Tuesday Sept. 12 Is Primary Day in New York

The Daily Detail urges readers to vote on Tuesday as Democrats, Republicans & the Working Families Party prepare for the November elections.

In the gubernatorial race, Democrats will choose between New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer and Nassau County Executive Thomas Suozzi. Senator Hillary rodham Clinton faces challenger Jonathan B. Tasini. Four candidates are vying for Mr. Spitzer’s job; Sean Patrick Maloney, Andrew Cuomo, Mark Green, and Charles King (Mr. King has dropped out but his name will still appear on the ballot).

Republicans voting for a gubernatorial candidate will choose between K.T. McFarland and John Spencer.

The Working Families Party is hoping for a county clerk nomination with either Vivian Viloria-Fisher or Charles Pohanka III, while Daniel Calabro and Michael Abatangelo are running for Committee membership.

Regular polling places will be open between the hours of 6 a.m. & 9 p.m.

The Daily Detail officially endorses Eliot Spitzer (we can’t wait to watch him shake up State Government with his trademark zeal), Senator Clinton (we liked watching her dress down Rummy and look forward to more of this new, less moderate style), and Sean Patrick Maloney (he’s a young fresh face full of enthusiasm and committment to the job and he carries none of the heavy baggage of Mr. Cuomo, or the unsavory campaigning of Mr. Green).

So Go Vote!!!
