Real leaders are sorely lacking in New York, but nowhere is this more true than the GLOW counties (Genesee, Livingston, Orleans, and Wyoming). Today, our State Senators (Volker and Ranzenhofer) have joined other upstate Republicans to start another round of "Look at that Shiny Object Over There," the game we have been playing forever with the same lackluster results. Follow me over the fold to read about today's counterproductive move.
I was just reading Liz's post on the money trail during the New York State Senate battle and whether or not personal feelings played too strong of a role on both sides of the aisle and where the DSCC's and SRCC's money went.
On the Democratic side, the race in the 56th Senate District was one that Liz used to argue her point. The DSCC spent a lot of money on Rick Dollinger. As Liz pointed out, that race was seen as a competitive one because Dolliger is a former senator and he received key backing from Governor David Paterson, who served in the Senate with Dollinger.
But was it truly a waste? I don't think so. The results of the race show that Sen. Joe Robach only beat Dollinger by 4,889 votes. Percentage wise, that comes out to a 52-48 win for Robach. It wasn't nearly a double-digit blowout that Siena showed it to be and it wasn't a waste. There are a few other factors that come into play (like Robach's cowardly way of not telling people what party he is a member of) and in the end, Dollinger only lost by a rather small margin.
Then there is the Jim Gennaro and Frank Padavan race in SD-11. This one shocked the Republicans as Gennaro is within Padavan by 723 votes at last check. Gennaro outraised Padavan and the DSCC only invested over $4,000 in that race.
So were our priorities misplaced? As someone I talked to today said, even if we do end up losing Gennaro's seat, now we have a target for 2010. The same can or could be said for other seats, even Robach's. And as always, hindsight is 20-20. We can look back on it and now and say we should have spent more money and sent more resources there or here, but it won't do any good. Learn from our mistakes this time and make sure next time we compete in other areas.
I'm not satisfied with only two pickups. I was hoping for at least three and was really disappointed that SD-56 and/or SD-61 didn't go our way. We had great candidates in both but it didn't work out. That said, there was a time when I thought SD-11 was competitive but my opinion is only from afar. People on the ground there had other opinions and I'm sure, at the time, their opinions were quite valid. But it is hard to argue against that kind of enrollment advantage in that district. If Dollinger was targeted for, among other things, his district's enrollment advantage, Gennaro's should have been as well.
But again, 2010 looks just as good. And I think we can pick up more than two seats next time with the possibility of some special elections mixed in.
So I've been working on running down the details of the infamous "black eyes" incident which befell Joe Robach last summer right before the summer special session. Here's what I know. I know the names of the woman involved as well as her Monroe County Sheriff Deputy husband, the one that kicked Joe's ass after he found the Senator and his wife in the act. I'm wary of naming them in full, especially the husband, because lord knows, it's not like he asked to have a New York State Senator make the moves on his wife.
I've also learned that he has been having promotion problems at work and that more than a few people assume it is in retribution for smacking Robach around. Honestly, I feel a pretty great deal of sympathy for the guy.
That said, here's the skinny. Janine S------ was a Robach employee. She worked for Robach until last summer. Her husband, Tom S------, is a deputy sheriff in Monroe County.
He comes home one night to find Robach and his wife in the act. Needless to say, he was less than happy about this. He and (a naked) Robach get into a shouting match that eventually leads to a physical altercation. Let's just say the deputy won. He then kicked Robach, naked and worse for wear out on the front porch and called his wife to come pick his sorry ass up.
The deputy then tells his superiors what has happened and how he just kicked a Senator's ass. He does fully expecting to be in some sort of trouble. The deputy's bosses tell him to just keep quiet about it. He does and he has done so to this day, as far as I can tell.
But, he has suffered. There seems to be every indication that Robach is making the guy's life difficult, especially on the job. I mean, like it was the deputy's fault or something.
This story has been rumbling around out there for over a year and now a number of media outlets have started to make inquiries, one even went so far as to FOIL documents from both the the Monroe County SD as well as from Robach's own office. Which one? Think John Edwards.
The local GOP committees all know about this as does Skelos' SRCC. The SRCC even went so far as to warn Robach that they would pull out of his race if this story broke. They've done a pretty good job at keeping this story at no more than a low boil for months now.
Hopefully, that will end soon.
More on the way.
UPDATE: The Robach Files has a much more interesting take and a hell of a funny (albeit fake) photo.
The new Siena Polls on four state Senate Races are out this morning and it is a decidedly mixed bag.
7th SD - Nassau County - Craig Johnson (D, incumbent) vs. Barbara Donno (R)
Johnson has a 50-35 percent lead over Donno, down from a 49-25 percent lead in the previous Siena New York Poll. Johnson has the support of more than three-quarters of Democrats, while Donno has the support of more than two-thirds of Republicans. Johnson has a nearly two-to-one lead among independent voters, 50-28 percent, up from 36-24 percent in the last poll. Donno's overall gain in the poll comes largely from Republican voters, where she went from leading 47-28 percent, to now leading 68-19 percent.
Johnson is viewed favorably by 40 percent and unfavorably by 28 percent of voters (36-17 percent last poll). Donno currently has a 29-23 percent favorable rating (16-9 percent last poll).
...
37th SD - Westchester County - Suzi Oppenheimer (D, incumbent) vs. Liz Feld (R)
Oppenheimer has maintained a large 64-29 percent lead over Feld, down slightly from 61-24 percent in the previous poll. While Oppenheimer has support from 88 percent of Democrats, Feld is only winning among Republicans 64-30 percent. Oppenheimer has a better than two-to-one, 59-28 percent, lead among independent voters. Oppenheimer leads in every region and with virtually every demographic group.
...
56th SD - Monroe County - Joseph Robach (R, incumbent) vs. Richard Dollinger (D)
Robach leads Dollinger 52-39 percent, edging up slightly from 49-38 percent in the last poll. Robach has the support of 84 percent of Republicans and 34 percent of Democrats in this district with a large Democratic enrollment edge. Dollinger has the support of 55 percent of Democrats and 13 percent of Republicans. Robach leads among independent voters 56-37 percent, up from 46-34 percent. Dollinger leads by 11 points in Rochester and eight points in Brighton, however, Robach leads 67-27 percent in Greece and Parma.
...
Obama has a commanding 61-32 percent lead over McCain.(!)
Volker has a 50-39 percent lead over Konst, down six points from the last poll, when he led 50-33 percent. Volker has the support of three-quarters of Republicans, while Konst wins among Democrats 60-28 percent. Konst now leads among independent voters 47-40 percent, after trailing with these voters 43-28 percent previously. Volker has a small three - point lead in the Erie County portion of the district and a large 23-point lead in the Livingston/Ontario/Wyoming Counties portion of the district.
Much, much work to do. If you are in or near the 56th or the 59th, now is the time to get off the bench. I still think that the Rocbach/Dollinger race is going to turn largely on the Obama GOTV effort. Obama leads McCain 2-1 in that district and the urban parts of Rochester are going to be key. If you are anywhere near there, now is the time to get involved. This is a winnable race, folks.
This morning I posted about a possible FOIL request by a "supermarket tabloid" into the infamous "black eye" incident last year involving Joe Robach. I have been able to confirm that this story is indeed true and that the same entity, a national publication you know quite well, has submitted not one, but two FOIL requests to learn more. The requests were made to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office as well as to Joe Robach himself. Given that the targets of such requests are made known of them and the fact that one of these requests were made to the Senator's own office, maybe some enterprising journalist should ask him about it. And they shouldn't take "I don't know what you are talking about" as an answer because that's just simply not true. He knows. They all know.
Another source tells me that the requests caused quite a stir in both the Robach camp as well as the GOP's Senate Campaign Committee and that a number of different media outlets have been looking into the story. The same source also says that the SRCC told Robach weeks ago when the these FOIL requests were made, that if a story about this broke, they would pull out of his race altogether.
There's more to come and I'm working this one hard. I'll just say that what I've learned so far is pretty damn troubling.
Local watchblog The Robach Files says that they have learned that a FOIL request has been submitted for documents related to the semi-legendary "Black Eye" incident.
My very good friend from way back is a republican. We've been friends since 10th grade, so I have long since forgiven them. They are fairly tight in the Monroe county GOP. They'll vote for McCain I guess, but they've never liked Joe Robach. Well they just called and let me know that Robach and the local republican brain trust are freaking out because a "supermarket tabloid" (I guess that means a national one like the Enquirer) put in a FOIL request to learn more about the infamous "Black Eye" affair.
They say Robach is all pissed off and yelling at people. Sounds like Joe to me.
I wonder if a story will come out before the voting starts?
I'm not sure what documents they are seeking, but I would imagine that they have to do with the husband of the woman involved. The versions of this story that I have always heard say that the woman, (who was a Robach staffer, btw) was married to a sheriffs deputy and that the deputy immediately reported to his superiors that he'd knocked Robach around a little after catching him in the act. There probably is a paper trail there somewhere and I'm assuming that's what this reporter is looking for. Also, the source says that it's a "supermarket tabloid" that is doing the investigating here. I can't say that I know of any such publications that aren't national. Anyone know any different?
Is there any way to confirm that a FOIL request has been made?
Over the weekend, we received reports that something fishy was going on in the 56th Senate District. Reportedly, volunteers for Sen. Joe Robach were going door-to-door telling voters to vote for Barack Obama and "Democrat" Joe Robach.
Today, Rick Dollinger responded to these reports and immediately called on Robach to set the record straight.
"Over the past several days my campaign has received numerous reports from within the city of Rochester and the town of Brighton alleging that Robach campaign volunteers have been going door-to-door in predominately Democratic neighborhoods asking voters to vote for Barack Obama and, much to my surprise, 'Democrat' Joe Robach.
This goes far beyond the typical dirty tricks we have come to expect from Republicans. And, I find the Robach campaign's general disregard for voters appalling. Chalk this one up as another malicious attempt by State Senate Republicans to deceive voters in an effort to hold onto their slipping majority.
This deliberate manipulation lends further evidence to the argument that Republican Joe Robach will do whatever it takes to win, even if it means deceiving the same community he so frequently boasts his dedication to.
I am demanding that the Robach campaign immediately put a stop to this fraud, and that in the final days of the campaign we return to talking about the issues that matter to our community."
It is a manipulation, but throughout this race Robach has avoided calling himself what he is: A Republican. If he can't be honest to the voters about his party affiliation, how can the voters know he is ever telling the truth?
This is a real battle in the 56th Senate District. Rick Dollinger is giving Sen. Joe Robach a run for his money - literally and figuratively.
In the figurative sense, this race is tight. There is one interesting factor in this race though. If you look at the chart below, you will see that Dollinger has considerably more individual donors than Robach does. Robach leaned more on unions that have been friendly to Republicans, PACs and party committees for his money. Both candidates have also received a considerable amount of their money from transfers in by their respective state senate or state party committees. Take a look at the chart below:
Just a quick note: You will notice asterisks next to Dollinger's "In-Kind" money and Robach's Expenditure/Refunds section. The In-Kind payments made to Dollinger were listed as expenses in his filings because they were used to pay staff working on Dollinger's campaign. The refund listed in Robach's section was a total of two contributions that were refunded back to two different groups.
There is going to be plenty of money spent on this race in the coming days. I was told by someone involved in the race a number of months ago that this race would see both candidates spent $1 million. It's looking like they will come close or possibly exceed that number.
I watched the debate after the fact and it was really clear to me who the change candidate was. That was Rick Dollinger. Robach stuck to his pro-business talking points. He even resorted to aligning himself on multiple occasions with Democrats, a clear (or not-so clear) attempt at trying to win over members of the party that make up a larger part of the district. He made a number of references to Governor David Paterson and made at least one mention to Attorney General Andrew Cuomo when he took credit for working with Cuomo on setting up Project Sunlight.
Robach also used the same old Republican talking point about New York City and Democrats over and over again. That was a main theme of his whenever he would answer a question.
On taxes, he stressed that he supports both a tax cap AND circuit breaker - an interesting position that he has stood by even when many are split over both of those proposals. He believes (and believes correctly, in my view) that a tax cap CANNOT work without the circuit breaker. Remember - a tax cap won't lower your taxes by itself. It just caps the amount that your taxes can be raised. The New York Timessummed it up best:
Under the commission's preliminary proposal, counties, towns and school districts would be allowed to raise property taxes by 120 percent of the consumer price index or 4 percent each year, whichever is lower. Breaking the cap would require approval by at least 55 percent of the voters in a given district. And those districts that increased spending by less than the cap would be allowed to use a portion of the difference in future years.
In other words, instead of being able to raise your taxes by about seven percent a year (that has been the norm), taxes could only be raised up to four percent every year.
My favorite part of the debate was when the candidates asked each other a question. Listen to Dollinger's question to Robach and then listen to the beginning of Robach's response. He says that there is "good change and bad change." That was a bizarre line to me.
Dollinger won the debate. Dollinger is way too intelligent for Robach. Dollinger has a great grasp on the issues and when it comes to reforming Albany, not too many people (including sitting state senators) can match Dollinger's desire to change Albany and his plan for reforming the state Legislature. It's easy to utter the word "change." But it's another to propose ideas. People like ideas. And I think people will end up liking Dollinger and wanting him to be their state senator.
It looks like abortion will be an issue in at least one senate district this year as NARAL Pro-Choice New York has started to run an ad in the 56th Senate District against Sen. Joe Robach, a conservative Republican who is anti-choice.
Here is the ad:
NARAL Pro-Choice New York didn't give Robach a nice review for his stance on abortion. This is what they had to say about this ad and Robach's record on abortion:
On October 14th, NARAL Pro-Choice New York released a television spot in Monroe County exposing Joe Robach's seventeen year anti-choice voting record in Albany.
In his time in Albany, Joe Robach held an 83 percent voting record with the Right to Life Committee.
He voted to block poor women from receiving support to pay for abortion care and has sided with the most extreme anti-choice Republican elements.
Joe Robach would vote to outlaw abortion and treat women like criminals.
Kelli Conlin, President of NARAL Pro-Choice New York stated, "Joe Robach is spending a lot of money to try to convince the people of his district that he is an advocate for women. But the truth is he's dangerously out of touch with the women of Monroe County. Time and time again, he has chosen to side with the most anti-choice forces in the state legislature. He would vote to make abortion illegal and to treat women like criminals. We want women to be aware that Joe Robach doesn't represent them when it comes to the important issue of keeping abortion safe and legal."
Dollinger has made women's health issues and abortion key issues in this campaign. Below the fold you can find Dollinger's women's health plan that he unveiled last week.
It's nice to see NARAL Pro-Choice New York doing this for Dollinger. Going after Robach on these issues is a must because it really highlights what he's all about. He's a conservative Republican and he has been hiding that fact throughout this campaign. This ad is strong and paints Robach as the anti-choice candidate he is.
A reader writes in about our post on the Democrat and Chronicle piece on Joe Robach's and Jim Alesis's use of taxpayer-funded mailers:
The story was interesting and useful, and credits go to Jill Terreri (the writer) and the D&C for running it, but it was incomplete -- as was the quote in this post. The $35k she mentioned being spent by Alesi was, she said, the figure from October 2007 through March 2008. That's only a 6-month period, and NOT during campaign season. The problem is the mailers sent in the last 60 days, during his campaign, which we estimate cost taxpayers at least $100k, and more likely closer to $200.
The core problem is actually even bigger and more complicated than just mailings. The Senate runs pretty much like a Republican reelection machine. The internal rules for taxpayer funded mailings, which change frequently and are almost impossible to find in writing, are skewed heavily in favor of Republican incumbents.
The abuses extend into other campaign areas. Here's a little-known anecdote that I heard from sources unnamed that indicates how the machinery can work. In the 2006 campaign to defend Republican incumbent Nick Spano in SD-35, Senator Bruno, who controlled the purse strings, authorized an abrupt upsizing in Spano's staff, the hiring of an additional 18 staffers, who were then sent into the field as canvassers. Spano, if I understand the data correctly, won reelection by 418 votes.
It would be extremely interesting to track the staffing levels for incumbents on a month to month basis, and map it against the reelection campaign cycles.
And of course, that's not to mention member item handouts, no doubt all to good causes. These are actually a major, crucial tool in the "reelection machine" toolbox. Who's going to vote against Santa Claus?
Challengers Rick Dollinger, Joe Addabbo, and Brian X. Foley, along with incumbents Malcolm Smith, Eric Schniderman, and Andrea Stewart-Cousins were endorsed by New Yorkers Against Gun Violence and GunFreeKids.org primarily because their Republican opponents' voting records in favor of gun policies that belong in Kansas instead of New York
"For nearly eight years, the leadership in the State Senate has blocked almost every piece of common-sense gun legislation passed by the Assembly," said Andy Pelosi, President of GunFreeKids.org. "It's time for good policy to trump politics in the State Senate."
This year microstamping and improved gun dealer regulations - both important law enforcement tools to help investigate and pursue crime guns and the criminals who use them - are at the top of the groups' agendas. In 2008, the State Assembly passed both bills, but the Senate refused to act.
(snip)
The Endorsed State Senate Candidates Are:
Brian Foley, Third Senate District (Long Island)
Senator Malcolm Smith, 14th Senate District (Queens)
Joseph Addabbo, Jr., 15th Senate District (Queens)
Senator Eric Schneiderman, 31st Senate District (Manhattan/Bronx)
Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins, 35th Senate District (Westchester)
Rick Dollinger, 56th Senate District (Greater Rochester)
This should be a nice finger-in-the-eye of the rediculous argument that New York Republicans are more moderate than their national counterparts. They're not. And I believe this is a huge reason why New York's suburbs are trending Democratic. In fact, this week Nassau County officially became more Democratic than Republican:
For decades, voters in Nassau County elected no one but Republicans. The party machine was so powerful that President Ronald Reagan once said "when a Republican dies and goes to heaven it looks a lot like Nassau County."
The shift to Democratic began in 2001 with the election of County Executive Tom Suozzi.
As of Tuesday, Democrats outnumbered Republicans by 118 votes. In 2002, Republicans outnumbered Democrats by more than 66,000 votes.
Keep on going that extremist road, Sens. Maltese, Trunzo, and Robach- please.
If you live in Joe Robach's district, you've been receiving a few mailers each week from the State Senator over the past month. And you may have noticed that some of these mailers are marked "paid for by the New York State Senate." Because in New York, State Senators can send out mailers on the tax-payer's dime until 30 days before the election. Here's the the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle on this:
The cost of the mailings isn't clear. The latest government expenditure reports from state lawmakers, available on the Empire Center Web site, cover October 2007 to March 2008. During that time, Sen. Joseph Robach, R-Greece, spent $64,654 in state funds and Sen. James Alesi, R-Perinton, spent $35,666 on mailings.
A mailing sent during the last two weeks from Robach touts "Senator Joe Robach's Job Creation Plan" and states, "Senator Robach wants to slash taxes to make businesses more competitive and to bring new jobs here." The full-color mailer was printed and mailed at taxpayer expense.
Robach has sent out at least five such mailings this year, on topics ranging from property taxes to lead poisoning to education.
This is yet another example of the absurd ways in which New York State Legislators are able to milk the advantage of incumbency. And like most of the other examples, it involves wasting tax-payers money.
Last night I wrote about Christa Construction's big contributions to Sen. Joe Robach and other Republican state senate candidates. Now the Republicans are spinning this story by saying that not only has Christa Construction given to the Monroe County Democrats, but Robach's Democratic challenger Rick Dollinger has accepted money from George Soros.
Democratic State Senate candidate Richard Dollinger demanded Thursday that his incumbent opponent Joseph Robach, R-Greece, and his Senate Republican colleagues return more than $74,000 in campaign contributions from Christa Construction, the construction manager of a botched $120 million capital renovations project at the Greece Central School District completed in 2005.
Dollinger's campaign said Robach received $1,850 in contributions from Christa over the past six years, while other GOP Senators received $48,450 and the Senate Republican Campaign Committee received $24,000.
"The message, it seems to me, is very clear," Dollinger said Thursday outside Longridge Elementary School in Greece. "Senate Republicans and Joe Robach need to give back this ill-gotten taxpayer money to the town of Greece and the taxpayers in this community."
A spokesperson for the Senate Republican Campaign Committee criticized Dollinger's demands Thursday.
"It's clearly the height of hypocrisy since this same firm has been giving major contributions to the Monroe County Democratic Campaign Committee, as well as to local leaders of the Democratic Party like Mayor Duffy and Assemblyman Morelle," said Joe Conway, campaign committee spokesperson.
According to records filed with the state Board of Elections, the Monroe County Democratic Party received $7,250 from Christa in six contributions since October 2006. Christa's most recent contribution to the county Democratic party was in July 2007, records show.
If Soros is the best one you can come up with because he's for "drug legalization," I take it the Republicans and Joe Robach don't have a rebuttal to taking money from a construction company that robbed Greece blind. An audit of the Greece School District earlier this year by the Comptroller's office showed that there was a pattern of waste and abuse, especially when it came to capital projects.
As for the money that was given to the Monroe County Democrats, the point is that Dollinger has not received a penny from Christa Construction. Joe Robach has. Plus, the Republicans have benefited greatly from Christa Construction's money. Jim Alesi has been a recipient. Michael Nozzolio (SD-54) has been a recipient, among others. If Joe Robach cared about his home base of Greece so much, he would have defended his home school district and defended his hometown from this waste and abuse.
Instead, Joe Robach was bought and paid for and kept his mouth shut. That's not the type of representation the people of Greece and the 56th Senate District need.
The taxpayers of Greece know who Christa Construction is. Christa Construction profited from a botched renovation venture valued at $119.5 million. In all, Christa Construction made over $5.3 million from the deal.
So why does all this matter? Ask Sen. Joe Robach and the Senate Republicans. Today, Robach was called out by his Democratic opponent Rick Dollinger in a press conference where Dollinger called on Robach to return the contributions he has received from Christa Construction.
From the press release:
Democratic State Senate candidate Rick Dollinger today was joined by Greece taxpayers who slammed Robach and the Republicans, and demanded that these contributions be returned immediately.
Dollinger explained, "People can tell when someone is speaking out of both sides of their mouth, and that is exactly what Joe Robach and his Republican cronies are doing by taking this money and condoning this kind of unethical behavior. Robach and the Senate GOP must return this tainted money-particularly as our neighbors are working so hard to recoup these wasted funds." Today's event came days after citizens' groups filed an audit request with Attorney General Andrew Cuomo's office as part of their financial recuperation effort.
Christa was originally set to profit $3,999,400.00 for serving as contractor, but actually pocketed an additional $1,375,761.00.
So far, Christa Construction (through Christa Construction, LLC., Christa Development Corp. and David Christa) has donated more than $24,000 in recent years to the Senate Republican Campaign Committee (SRCC). An additional $50,300 was given to Senate Republicans, including $1,850 directly to Robach whose campaign coffers have been filled with $143,900 from the SRCC for this year's election.
For the record, not a single contribution has been made by Christa Construction to Dollinger or the Senate Democrats.
So why is this important? Here is a company being accused of robbing taxpayers of their money and who are they giving to? The Senate Republicans. Other Republicans have been on the receiving end of contributions from Christa Construction as well, but obviously the impact on Greece makes for an interesting story in SD-56.
There's been talk for weeks about some sort of overt support by the Governor for SD-56 challenger Rick Dollinger. Now CapCon is reporting that it will indeed happen.
Gov. David Paterson will attend a fundraiser for former Sen. Rick Dollinger, who is running against Republican incumbent Sen. Joe Robach.
The fundraiser is currently being organized by the Dollinger campaign, and Paterson will attend, confirmed state Democratic Party spokeswoman Carly Lindauer.
Paterson has said publicly that Dollinger is a friend and that helping him is an exception to his rule of not being overtly partisan in the fight for the Senate majority.
Paterson has attended fundraisers for other Senate Democrats - namely Eric Schneiderman and Liz Krueger, but this is the first fundraiser for a Senate challenger in a contested race against a Republican incumbent.
While I'm glad that the Governor seems to finally be coming out for candidates of his own party, I'm still a bit dismayed by the fact that it's expected of him not to do so. When did it become taboo for a sitting governor to support his own party's candidates? Why is it expected that Paterson shouldn't advocate for those challengers that share his views and will help pass the legislation to realize them?
Before Bush's presence became utterly toxic, he regularly would stump for GOP candidates. Ditto that for Clinton or loads of other Executives. Why is it expected that Paterson should do differently? Am I missing something?
Someone is polling the SD-56 race according to the good folks at Rochester Turning.
I was just polled in the Dollinger/Robach senate race. Only 4 questions...
1. What is the most important issue facing NY? Economy, high taxes, health card, education, gas prices or the cost of living
2. How would you describe yourself...Liberal, moderate or conservative? (The first time she asked the question, she said would you consider yourself liberal or conservative? I asked if those were the only choices and she reread it, adding moderate as a choice.
3. Is change or experience more important to you in selecting a candidate?
4. If the election were held today, who would I vote for, Dollinger or Robach?
Already two readers at RT have come forward to say that they have been polled. I'm curious to know if anyone else out there has gotten this call.
