Sigh:
Industrialist Jack Davis will make a third run for Congress, he said today.
Davis said a poll he conducted among residents of the 26th District swayed his decision. He polled residents on their thoughts about jobs, the economy, trade, the war in Iraq and Davis’ name recognition.
The self-made businessman from Clarence, in Erie County, said he will spend $3 million of his own money on the race, up from the $2 million he spent in 2006.
Robert over at The Albany Project gives a good summary on why Davis’ candidacy is a non-starter for Democrats everywhere. Might I add one more strike against Davis’ political acumen: his blatant disrespect for veterans and teachers.
Luckily, Democrats have a candidate that they can be proud of in Jon Powers.
UPDATE (David): Did anyone else know that this nutfuck managed to get the Supreme Court to hear his claim that the so-called millionaires’ amendment is unconstitutional? Oral arguments are in a month.
He spent 2 million dollars in 2004 race against Welsh.
He’s trying to overturn the “millionares amendment” that raises the donation cap X2 if a candidate donates X amount of money to their campaign.
