NY-20: Looks like Treadwell and Wager Are In?

While the Republicans can?t seem to find anybody to run for Congress in many parts of the country due to the current sad and pathetic state of their party, (unfortunately) the wingnuts just can?t seem to leave us alone here in the 20th?

According to The Post-Star, both Bloomberg hack Richard Wager and ex-state Republican chair Alexander ?Sandy? Treadwell are in the process of setting up exploratory committees to run for Congress in the 20th Congressional District against Kirsten Gillibrand in 2008.

Here?s what one blogger recently had to say about a potential Treadwell challenge of Gillibrand?

?Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand (D) has nothing to worry about here (if she does) the job work for her constituents. If she takes care of her people they will take care of her. If she works for her district (she?ll) let the likes of Sandy Treadwell twist in the down draft of the RNC?s corrupt The F.O.G. Elite. If all the RNC can muster is a political hack from (the) party central times are tough and the going is rough.?

Yes, times must certainly be tough if the GOP wants somebody who was one of the largest contributors to George W. Bush?s 2005 inauguration to run here next year. Overall, Gillibrand is looking safer and safer by the day, especially in the wake of a potential meltdown for the GOP in 2008?
