John McDonald has nearly 30k in his campaign war chest, and could finance another 30k if he so chose. A young challenger like myself, could never come up with that kind of money in a small town such as Cohoes. <br /><br />I never expected a position in the McDonald Administration. I just wanted him to understand that there were plenty of people in Cohoes who wanted to see some changes. <br /><br />Sadly, in a one party town like Cohoes, you really need to make your move from the inside. A sad state on our political process, but a true one.Randy Koniowkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17850070218600650214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820814198873126054.post-19545585426057256762011-06-21T10:06:27.519-04:002011-06-21T10:06:27.519-04:00I would have to guessthat what Koniowka is really ...I would have to guessthat what Koniowka is really angling for is a promise of a position within the administration. Anyone truly on the left these days should know better than to trust the "promises" of a member of the Democrat party. <br /><br />It is in the best interest of both parties to maintain the status quo, as that is what put them in power in the first place. Neither side is really interested in keeping any "promises" they make to third-parties or independents as that might cause them to lose faith with their more "mainstream" constituents. ie, Democrats don't dare move much further left and Republicans don't dare move much further right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820814198873126054.post-29348169167933758272011-06-20T15:01:45.046-04:002011-06-20T15:01:45.046-04:00Well, the WFP could take advantage of the "sp...Well, the WFP could take advantage of the "spoiler" tactic like the VPP (Vermont Progressive Party) up north, but this requires the WFP to have an organized muscle that would be able to act independent of the Democratic party at all times, rather than just when they don't like them.TiradeFactionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06760660346802297769noreply@blogger.com
