Soxblog Punditry: William Weld Will Be The Next Governor of New York

And he says that as an outspoken non-fan of Weld.

For all the criticisms of RINO's, let's face it, in some states only a RINO has any sort of shot of being elected to any statewide office. You can have your principles or you can have your victories, and in cases where both are possible (like, say, with Pat Toomey's bid to knock off Alren Specter last cycle), you should take your shot at both. (Which Bush and the Republican Establishment did not.)

But in liberal New York -- represented in the Senate by popular Senators Hillary! Rodham and Chuck Schumer -- an anti-tax social liberal is as close as you're likely to come to a genuine conservative. At least as far as actually winning a high office.

Thanks to the Blogometer.

PS: They'll never outlaw abortion in New York, even if Roe v. Wade is overturned and that policy-decision devolves to the state where it belongs, so supporting a pro-choice Republican is a zero-cost move. It costs you nothing. If 47 states outlawed or severely restricted abortion, you could still get third-trimester abortions in New York, always and forever.

You've got to move out of that urban death-maze, ace. I'll watch your apartment, if you want.

"If 47 states outlawed or severely restricted abortion, you could still get third-trimester abortions in New York, always and forever"

Very sad. But then NYC is the place where 'selective reductions' have become mainstream so I guess I shouldn't be suprised.

On topic: In 1970, New York's Gov Nelson Rockefeller signed a bill into law that allowed abortion (more or less on demand) during the first six months of pregnancy. The legislature later attempted to roll it back to the first three months, but Rocky vetoed the bill and the legislature failed to override the veto. Remember, this was three years before Roe v Wade.
(And liberals think they're the one who know history!)

The Senators with the higest approval margins (positives approval minus percent of negative job approval responses) are RINOS Snowe and Collins of Maine at 57, 56 margins) followed by DINO Lieberman at 55. Obama has a 52 point margin in his state. McCain at 47. Porkmeister Ted Stevens of Alaska has a 46 point approval.

Senators with the lowest approval margins of all are 100% Conservative Religious Righters Coburn of Oklahoma(-3), Mel Martinez of Florida (-1) and Santorum of Pennsylvania.(-4). More voters now hate their job performance than approve. Mike Dewine of Ohio and Lisa Murkowki are also showing a negative margins.

Lowest ranking Dems are the ones in the solid liberal camp - Corzine, Lautenberg, Johnson.

Oof. Reviewers do not like Scary Movie 6. The criticism I keep hearing is that the movie mistakes a reference for an actual joke. The movie (they say) keeps Key Jangling a reference to another movie (or some other pop culture ephemera) and you expect there to be a joke but nope, the Key Jangle was the joke. Other reviewers say that the promise that "no lines will be uncrossed" is a fake-out, and that the movie is bland and inoffensively corporate.
Whoops! I posted about Dan Goldman losing the NY congressional primary. He might do that, but it won't be tonight -- the primary isn't held until June 23.
One race to keep an eye on: the Levi's heir nepo baby and egregious "Designated Liar" Dan Goldman -- one of the Democrats from a safe district Democrats send out to spread their most indefensible lies -- may actually lose his lower Manhattan/Brooklyn set due to, get this, antisemitism in the Democrat primary electorate.
Antisemitism? In the anti-Nazi Democrat Party? Sounds crazy, I know, but apparently the anti-Nazi Party wants to eliminate Jews.

Democrat Senator Rueben Gallego, who served his wife with divorce papers when she was nine months pregnant so that he could marry his side-piece, counsels us that we should not judge Graham Platner for his infidelity because these things are personal matters, Racists:

Sahil Kapur
@sahilkapur

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., on Platner: "We know that Graham has lived not your typical political experience. He's been very clear and open with his wife, and they worked through whatever they worked through. At the end of the day, this man has had 60 more town halls than Susan Collins has. He's winning the polls, he's willing to accept that he has grown as a person, and I think we should accept that."

Gallego says the drip-drip of revelations won't harm Platner's campaign.

"I think you guys are all in a bubble here right now. The drip, drip that's actually happening is Americans are really, really hurt the fact that gas is still high, food is still high, they can't buy a home, you can't afford rent. They're not going to care about text messages and everything else like that that happened years ago, especially when it was worked out between spouses."

I like that he says that it's okay that Graham Platner sexted 12 different women within months of marrying the woman to sponge off her because he wasn't then "living a political life" -- the clear meaning being, "We all cheat, we just don't cheat when we're running for office, and he didn't know he was running for office when he was sending dicpics to half the women he ran into."
Except he was running: His own wife turned the sexts over to his campaign.
And obviously Reuben Gallego didn't let his "political life" get in the way of his extramarital dating life:

Funny -- if you don't mind clicking on TikTok. "Amy.Pranks.22" set up an AI scam-call screener which replies to a foreign scammer trying to get her bank information with Trumpian bluster. This might be fake because I don't see how a program can respond in real time, but it's funny.

The ULA rocket just launched
Thanks to Joyenz
The rocket's enormous engines are fueled by "the volcanic heterosexual lust between James Talarico and his Neighbor With a Uterus 'girlfriend'"
I hope Amazon's rocket works better than the Amazon Prime app does as far as allowing people to watch the black and white version of "Spider-Noir"
From the CA Post:

Spencer Pratt is now Karen Bass' biggest headache.

A bombshell California Post poll conducted with McLaughlin & Associates shows the reality TV star-turned-mayoral candidate has surged to a statistical tie with the incumbent mayor.

And voters blame homelessness, affordability and the direction of Los Angeles as the reason for turning on Bass.

Pratt now leads the field with 30.1% support, compared with 29.5% for Bass, setting up a razor-thin race heading into next week's primary.

Socialist councilwoman Nithya Raman sits in third place at 23.4%.

Thanks to beckster
Just like "Spartacus" Corey Booker, now that James Talarico is running for a higher office, he unveils his previously-unknown "girlfriend" and hooboy, it just so happens she used to work for him, and, get this, likes to "dance the night away" at gay bars
Gee I wonder where they might have met
Oh and she's a vegan
When Corey Booker needed a "girlfriend," he conjured up known LGBTQ activist Rosario Dawson. How convenient that when these guys need a girlfriend to show off to the normies that just happen to find an activist with a strong history of and interest in Supporting Gay Men
But seriously, this James Talarico romance with a Neighbor with a Uterus is a love story for the ages. The passion of their lovemaking is hotter than a blue star with a core of Primordial Sex Atoms created in the Big Bang
And just like that, #PunchANazi became Punch a Ballot for a Nazi
