Subject: RE: Pondering the election results

Yesterday's New York State primaries yielded some interesting results, not the least of which is that the major Republican nominations are now held by pro-lifers:

1.  Governor's Race

Carl Paladino, the pro-life "Tea Party" candidate, crushed the establishment GOP candidate, Rick Lazio.  Paladino will oppose pro-abortion and pro-same-sex "marriage" Andrew Cuomo in the general election.

Oddly, Mr. Lazio won the Conservative Party's primary and will appear on the ballot in November.  This could be a significant problem for the Conservative Party, which has to get 50,000 votes in the gubernatorial race in order to stay on the ballot.

2.  Attorney General's Race

Eric Schneiderman won the Democratic nomination for AG.  This is very bad.  He is a pro-abortion, pro-same-sex "marriage" zealot who likes to boast that he used to work as an abortion clinic escort.  He will oppose Dan Donovan, the Staten Island DA, who is pro-life.

3.  US Senate Races

In the race for the seat held by pro-abortion Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, the Republican nomination was won by Joe DioGuardi, an old pro-lifer who served in Congress many years ago. 

In the race for pro-abortion Sen. Charles Schumer's seat, the Republican nomination was won by Jay Townsend, a pro-lifer.  

Sincerely in Christ,

Joe DioGuardi has the experience and the right message to New Yorkers that we have a problem and it's education, jobs and fiscal reform & responsibility. Stop the puppet show and send Gillibrand's bags packing!

Did you read the latest article by Joe in Real Clear Politics?

"I am ready to go to Washington and tell them what they need to hear - not what they want to hear. That's what the people want, that's what the people need, and that's what the people will get, if they put me in the U.S. Senate."

Jeremy I agree with you 1,000%. The only political campaign my wife and I ever worked on was Dioguardi's run to try and get back in the Congress around 1992. He's a great guy. Pro-lifer's need to do everything they can to get him elected.
