Former Republican machine stronghold now governed by a Democrat with the Deamocratic majority in the county legislature.
County Executive Suozzi ran against Spitzer in the 2006 primary. He may run again. I wonder why he isn't generating more fundraising power for the Nassau County Democrats.
Newsday just had a brief articile about it.
During the past six months, GOP party chairman Joseph Mondello's organization collected $1.2 million beyond the $1.2 million it had in the bank; the party's expenses were $885,000.
This is impressive compared to what the Democrats have raised.
Jay Jacobs, Nassau Democratic leader, brought in $567,000, but had only $7,463 in the bank to start the year.

I would like to know what the Democratic are waiting for. All the major elections are next year. The Democrats have a very tenuous hold on the legislature. Only one seat flips and its back to the bad old days of Republican misrule.
Being in charge I am sure it is possible that the Democrats can raise large amounts in a relatively short amount of time and the Republican brand here is still close to dirt. They even had to run desperate immigrant fear based campaigns in 06.
In Suffolk County things are different with Democrats doing well in fundrasing.
