NY WFP (Re: [lbo-talk] All the complaints to the FCC come from one group!)

[Robert D. Day]

Unfamiliar with the details of NY politics, I'm curious why the NY GOP 
would even WANT a WFP endorsement and whether or not -- and if so, why 
-- those who regularly vote WFP would consider voting Republican?

wage, the WFP agreed to endorse a number of Republicans in close races.
This isn't the kind of independent politics that most leftists advocate
electorally, but it definitely seems to have been effective.
