The campaign of Randy Altschuler, the conservative Republican candidate for Congress (NY-1), today again called on Chris Cox to stop the “lies, disinformation and dirty tricks that have become the hallmark of his campaign”. The Altschuler campaign was referring to an August 27th news release from the Cox campaign where Chris Cox is caught red-handed lying to the media and the Republican voters of the 1st Congressional District.

NY-1 and NY-4: With So Much Drama in the GOP…
I’m all in for Randy Altschuler (NY-1) and Frank Scaturro (NY-4), the two candidates the articles happen to favor. I’ve blogged aboot their races here and here. I’m also pro-primary…when there are differences to debate, and when the voters than get to make their choice.
We start in the NY-1, where the establishment’s interference may or may not have affected our Gubernatorial and Senate races as well. Kim Strassel from the Wall Street Journal goes into more detail, but a snippet…read more >Friday, August 27, 2010

New Video - Randy Altschuler: Chris Cox, not one of us.
Announcer: Seen the Chris Cox ad?Chris Cox: In Congress I'll put Suffolk County taxpayers first.Announcer: What does Chris Cox know about Suffolk taxes? Cox has never paid property taxes in Suffolk County. He doesn't own property here. In fact, here's his apartment where he lives in New York City. And while he's running for Congress Cox has been staying at his uncle's mansion in the Hamptons. Chris Cox, not what he appears to be, and not one of us.

Letter From Suffolk County Conservative Party Chairman Ed Walsh To Candidate Christopher Cox
Dear Christopher:
...Your wild claims that Randy Altschuler is buying this election ring hollow when one reads press reports that credit your uncle, Howard Cox, with donating $50,OOO to a local GOP town committee in the congressional district. A very generous gift, when you realize that Howard Cox lives in Massachusetts and merely summers in the Hamptons. But, it’s just one of many “donations” your family has given in their misguided attempt to purchase you a congressional seat.
And, while we are on the topic of wild claims you have made, let’s take a look at your meritless attempt to force an Opportunity to Ballot on the Conservative Party line. Simply put; you failed.In the process, you attempted to smear the Suffolk County Conservative Party, its members and Executive Committee and even well respected Supreme Court Judge. The state Supreme Court ruled against you nevertheless; citing a string of technical deficiencies in your petitions, as well as fake signatures and paid petitioners who perpetrated fraud in your craven attempt to muddy the electoral waters.Your lack of accomplishments and your habit of stretching the truth and refusing to be forthright are the reasons you did not receive the backing of the Suffolk County Conservative Party.read moreTuesday, August 24, 2010
Letter From Suffolk County Conservative Chairman Ed Walsh To Candidate Christopher Cox
Dear Christopher,
...Randy Altschuler has created well over 700 jobs for hard working Americans. To the best of my knowledge your sole attempt at job creation has been the numerous hires and fires that have taken place on your campaign staff since January. ...Christopher, your campaign takes pleasure in labeling Randy Altschuler a "millionaire" as they insinuate that there is something wrong with that or that perhaps that he is attempting to buy this election. Well, truth be told; you are a millionaire too. What differentiates the two of you is that Randy Altschuler, through hard work and determination, earned every cent he has. You simply inherited it.read more >

Randy's Response to Ground Zero Mosque
Randy Altschuler: Our country is the most religiously tolerant nation on Earth...But this isn't a question of religious tolerance.
Watch now >Friday, August 20, 2010
The New York Republican establishment was handed a searing lesson in the perils of top-down machine politics last November.
Today, it's the case of New York's first congressional district, located in Long Island's Suffolk County. Democratic Rep. Tim Bishop is in his fourth term in this battleground district, which George W. Bush won in 2004. He is under fire for party-line votes on everything from stimulus to health care. This is the sort of seat the GOP needs in order to gain a majority this fall.
The party looked set to do well. Businessman Randy Altschuler has been campaigning for more than a year on fiscal conservatism and pro-growth policies. The party banked him with strong fund raising and the endorsements of everyone from House GOP Whip Eric Cantor to local officials. He did face some competitors, including George Demos, a former SEC attorney, and Gary Berntsen, a former CIA official. New York has both Republican Party and Conservative Party ballot lines. In the usual course of things, Messrs. Altschuler, Demos and Berntsen would have engaged in a bottom-up competition for the committee votes and endorsements of the parties. One candidate would usually scoop both by spring, leaving him largely free to focus on Mr. Bishop.Enter new state GOP party chairman Ed Cox—or rather, his son. Chris Cox, a lawyer, is a long-time resident of Manhattan. In January, however, he changed his voting address to his uncle's house in the Hamptons and announced for NY 1. The airdrop of the party boss's son caused an uproar.Mr. Altschuler in May thumped Mr. Cox for the Conservative Party nomination, yet Mr. Cox keeps pursuing the Republican Party line. The Suffolk County GOP, under Ed Cox's watchful eye, initially considered anointing his son. But grass-roots pushback has instead resulted in an open Sept. 14 primary for the Republican slot.Thursday, August 19, 2010

Several House Incumbents Lag Behind Challengers in Money in the Bank
At the end of June, fourth-term Rep. Tim Bishop (D-N.Y.) faced a cash-on-hand deficit of $343,500 in New York's 1st Congressional District. Bishop is being challenged by Republican businessman Randy Altschuler. Altschuler has pumped more than $2 million of his own money into his challenge -- although he must still defeat several GOP challengers in the Sept. 14 primary. The district narrowly went for Republican George W. Bush during the 2004 presidential race, while Obama won it by 4 percentage points in 2008.

In Long Island's NY-1, Republican Randy Altschuler poked at incumbent Democratic Rep. Tim Bishop, saying his response to the mosque proposal "can be summed up in one word; silence.

McLaughlin: The Only Republican Candidate Who Can Beat Tim Bishop is Randy Altschuler
McLaughlin suggests that if Randy Altschuler does not get the Republican nomination Christopher Cox or George Demos will not be able to unseat NY-01's Rep Tim Bishop.
"If a candidate is to win in this district this year, then they must have the Conservative Party line. If another candidate gets the Republican line they will not be able to generate the support necessary to win in November without the Conservative endorsement."read moreMonday, August 9, 2010
Only a fusion GOPer can beat Bishop
The Conservative Party candidate locked in a GOP primary for Democratic Rep. Tim Bishop's seat has an internal polling memo showing that only a fusion candidate with the "C" and "R" lines can win that right-tilting district in the fall.
The memo, obtained by POLITICO, was done by pollster John McLaughlin, who's working with businessman Randy Altschuler, the Conservative line candidate for the seat in which the GOP chips are still falling.The memo basically suggests that the other candidates in the GOP field, which includes Christopher Cox, the grandson of Richard Nixon and son of the New York state GOP chairman, and former SEC attorney George Demos, are spoilers.read more >Friday, August 6, 2010
