Taro T Posted December 7, 2005 Report Posted December 7, 2005 I heard on the radio this morning that the NYS Republican Chairmen are asking Golisano to run for US Senate instead of running for Governor. I think he'd probably have a better chance of winning that than beating Spitzer in the Gov. race, as Hillary was pretty strong in Rochester and Buffalo and Golisano would definitely cut into her support there. He couldn't touch her NYC base, but he may be able to get enough of upstate to pull off the upset. No word yet on which he will run for this next election cycle. Interesting.
Saber61 Posted December 7, 2005 Report Posted December 7, 2005 now if he does get the elected where does that leave sabres leadership... does larry quinn take over... or would golisano still have time... or god forbid would they be sold to a local owner or other?
Jim Bob Posted December 7, 2005 Report Posted December 7, 2005 Golisano wouldn't have to sell the team. He might have to put all his holdings into a blind trust. But really, Larry Quinn is already running the Sabres.

Stoner Posted December 7, 2005 Report Posted December 7, 2005 Hasn't Golisano already tried to buy his way into office a couple of times and garnered only between 5 and 15 percent of the vote? Haven't the voters already rejected this guy? How is he going to beat a political pro like Hillary? What does Golisano stand for, anyway? Conservatives disavow him. I was very excited to hear that a billionaire wannabe governor bought the Sabres. I figured his ego would force him to turn the Sabres into perennial Cup contenders -- if he could turn around this lowly franchise, imagine what the voters would think he could do with New York State. But at least early in his tenure as owner, it just seems like the Sabres are in a "be lucky you have a team" mode. It has even been reported that Golisano has said he would not continue to bankroll a team that lost money. Well, why not turn it into a winner, the most logical step if you want to make money? And, yes, I am aware the Sabres have won a bunch of games in the last couple of weeks. :)

Maybe he can get as high as 4% of the vote this time. :lol: Hillary could be caught in a porn video with four guys and horse while yelling racial slurs and still beat Golisano by 50 points. Tommy G should be spend his time learning hockey. If he wants to make a difference? Give this City a Championship it needs and deserves. <_<

Running on a major party ticket instead of the Independence party or whatever party he ran on will help his vote total. I don't think it will help enough to beat Hill, but I expect it will actually be a race (unlike the Pirro (sp) Hill race that is currently shaping up). As to your second point, you basically should be banned from this forum for making ANYONE get that mental picture. Shudder. Bad DeLuca, bad, bad, bad DeLuca.

Bad DeLuca, bad, bad, bad DeLuca. It's not like he was being realistic. If he were the four guys would be card carrying NOW members, not guys. We're fierce! We're feminine! and we're in your face! (not really sure this is on topic, but it is fun...)

Thanks Knight rider, now the image I am getting has Madeline Albright and Janet Reno (played by Will Farrell) in it. AAAHHHHHHH, the horror, the horror!!!
