Screw Chuck Schumer

I said it in February: if Chuck Schumer didn't have an idiotic vendetta against Eliot Spitzer, if he didn't talk Tom Suozzi into a pointless run at Governor, maybe someone could have convinced Suozzi to run against the odious Peter King. And King is vulnerable. How vulnerable? The latest poll (PDF) has him up just two points over far-less-well-known County Legislator Dave Mejias. I wish Mejias all the best--he's obviously running a solid campaign to be so close. But Suozzi could have wiped the floor with King, no doubt.

Poll via TPMCafe's Election Central.

UPDATE: I just noticed Mejias's slogan on the front page of his site:

"Peter King said he thanks God every night that George Bush is our President. I say Peter King needs to wake up."

I approve.
