>>Christine Quinn’s Campaign Blasts Bill Thompson Over Al D’Amato
By Colin Campbell 5/16 1:32pm
In what may be the most direct and harsh attack to emerge from her campaign so far, Council Speaker Christine Quinn took her Democratic rival Bill Thompson to task today for his cross-partisan support from former Senator Al D’Amato.
“Al D’Amato isn’t just anti-woman,” an email from Ms. Quinn’s campaign declared to supporters, “he is anti-choice, anti-Medicare, and anti-civil rights. He also had the dubious honor of being known as the most investigated Senator in New York history.”
Earlier this morning, the New York Times profiled Mr. D’Amato’s extensive fund-raising efforts for Mr. Thompson. In the piece, Mr. D’Amato slammed Ms. Quinn as “a political boss in the worst sense.” Earlier this week, Mr. D’Amato also mocked Ms. Quinn for revealing she had suffered from bulimia and alcoholism.
Reacting to this, the Quinn campaign declared that Mr. D’Amato, a Republican who lost to now-Senator Chuck Schumer in 1998, would gain a “toehold in City Hall” if his candidate won.>>> http://politicker.com/2013/05/christine-quinns-campaign-blasts-bill-thompson-over-al-damato/
Why any DEM primary candidate would WANT his endorsement is beyond me. But...... there it is.
