•  Thanks for a little truth

  We need the Leaders of the Party to get on the airwaves and sing the same tune.

•  price of oil

  The price of oil didn't double because of Bush's failed leadership. The price of oil will keep going up no matter what our leaders do. Demand is going up and supply is going down. We need new leadership to provide us with better infrastructure, better gas mileage, and better public transportation so that our society can adapt to higher gas prices.

•  Spot on about the economy

  So great to see you telling it like it is, Eric. I wish you all the best and fervently hope you will be representing the 29th NY next year. However, much as I'd love to have a 2/3 majority in the House, let's hope the notion of "veto-proof" is moot, because not only will you be elected on November 4, so will the Democratic candidate for president.

•  good luck to you, eric....

  and thank you for reminding everyone that a new president is not going to be able to do a lot of good unless we also have a larger majority in congress.

•  The economy is the driving force

  in the primaries.  And that is in the favor of Democrats.

•  Of course, with the loss of jobs

  states like New York are losing population, and thus congressional districts, which lessens the impact of these "rust belt" states on electoral politics .... policy matters ....

•  Wow, Eric! Definitely speaking Truth to Power!

  We DO need to work together for a Democratic Majority - NEVER assume anything's "in the bag," till way after the last vote comes in and the last vote is VERIFIED.

  We're SO looking forward to you representing us in Congress, Eric - you're one of the Good Guys!

•  Massa is from my hometown

  I grew up in Corning and will be urging everyone I know back there to vote Massa! Shotgun Kuhl has to go!

    Enough said.

•  Good to hear straight talk on the primaries.

  Some of us are just hanging back waiting for it to be over so we can get around to the real business - putting Bush out of office and getting a veto proof Congress.
