If not now…… (Update)

A few months back while talking to a friend who told me they had gone to a meeting wherein some political candidates were endorsed. She wondered to me why endorsements were happening so early for 2010:
-I think it is kind of late endorsing a candidate at this time.
-Late? No you didn’t say, “Late!” Why would you say late, BB? I’m curious.
- You have to make plans, Marsha. It’s almost 2010 now, don’t you know. In a way, running for a political position is like the plans you make for your wedding a year in advance or something.
-Let’s not get personal, here.
-Not getting personal. It's like making a plan for a cruise. Don’t you have to book a cruse many months in advance?
-How’n hell would I know? I never took no damn cruise, neither.
- Look, Marsha. Contracts have to be signed.
- What con…
-Let me finish, now. Before a politician, before a serious politician takes the bullhorn, he has to set up headquarters somewhere, right? He has to have a place to pass out his literature, answer questions on the phone or just have a hang-out place for his supporters and himself. That takes a contract.
-I didn’t think of that.
-And money.
-Yes of course. Didn’t think of that either.
-He has to have a paid staff or at least one paid full time staff member. We are still talking about a contract and money.
-A contract and money. Hep, hep hurray for contracts and money!
-He needs money to get back and forth to campaign rallies. He has to pay for the hall or wherever place the rally takes place, right? That takes contracts and money.
-Contracts and money. But of course.
-At some fund raisers, he is going to have food and you have to…
-you have to have contracts and money.
-Exactly, and now you bought this issues up, I don’t know why we are not hearing about more races that are scheduled for next year. Now that I think about it, it is kind’a weird. Why aren’t we hearing from more candidates?
-Contracts and money?
-What’s that?
-Never mind, BB. I’ve got a head ache now. Good-night.
-No! I mean, wait a minute! I just thought. There are TV ads someone has to write and produce, signs to be made, developing a campaign slogan, paying a DJ, and that is only the obligation for one city and if….. Marsha? Marsha?
-(Zzzzzzzz)
As always,
BB
P.S. The more I think about this issue the more curious. I know a lot of money is presently being spent on PR for many existing political figures, but still…..! My Hiney Shiney is telling me someone is planning some sort of political coup in 2010. I am mindful Pres. Obama had people working on caucuses before or very soon after he officially kicked off his primaries. ACORN’s political position has been secured by the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that no private entity can challenge a congressional ruling so I wonder what the Republicans are up to for 2010. What are Democrats up to? Interesting.

(Update: Wave of the future? Makes you wonder if there is a legal definition of "Frivolous lawsuit?" Even those lawsuits cost money.)

According to late Thursday night report in the Hudson Register-Star, the Tedisco legal team filed suit in Dutchess County court demanding to be declared the winner in the special election race with Scott Murphy.
