New York Political Hit List for 2007
Tonight, I'm going on New York 1 News' reporters roundtable for, among other things, a look back at the major news stories of 2007.
I discussed this with a few readers at a bar not long ago, and there was some debate as to which was a bigger story: the ongoing problem of Alan Hevesi's financial indiscretion or Eliot Spitzer's eventful first year in Albany.
But there are other possibilities: Michael Bloomberg leaving the Republican Party, inciting speculation about a presidential campaign; Tom Suozzi's affection; Spitzer's quest for humility; Andrew Cuomo's investigations; Al Sharpton's continued relevance; a New York Post reporter quitting her job to cover the war in Iraq.
Personally, I'm still awed by Mathieu Eugene winning three elections in a single year.
So, what were the biggest, most memorable, must-remember stories of 2007?
Your nominees?
Iraq finally getting better (and another year without a significant terrorist attack in the U.S.) and the economy, particularly the housing and financial markets, getting worse. This sets the stage for a much different 2008 than might have been expected.
Next, I might might say a shift on global warming, with the naysayers falling away and believers ascendant.
Locally, I would say the City Council debate over a Sonny Carson street renaming, and the fallout with Chris Quinn firing Charles Barron's aide. Or Jimmy Oddo on Youtube.
1. Although I'm running as an Edwards Delegate, from a NY perspective, Hillary and Rudy's presidential bids.
2. Mayor Mike leaving the GOP and speculation about the White House.
3. Late Staten Island Dem Chair John Lavelle's Death.
4. Council, Assembly and State Senate Special elections in LI, SI and Brooklyn.
08's biggest after presidential related stories, NY 13TH CD Harrison vs Fossella II
The Donovan-Molinaro throwdown on Staten Island should be there. The last BP to have a meltdown like this was Donald Manes.
Staten Island as a hotbed of political activity in 2007:
- The untimely death of SI Democratic chairman John Lavelle.
- New Democratic Party Chairman John Gulino's ties to mobster/convicted felon Julius Nasso.
- Republican turned Democrat Rose Margarella being honored by Chair Gulino as a journal co-chair of the SI Democratic Party fall event.
- State Senator Diane Savino's push for a Stapleton building as temporary office space for judges, as a direct quid pro quo to a donor who owns the building.
H.Dale Hemmerdinger being named Chair of the MTA in spite of the fact his son Damon is development manager for Atlas Mall and is attempting to get MTA buses rerouted to the Atlas Mall in Glendale. Just a LITTLE bit of a conflict of interest H. Dale?
Roy: Aren't you jumping the gun on Harrison v. Recchia II?
Bet you a Sri Lankan lunch that that race never occurs!
Oy!
What a goof!
I meant Harrison v. Fossella II.
Bet you think it's a Freudian slip.
Since it involves Harrison, it's a Fraudian slip!
I think the story of the year was my boy Azi catapulting to journalistic fame in 2007. I adore watching him on New York 1, ties akimbo. I predict that in 2008 is star wll rise even further (and hopefully he will stop asking me to do his laundry).

今年最熱門的話題不外乎是政府要在2009跨年晚會後發放各位一份3600元消費券紅包，雖然這個錢不能在聖誕節來用，但可以先看2009行事曆有哪些天放假可以去買，過年時想要買我的億萬麵包來吃的人很有幫助，許多人還在考慮霹靂MIT是否能吃到比較好的年菜，以及明年是否可以跟美女交友，當正妹牆理的正妹看上了心儀的男生時，就會拼了命的追求，也會引來想與平水相逢的男生，一起去玩今年最夯的LUNA，如果你的即時通狀態中不夠吸引人的話，或許你該想個梗，說不定你會變成PTT的最新風潮喔，誰都可以當牛樟芝國寶ㄌㄟ！....
