Same here, particularly because I've had plenty of personal face time with Dave years ago and have ALWAYS liked him immensely. That makes this even harder for me to deal with emotionally because I *really* like Dave. The first governor I remember was Rockefeller. And truth be told, Dave is far more conservative than any Governor this state's had including Rockefeller. I don't know HOW far back we'd have to go to find a NY Governor more conservative than Dave.It's just all very sad indeed ... but that's what happens at the top - you have to respect the chain of command up there and he ended up getting completely isolated and sandbagged up there. Yes, it's his fault that he allowed that and this to have happened but his biggest fault perhaps was not anticipating the sheer degree of venom that awaited him when he took over. This whole Princess Caroline thing is what did him in, and his own party has been gunning for him ever since. Never mind the republicans piling on with their own intrigue. This state is just fucked ... plain and simple. :( |
