NEW YORK—A new measure aimed at eliminating the steady flow of illegal guns into New York is being advanced by U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and Rep. Carolyn McCarthy who point out that nearly 90 percent of the guns used in gun crimes in New York City come from out of state, and approximately 90 percent [...]

From 1953 through 1996, New York’s Fourth Congressional District, in suburban Nassau County on Long Island, was a Republican stronghold. However, in 1992 Bill Clinton carried the district in the Presidential race in a Democratic breakthrough. In 1994 Dan Frisa, a conservative Republican, defeated one-term moderate Republican David Levy in a primary challenge, but then held the seat with just...

Ever since the ( rather dubious ) news that Rudy Giuliani is again eyeing a bid for the US Senate instead of a gubernatorial run next year, there has been a sudden surge of interest from would-be challengers to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand. So many names have been floated and/or rejected at this point it's getting sort of hard to keep everyone straight. It seems a good time to review who's in and who's...

Here's an invite to a fundraiser that was held in LA last night at the home of Betty and Stanley Sheinbaum on behalf of Jonathan Tasini, who is so far the lone 2010 primary challenger to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand. From the host list, it's clear to see Tasini continues to enjoy support from the left wing of the Democratic Party - a similar situation to his last race in 2006 when he ran on an anti-war...

My state, Illinois, used to be a Republican-leaning swing state. From 1968 through 1988, the GOP candidate carried Illinois. Granted, there were some real Dem losers on the ticket in some of those races, but a win is a win. But the Republican domination of the suburbs, which for the most part offset the Democratic Machine of Chicago, started to fade away in the late 1980s. The same story can be repeated...

Nassau County and the Death of the Obama Nation I am very encouraged by the election results in Virginia and New Jersey. Massive swings among independent voters seems to suggest that the people are not ready for Obama's radical socialist ideas. To me, however, what happened in Nassau County is even more telling. The incumbent Democrat County Executive is hanging on by a couple of hundred votes. The...
