Rob Astorino Seeks To Tar Gov. Cuomo With NYS Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver | New York Daily News

   Anyone running in a state race against a Democrat is welcome to bring up all of Sheldon Silver's scandals, sex and otherwise, but whether that tar sticks is yet to be seen.
     Touted GOP gubernatorial candidate Rob Astorino flirts with a run to get publicity but insiders say he will not step in front of the bus and run for Governor. He is also chiding Governor Cuomo with what he says is a failed effort to clean up Albany.

     Republicans privately claim you could use the same tactic locally against a Democratic lawmaker like Addie Russell.  Well I think you could and a good Democrat has little choice but to stand behind their leadership and hope the questioner moves on.
      Does it cost that many votes ?  I don't think so as most of the few people who still vote are locked in by party loyalty or special interest considerations.
      Nobody votes against a Governor because an Assemblyman from Buffalo plays grab ass in the office.
