New boss, same as the old boss.

Now that Eliot Spitzer is Governor, and the rather oily Andrew Cuomo is, amazingly, Attorney General, it's a depressing time for New York republicans, who more and more are essentially stuck "behind enemy lines" here.

But like the commandos in WWII, there's still much we can accomplish. Stay tuned.
