NYDems Statement
Today the New York State Democratic Party issued the following statement:

"The New York State Democratic Party looks forward to Working with Governor Paterson to move forward with an agenda for change."
"Over twenty three years in public life David has distinguished himself as a bridge builder, a conciliator and a voice for progressive values. He will be a Governor for all New Yorkers and a great leader of the Democratic Party."

"In the coming weeks and months we plan to work closely with him and Democrats across New York to continue to make progress on the issues that matter for working families."

"Our thoughts are with the Spitzer family during this difficult time."

We need an update.
Mike Oot is all over the 23rd Congressional District meeting people from all walks of life who are tired of Bush/McHugh and the Republican imposed recession. Where is the coverage?
Mike is a professional advocate and is not going to be a part of any 'name calling' partison bickering even though that can grab some headlines. Oot stays on message, his and ours, even as there is talk of a 'former' Republican pressing to push Oot out of the race by announcing a willingness to place investment banking $ on the line and buy the seat. Hang on a minute. This is our district, and it is not for sale. Not for sale to foreign steel, and not for sale to someone residing out of the district.
We live here, work here, raise our families here! That is the type of representative we want.
Mike Oot will be OUR voice in Washington. I wish there was more information being posted as to the Oot coverage of the region. I am not on his Committee but i know those who are and they are racking up the mileage across the region. He even was in a parade, the only place you will ever see McHugh.
Is there some 'reporting' going on out there or should i just go to the Oot campaign for information?
This is an important time, is there any more individual, informed, commentary?

A breath of fresh air as we all welcome David Patterson as the 55th Governor of this great State.
Now the work begins.
Darrell Aubertine will work hard with the Governor to help rebuild the "North Country". That is for sure.
They could use some help from the Federal side of the equation as well. That help could very well be Mike Oot. He is all over the 23rd Congressional District with his eye on impressing the informed voters of the region who have become disillusioned (and broke!) with the failed policies of Bush/McHugh. Check him out. www.mikeootforcongress.org. Oot is an intelligent, thoughtful voice who has represented workers throughout the whole district. He cares about what is happening in the Upstate. Mike, much like Darrel, will have Democrat as well as Republican support in November. The best of the Democrat Party is now rising to the top.
Patterson, Auberine and Oot will move the entire Upstate in the right direction! It is work, and they are ready, willing, and able to roll up their sleeves to get the job done.
Finally, people working for us!

I agree! I am saddened and disappointed and feel sorry for both he and his family. Gov. Spitzer was on the right track on so many fronts, including many positive changes in education. Let's keep focused and continue his much needed intiatives.
