The best new job in New York:
ByAs of this morning the best job in New York will be the person who gets to be the chairman of the Republican Party in the State.
If Republicans decide to replace Minarik, for the new Chairman it will be like Lou Piniella coaching the Chicago Cubs. There is only one way to go but up and the team has been so bad that their use to loosing, so expectations will be low making it easy to succeed.

I think this entire party needs sweeping change on the leadership level and I hope we finally get it. Minarik has the stench of mediocrity that has permeated the party since Pataki got re-elected the first time. Everyone must go – Minarik, Ortenzio, Pataki and all their ilk. The slate must be wiped clean if the NYGOP has any hopes of reigniting the voters of New York. The palsied political philosophy and ridiculous, almost suicidal political decisions (see Pataki’s punt on Hevesi and Ortenzio’s decision to run his own candidate for US Senate for details) have been rejected by the people of New York and it’s time for the NYGOP to do the same. Our candidates didn’t lose last night because they were inferior. They lost because the people didn’t know who they were and didn’t have a reason to find out. Yes it was a bad year for Republicans anyway, but the state party can’t get off that easy. We could’ve won the Hevesi race if we had a candidate who could actually speak in front of a camera. We lost because Pataki and his machine hiked up their coattails around their waist and let the party slowly die on the vine for the past twelve years. Pataki’s flaccid leadership at every turn will not be missed. Here’s to a better future with leaders who have the courage to lead. Why? Because we really can’t sink much lower than this.
