Where do vulture's hang out when they are not picking the carcass ?.....They blend in...But with an open Assembly seat suddenly available there are lots of birds swooping in for dinner.
One to watch is West Carthage Mayor Scott Burto.
Mayor Burto was an ardent DeDe supporter and didn't like the events of last year. He also was rebuffed for consideration to run for the 122nd when it looked like Ms. Scozzafava would be the next Member of Congress. He is not a conformist in the GOP like other family members.
In Judes blog, Mayor Burto expresses interest in the race, but lets take it a step further.....I am not so sure he sees the GOP as the path to take and that might explain reports of a a mid-day meeting in Watertown with high level local Democrats.
Conventional wisdom is that this is a noncompetitive district for Democrats. In this year of upheaval I don't rule out anything.

It would be great to see him switch and run against Ken. Don't fall in line like the rest of them including Kent. Do what you think is right for the residents of the 122nd. Not for some party!! I know you have always done it for West Carthage and the Carthage area.
GOOD LUCK Scott!!
I've heard that Burto's chances of running as a Dem are DOA and the focus is on getting one of the Dem's A listers to run.
Absolutely anybody, anybody but the BlankenBumble. Please!
8:22 On the other hand the Dem's have no A listers interested and are looking for one of Dede's supporters.
Burto is a non-starter! Can he even afford it if he wanted to run?
I do not see the Democrats passing over one of their loyal soldiers for him. That would be a slap in the face to the party faithful.
Agreed, Burto, nice guy, won't work as a Dem for a lot of reasons. It's clear that McGrath is the front runner, but it's unclear whether he would run.
Trail Coordinator mess.
Can't support him.
Sorry.
You want it clean, Jeff. That's the best I can do.
J Edgar Hoover
Let'em go I say.
Flirting with the enemy worked like a charm for Dede.
Addios. See ya'
Wanna'be
Hey the Dems put in Al Drake, why not the Trail Coordinator, He's a turncoat.
Scott, do what is right, and run for the assembly, the voters need a choice; because a non-vote will equate to a vote for BBush,and I just can't do that.
