FL: Republican Pam Bondi Leads AG Race

From cfnews13.com:

With less than two weeks until the general election, the candidates for Florida attorney general are making their differences known.

A News 13 Florida Decides/St. Petersburg Times exclusive statewide poll shows 44 percent of voters would vote for Republican candidate Pam Bondi, while 36 percent would vote for Democratic candidate Dan Gelber.

But even if you are one of the 18 percent who are undecided, it’s easy to pinpoint the candidates’ difference.

“Usually you look at a down ballot race like attorney general, you’re relying on kind of who looks better, who do you know more,” said PolitiFact Reporter Aaron Sharockman. “In this case, the voters are going to have the clear opportunity on health care, on immigration, on essentially how they’re going to run the attorney general’s office to pick who they like better — Pam Bondi or Dan Gelber — because they are not going to run the office the same.”

NY: AG Candidates Debate

From silive.com:

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Eight days before next Tuesday’s general election, attorney general candidate Daniel Donovan and Eric Schneiderman took off the gloves this morning in a lively debate carried on WAMC Northeast Public Radio.

Experience was a central theme to the feisty exchange, as Donovan, the borough’s Republican district attorney, said Schneiderman’s time and ties as a state senator in Albany made him part of the problem in the dysfunctional Capital, while Scheiderman, a Democrat, said he was the only man qualified to continue Andrew Cuomo’s work in the attorney general’s office.

The men also sparred about Donovan’s time as prosecutor and Schneiderman’s work as a corporate attorney.

CA: Democrat AG Candidate Scrambles after RSLC Launches Ad

From the LA Times:

Democratic attorney general nominee Kamala Harris on Sunday accused national Republican leaders of trying to hijack her race against GOP rival Steve Cooley with a $1.1-million independent advertising campaign criticizing her 2004 decision not to seek the death penalty against a police officer’s killer.

Harris also announced that she plans to take legal action against the “shadow group” that paid for the television ad and that she will disclose more details Monday morning.

While visiting Southern California churches and loyal Democrats to rally support for her campaign, she urged both the church and party faithful to help her combat the ad.

The ad was paid for by the Virginia-based Republican State Leadership Committee, which is headed by Ed Gillespie, chairman of the Republican National Committee under President George W. Bush. Karl Rove, the chief political strategist in the George W. Bush White House, also is affiliated with the organization.

Poll: Races are Close in Arkansas

From KATV.com:

The other two races polled are toss-ups… in the race for lieutenant governor, democrat Shane Broadway leads republican Mark Darr 39-to-37%. With a whopping 24% still undecided.

“We also did favorable and unfavorable and name recognition. I think it’s interesting 47% did not know who Shane Broadway was at this point, but 61% have no idea who Mark Darr is,” said Byrd.

In the Secretary of State race, republican Mark Martin edges democrat Pat O’Brien 42-39%, with 19% still undecided.

Mass. Republican AG Candidate Gets Police Union nod

From telegram.com:

Republican candidate for attorney general James P. McKenna stopped by the Worcester Police Department yesterday to pick up the endorsements of the department’s two officers unions, and to criticize incumbent Attorney General Martha Coakley for what he characterized as lax prosecution of public corruption and illegal immigration.

Police Officers Local 911 and Worcester Police Officials Local 504 held a brief press conference in front of the station, with officers pointing out that the department worked with Mr. McKenna when he served as an assistant district attorney for former Worcester District Attorney John J. Conte.

“He has successfully prosecuted public corruption and organized crime cases,” Officer Thomas Daly said. “He’s the most qualified for the job of attorney general. We know his work ethic and integrity.

NY: Democrat AG Candidate and his “Corrupt Crew”

From the New York Post:

The AEG deal unraveled after the Lottery Division deemed the firm “unlicensable.” Ultimately, the agency picked Genting New York to run the video casino.

Gov. Paterson and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver also had a hand in the debacle, of course. But the bulk of the chicanery was in the Senate, according to Fisch.

So Senate Democrats, who run the joint, need to pay a price for that next month.

That goes for Schneiderman, too.

By contrast, his opponent, Staten Island DA Dan Donovan, is unencumbered by ties to Albany’s business-as-usual bunch.

The choice for New York’s chief law-enforcement officer couldn’t be more vital — or clear.

October Surprise in New York

From the New York Post:

The inspector general’s scathing report on the Aqueduct corruption scandal could hand control of the Senate back to the Republicans and take down Democratic Sen. Eric Schneiderman’s front-running campaign for attorney general, political insiders said yesterday.

Republicans could barely contain their glee as Inspector General Joseph Fisch, a lifelong Democrat appointed by Gov. Paterson, issued a shocking report on the unethical and possibly criminal conduct of some of the state’s most important Democratic officials — including the two top leaders of the Senate.

“This is a game changer for the entire election cycle,” crowed John McArdle, communications director for Senate Republican Minority Leader Dean Skelos.

“There is no question that this will be used in all our campaigns around the state. The commercials, in fact, are being prepared as we speak.”

NY: Senate Democrat Leader’s Deal “Stinks to High Heaven”

From NYDailyNews:

The state Senate’s Democratic majority is at a fateful crossroads. It can bless gross corruption or dump Brooklyn’s John Sampson as conference chief.

There’s no two ways about it after a scathing inspector general’s report laid bare the horrid inside story of bid-rigging and favoritism in the award of a since-canceled contract to operate a casino at Aqueduct Racetrack.

None of the Democrats has so much as whispered this thought – including senator and would-be attorney general Eric Schneiderman. They should be shouting it.

SD: Secretary of State Candidates Differ on Campaign Finance Reports

From ArgusLeader.com:

The candidates for South Dakota secretary of state both want more transparency when it comes to campaign finance reports, but they differ on whether there needs to be more openness in how the money from a particular group of Republican donors is spent.

Democratic state Sen. Ben Nesselhuf said that if he’s elected secretary of state, he will crack down on what he calls “political slush funds” and push to disclose how the Governor’s Club spends its money. The Governor’s Club is a Republican Party marketing effort that has been used to pay some nonbusiness expenses for GOP governors.

“The law is pretty clear, that every dollar into the political world is reported, and every dollar out needs to be reported,” Nesselhuf said.
