good new$ from NY, Schumer not to run

Mon Nov 15, 2004 at 03:04:57 PM PDT

CNN reported that NY Senator
Chuck Schumer has agreed to
become head of the Democratic
Senatorial Campaign Committee.

The Dems reportedly gave him
a post on the Finance Committee
as a sweetener. hmmn. I thought
he was already on that committee,
see what I don't know. (also not sure
I know how to spell his name.)

Like his predecessor, NJ Sen. Corzine,
Schumer knows how to raise money
from Wall Street and the big New York
banks, insurance companies, and
other moneybags. We can use it in
2006.

Even better, in taking this job Schumer
passes up the temptation to run for
Governor.
