Speaking of GOP Senate Candidates...

...what is to become of the potential candidacy of Rep. Peter King (CD 3)? A few weeks ago, King publicly announced that he was going to run for Hillary Clinton's Senate seat in 2010. He reportedly didn't care who Gov. David Paterson was going to appoint to be her replacement. He was going to take them on regardless. Now, not so much. It looks like money may be the reason for his trepidation. A lot of people can make that excuse nowadays for a lot of things.

I for one hope that King does run next year. We could use his experience and his integrity in the upper chamber.
