It was mentioned here last month that 2008 will be an interesting election year not only for the presidential election but for state elections as well. I mentioned that Jeff Bono (a democrat-turned-republican) was taking on, in the primaries, Assemblyman Mike Cole who represents Royalton. Jabs were bound to be many with Cole's intern issue in Albany last year.
But, fireworks look to go in the other direction as well. Bono was a guest on WLVL's Dialog last week, the talk show hosted by my good friend Scott Leffler. Bono provided some horrible answers and spoke offensively with his liberal use of the word "retarded" which fired-up many people, including Scott who tried to correct him on it to no avail.
You can listen to a podcast of the show by righ-clicking this link and downloading it to your desktop: http://media.libsyn.com/media/wlvl/Dialog_022608_-_Jeff_Bono.mp3
You can also read Scott's thoughts about the incident on his blog at www.Scottleffler.com Scroll down the page until you get to the 26 Feb 2008 entry entitled "He said what??"
This will be an interesting race indeed.
