I am a Foley supporter as those regular readers of The Albany Project are well aware. Unlike the other posters I am a 3SD resident and by the way, Doug Ferand heard from me in Oswego last February when I came up with my wife to help out in the Aubertine campaign. The Times community of newspapers follows a Republican lean in their bias. The comments against Foley is ludicrous as no State Senator has been a backbencher longer than Caesar Trunzo! Dan's failure to even note the The Times bias in reporting only reinforces his pro Dahroug bias! Now Michael Bouldin and I shared some strong words on the Albany Project when Chris Bodkin appeared to be the alternative candidate for Democrats like myself who felt a higher profile candidate was needed to take down Trunzo. That said, I agree with Bouldins post here that Dan is il advised to tear down either of these candidates as one of them will be after September 9th our only alternative to Trunzo! I also agree with Michaels defense of Doug who works tirelessly to search out, organize and elect Democrats to office. To define his motives as a powermonger is patently unfair to Doug and further deminishes any future opinions I may read from Dan Jacoby. There is no need for progressives to attack one another because we are on opposite sides of a primary!
