Domenic RecchiaHarrison vs the MachineBelow is a link to an article in City Hall News positioning Steve Harrison as the Candidate of the people and Recchia as the machine candidate in a potential primary for the right to unseat Vito Fossella, the only Republican representing NYC in the house. http://www.cityhallnews.com/news/128/ARTICLE/1316/2007-11-12.html For those of you not familiar with the 13th Congressional District (Staten Island, Bay Ridge) race, Harrison received a higher percentage of the vote than any other Democrat since the district was gerrymandered to be Republican, including Staten Island elected officials, despite being out raised 13-1 (although the 130k raised from April 06 until election day was the third most by any Democratic candidate for this seat).
