Powers picks up Erie County endorsement

Somewhere last night you could hear Jack Davis cry: “Oh no he didn’t.”

After 26th NYS Congressional district candidate Jon Powers (D) grabbed the endorsement of the Monroe County Democratic Committee the only county which eluded Powers was Erie.

You may remember a post on the WBP from July of last year with a statement from then unconfirmed candidate Jack Davis that Erie County Dem chair Len Lenihan had promised his endorsement to Davis in the event he chose to run.

Flash forward to April of ‘08, last night to be exact, and things have changed for Len Lenihan.  Lenihan and the Eric County Dems endorsed Jon Powers last night as their candidate for the 26th.

The other endorsements which Powers has accumulated, combined with the war Davis is waging against the Millionaire’s Amendment in McCain-Feingold which will only draw negative press on the left, essentially decided Lenihan’s endorsement for him.

Lenihan must have been reeling trying to choose between a guy who is actually more of a Republican or a guy who used to be a registered Republican.
