. Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #80

That is close but others have been closer. hrmjustin May 2014 #82

I remember when Caroline Kennedy was up for that Senate position. hrmjustin May 2014 #75

And she doesn't forget her old district... Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #77

That is important. We need upstate representation in Albany. hrmjustin May 2014 #78

I agree, though the population is much sparser up here. Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #81

I bet their are a lot of dairy farms up there. hrmjustin May 2014 #83

NY21: Is Elise Stefanik a fresh new voice or a carpetbagger? hrmjustin May 2014 #84

If she's from Albany, that's "local" to me Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #86

Is she tea party? hrmjustin May 2014 #87

As much as Paul Ryan is. I'm wondering if she can survive the primary since she's an unknown Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #88

The more I look at your district I think Wolf can win. hrmjustin May 2014 #89

I certainly hope so, but they did vote for a teabagger in 2010... Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #90

It looks like we have 6 or 7 swing districts in NY this year. hrmjustin May 2014 #91

Stefanik on the campaign trail hrmjustin May 2014 #85

What role will unions play in race for NY21? hrmjustin May 2014 #92

Quite a bit, I'd say, since the Aaron Woolf meetup was at the new Steamfitters Union building Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #94

Glad to hear it. Union support is huge in the primaries in the city. hrmjustin May 2014 #96

There's a lot of union support in these parts, just hope it benefits Aaron Woolf. Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #99

if Cuomo does ok up there it should help. hrmjustin May 2014 #101

Obama won the district both times Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #106

Doesn't say here. hrmjustin May 2014 #109

Yikes! This is huge! Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #112

I think it is the largest district in NY and the 2nd or 3rd in the Northeast. hrmjustin May 2014 #114

District 20 went to the South, included Greene and Dutchess counties Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #118

I just read on a rw link that the district both times voted for Obama. hrmjustin May 2014 #119

That makes sense, since he won here, too. Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #124

RI and Mass are solidly dem but had Gop governors a long time as nyc had gop mayors for 20 years. hrmjustin May 2014 #125

And the Republican brand has changed, as well Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #129

Yes. VT NJ and NH were republican states in the presidential races until 1992. hrmjustin May 2014 #132

It seems like Governor Rockefeller was in office for most of my life Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #134

My family is fridnds with Senator Marty Golden here but we don't vote for him. hrmjustin May 2014 #136

My Dad was friends with all the local Republicans, was politically active Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #140

My mother was always a democrat. my father is a registered republican but hasn't voted gop since hrmjustin May 2014 #142

My Dad was a Republican because my grandmother was Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #146

We hated Bush jr. in my family. Papa Bush was not hated but we didn't want him. hrmjustin May 2014 #149

My mother really liked Poppy and Barbara Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #154

Sounds. like Clinton turnec a lot of people. hrmjustin May 2014 #157

Larry Sabato has this race as a toss-up. hrmjustin May 2014 #93

Great! Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #97

I think the woman candidate is more tea party. hrmjustin May 2014 #98

Most of what I've read about her is the controversy about where she's from Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #102

The adirondackdailyenterprise.com has interesting articles on the race. hrmjustin May 2014 #103

Thanks! I should look that up... Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #107

Yes. You guys don't get mailers before a vote from the election board? hrmjustin May 2014 #110

Yes, you're right. But I don't recall getting one recently Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #113

Maybe next week. hrmjustin May 2014 #115

Guess I should pass this info on to my brother Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #120

Lol I was so proud of her when she won here. I hope she runs for president. hrmjustin May 2014 #122

Me, too! She'll have my vote! Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #126

He wad under tremendous pressure not to but he rightly did it anyway. hrmjustin May 2014 #127

Wasn't his first choice Caroline Kennedy? Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #131

No the media and the Kenndies along with Obama pushed him on it but he said no. hrmjustin May 2014 #133

I remember that was a controversy, a big story at the time Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #135

Yeah that was a bummer. hrmjustin May 2014 #137

They say that the midterms favor the opposition party Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #141

I don't think it will be a big gop year. hrmjustin May 2014 #143

I certainly hope not! Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #147

the polls don't show a wave at this point. hrmjustin May 2014 #150

The key, I think, is getting the vote out Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #155

They need to soon. it is a huge district. hrmjustin May 2014 #158

Primary Day Looms for NY 21st District Candidates Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #95

I don't get the 2 primary system we have in this state now. hrmjustin May 2014 #100

I had to look it up because I was confused. Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #104

This has to do with some federal law that Schumer put in. I think the pri ary should be on one day hrmjustin May 2014 #105

I agree. Getting folks out numerous times is confusing, leads to lower turnout and higher expense Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #108

indeed. I am sure their are motives for it. someone is making money off of it. hrmjustin May 2014 #111

Seems like we're always having Republican primaries around here Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #116

We got plenty of dem primaries down here and few gop ones. hrmjustin May 2014 #117

Until Kirsten Gillibrand ran, and won, in 2006 Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #121

Wow. I remember reading thst NY was a swing state several decades ago. hrmjustin May 2014 #123

New York is only considered a blue state because of the city. Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #128

Sweeney was considered a possible speaker at one point. hrmjustin May 2014 #130

He really has gone way downhill... Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #138

We had Congressman Fossela who got drunk and drove. His mistress bailed him out. hrmjustin May 2014 #139

Exactly! LOL! Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #144

You think he might run again? hrmjustin May 2014 #145

Absolutely no way. He's toast... Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #148

Good. He had the look of a drunk. hrmjustin May 2014 #151

Yup, here's my distinguished former congressman: Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #152

That is priceless. hrmjustin May 2014 #153

These pix of him getting drunk with frat boys and his DWI arrests Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #156

I remember. also his wife calldd 911 on him. hrmjustin May 2014 #159

Tupper Lake reps divided on Congress race hrmjustin May 2014 #160

The race for NY21 takes on the plot of a political novel hrmjustin May 2014 #161

Romney Endorses Stefanik In NY-21 hrmjustin May 2014 #162

Doheny poll puts him ahead-bull poll. hrmjustin May 2014 #163

Matt Doheny, Elise Stefanik debate in 21st Congressional District race hrmjustin May 2014 #164

Everything ok? hrmjustin May 2014 #165

Sorry, Justin! How are you? Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #166

no problem. just wanted to make sure you are ok. hrmjustin May 2014 #167

Thank you, my friend! Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #168

lol. I heard they debated in thd gop primary in your district and Romney endorsed the male candidate hrmjustin May 2014 #169

I'm not surprised! But, remember, Obama won the district. I'm more worried about Elise. :( Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #170

Oh he is one of Fox's pretend famous people. hrmjustin May 2014 #171

Well, he didn't have much of an impact on the voters... Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #172

It looks like your old district became the 19th district. hrmjustin May 2014 #173

I think that it also encompasses part of District 22 Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #174

The UAW endorsed the democrat. hrmjustin May 2014 #175

Thanks for the heads up! I wish him luck... Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #176

Sounds a lot like 2010. hrmjustin May 2014 #177

It scares me when they predict Republicans winning the midterms Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #178

I think if the dems play their cards right they can win seats in the house. hrmjustin May 2014 #179

Something really has to give there - and soon. Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #180

It stinks being in the minority in the house. hrmjustin May 2014 #181

Agreed, and just now has to be the worst Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #182

Gingrich changed all that. hrmjustin May 2014 #183

I think Hastert was culpable too... Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #184

Indeed he was as was Delay. hrmjustin May 2014 #185

Not to mention his dancing! Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #186

lol. hrmjustin May 2014 #187

One of the posts that made me laugh the hardest here was very short Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #188

he quit the show like he did congress. hrmjustin May 2014 #189

Didn't he have bad feet, or something? ;) Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #190

He had a so called health issue and had to stop on the show. hrmjustin May 2014 #191

How long has it been? Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #193

Well the appeals court threw out his conviction but the higher courts are dealing with it now. hrmjustin May 2014 #195

here is a link. hrmjustin May 2014 #197

Thanks! Made sure to check the date on that article, LOL Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #199

I don't trust the courts with him. hrmjustin May 2014 #201

Given the history of this, me neither Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #202

I always thought he was the devil incarnate. hrmjustin May 2014 #204

He was clearly one of the worst Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #206

He was the one responsible for the Clinton impeachment. hrmjustin May 2014 #208

Which was one of the worst wastes of time and tax money in history! Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #211

And Bush was not impeached. hrmjustin May 2014 #213

Doheny vs. Stefanik in first debate hrmjustin May 2014 #192

Thanks! Wish I'd seen that. I don't like him, voted against him, but dislike her more Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #194

my guess is he will win the primary. hrmjustin May 2014 #196

I guess that's my hope, since he lost the last time... Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #198

It is good that the dems don't have a primary. hrmjustin May 2014 #200

They had one once, 2004 I think Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #203

I am glad he is the candidate. hrmjustin May 2014 #205

Me, too! I liked all I heard and he's a good speaker Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #207

Or his own balcony! hrmjustin May 2014 #209

LOL! Rhiannon12866 May 2014 #210

I think people here are getting tired of Grimm. hrmjustin May 2014 #212
