Bronx Sen. Jeffrey Klein-- New York's top GOP enablerBlue America's normal job is to vet candidates in House races-- and occasionally in Senate races-- and endorse the progressive cream of the crop. We'll occasionally stray from that mission when we find an especially important state legislative race.
On Sunday, Steve Kornacki took a little look at the expanding rift between New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and much of the Democratic base. It's worth looking at the video above. Salon's Joan Walsh did a particularly excellent job straightening out Beltway political entrepreneur Ann Lewis, who actually defended Cuomo by quoting Ronald Reagan. I'm not going to get into speculating about what the Working Families Party may or may not do, beyond saying that with the union leadership telling them they;re on their own, they probably won't do much.
Its all a matter of relativity-- and how you define "progressive"When I was growing up in New York, a sometimes viable alternative to the corrupt Democratic Party Machine was the Liberal Party, which was supposed to be more liberal than the Democrats and less socialist and "Commie" than the American Labor Party-- the original home for leftists who wanted to support FDR and the New Deal without stooping to voting for the Democrats.
