Slant Point - NY GOP: Patrick Manning

By Scott S on New York State

Patrick Manning is being touted as a potential candidate against Hillary. Let's just say he's starting at zero. But the election is in 2006. Another to watch...

Manning shares Hudson Valley’s economic successes with upstate county

Hudson Valley Assemblyman Patrick Manning of Dutchess County last night addressed the Orleans County Economic Development Corporation.

Manning, chairman of the Assembly Minority Republicans’ Steering Committee, said he was asked to talk to the group, but not with that hat on. Instead, he said the group wanted to hear from him about the “ Hudson Valley’s success story” and how New York State can become more competitive in the global society.

Manning has been mentioned as a possible GOP candidate to run against US Senator Hillary Clinton and the upstate speech could be used to test the waters, especially in light of speculation that he has already set up an exploratory committee, which he denies.

Manning was noncommittal about the possibility of a US Senate run. “I’d certainly never say ‘never’,” he said. “I would certainly consider any opportunity that was presented to me.”

Among other Republicans whose names have been discussed about a possible Senate run are former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Westchester County District Attorney Jeanine Pirro, who may also consider a run for state attorney general.

I am guessing that we are coming to the end of how much the Euros will swallow from the Pals. Iraq, Lebanon, etc, have put some pressure on them. I don't think the Euros will go back to "business as usual" as they did with Arafat.


You kidding me? There is no end to how much the Euros will swallow from the Pals. All they ask is for the diplomatic pretence to continue. This suicide bombing didn't break the "cease-fire". Listen to the BBC, and you will hear that this explosion just "happened". Only the Israelis can commit deliberate violence or break the cease-fire, according to the Euros. Pal violence just happens of itself.

The only way it will possibly be different this time is due to US pressure. Which I don't see coming, but wdik?

Do you view this as a sea change?

I view the Europeans new stance as one where they are willing to get involved but barely. France has announced a measly contribution of $500,000 to NATO to assist Iraq. That is barely getting a toe wet.
