Remember Me?

Oh, lookie--here's a new candidate (not Harold Ford), determined to unseat New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand:
The problems go across the board – astronomical debt, out-of-control spending and taxes, federal decisions that undermine our security, health care legislation that would appall the drafters of the Constitution, and more. ...

In the past month, my motivation to run has intensified ... because I believe the Obama administration has defiantly and wrongly continued to move our country down a perilous path for New York and the nation.

Well, it's a free country. But I'll venture that sometime before the campaign is over, someone might let slip that the candidate is former Chief Economist of Bear Stearns--yes, that Bear Stearns, first off the cliff in the great meltdown, and first to have its hard landing softened by a great slug of taxpayer money (in this case, a $30 billion "loan" [heh!] to grease a forced marriage with JP Morgan Chase). To have a constant reminider of the greed, rapacity and mismanagement that led us all into so sorry a pickle--why a paranoid might think this candidacy was sponsored by the Obama administration itself.
