Democrats Go to War in New York

With each other:

A couple of years ago an upstart black politician took on the establishment candidate and did remarkably well for himself. Well, at least until he was sworn in.

Fast forward two years and here we we have another upstart black politician gunning for the establishment candidate in New York and he’s not as well received.

Funny how that is. But Harold Ford isn’t daunted and is now upping the ante.

In his toughest comments to date, Harold Ford cast Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand Monday as a “weak” puppet of the state’s political establishment who has failed to connect with voters after a year in office.

“There is no doubt that Sen. Gillibrand is weak in many places across the city and the state,” Ford told the Daily News in an interview. “At best, there is interest in hearing an alternative.”

Have at it, Democrats! But didn’t you liberals say that it was we GOPers who were having the internal battle? Oh, we were – once upon a time, you were correct about that…but during the NY-23 fight, we all realized that we’re on the same conservative/libertarian/independent team against the liberals. We lost that particular race, but we cleared a lot of issues up.

Now we’re united – and the liberals are falling apart.
