Good Job Westchester! Now Let's Reload and Aim Big Again.

Political pundits are pointing to the myriad examples of voters rejecting ever-expanding government and the higher taxes that pay for it - obviously Christie in NJ but also in places like Colorado Springs. One important example they are missing is Rob Astorino's win in Westchester County, NY for County Executive. Westchester has the highest property taxes in the country. Political machine boss Andy Spano has increased government spending by $1 billion to $1.8 billion, more spending than 87 countries. Rob had a simple "Stop the Madness" message, and he won. Not just won, he smoked one of the most locally recognizable political names in the country. That Spano is so well known gives me hope that perhaps incumbancy has become an albatross. Sausage Factory Worker Nita Lowey, a Pelosi lap-dog if ever there was one, ought to take notice. You're next Nita!
