Dicey Times
Life is growing bleaker for Alan Hevesi. Elliot Spitzer has determined that Hevesi owes another $90,000 in the Driving Mrs. Hevesi scandal, the independent prosecutor George Pataki appointed to investigate the case has wrapped up his investigation, and the nose is tightening in the polls (4 to 12 points). Honestly, I'm getting a bit nervous that Hevesi may lose this election. IMO, Chris Callaghan is in no way qualified to be NYS Comptroller, and I'm afraid we may get stuck with him for four years. The best scenario, as repulsive as it seems, is for Hevesi to win the election and then get replaced once he's tossed from office. Still, I cannot bring myself to vote for him and will abstain from the Comptroller balloting.
