From the TU:

Former Albany city Republican chairman Joseph P. Sullivan has announced he will run for retiring Congressman Michael McNulty's seat in the 21st district this year.

Sullivan, who switched back to his Democratic roots two years ago amid infighting among other Albany Republicans, says he will run as a conservative Democrat. [...]

In a press release announcing his run, Sullivan said his campaign priorities include securing the nation's borders; combating terrorism overseas and at home; returning to elementary neighborhood schools in urban areas; and promoting restoration of railroads, the Erie Canal and Hudson River transportation infrastructure.

However, national security should be the priority, he said.

who will have difficulty getting the requisite petition signatures.

Hopefully, there will be no more debates until a month or so from now, when we will now who the real candidates are.
 
The Democrats are the party of the people.

Captain Ahab is running?  Brian Scavo's handler?  

I was poll watching the day of the election and Joe "Old Man & Sea" Sullivan kept coming in every few hours to check in.  I know he was watching for Scavo because there were other district's voting machines in the room, but he didnt ask them how they were doing. The best part was that was dressed in a wooly hat and vest, looking like he just stepped off the Pequod.
