What do we know about O'Grady

[hempstead1]

what exactly do we know about her, aside from the issues. What's her past? what qualifies her at this point to run. does anyone know anything about the social circles she runs in??????

All you need to know about her tenacity is that when Frisa tried to throw her off the ballot she fought back and flattened him. 50% in a three way race is a VERY impressive showing. She is Carolyn McCarthy's worst political nightmare. This race just got facinating.

[Pollster]

I disagree Mel from Bellmore.

50% in a three way race wins, sure. But, it also shows 50% of the Republican vote is up for grabs. In the wake of previous McCarthy campaigns she should end up carrying about 35% of the Republican vote, which is more than sufficient to defeat this new-right female Republican.

I just don't see what issue O'Grady can grab on to that will corner McCarthy. Health Care - No. Social Security - No. Education - give me a break. Abortion? Gun Control? Taxes - after what Nassau's Republicans did to the fiscal management issue around here? The Economy? Apart from these top issues where does she go? Bringing home the bacon? Need more than that. Scandal - backfire material.

Show me the beef in the O'Grady campaign? As for McC, TRAGEDY INTO TRIUMPH! will send her back to Congress...and probably a majority Democratic one at that, then you will see her rolling the dough down stream.

Pollster, don't quit your day job.

ANY issue you pick, O'Grady is head and shoulders above McCarthy.

You ask what is O'Grady all about.

I ask, what has McCarthy done in 6 years? Oh, that's right, she asks Ackerman and Schumer what to do.

McCarthy is very vulnerable on defense issues: cut funding for intelligence agencies, border patrol...

Voted against permanent tax cuts. Can Nassau County residents afford her anymore?

O'Grady has no shot...She's a die hard right wing right to lifer and she'll be exposed for what she is....I'm sure the john birch society would love to have her

[martys]

Same prediction as before-McCarthy has to be an 8-10 fave no matter what going into this race. It'll get interesting! McCarthy's base is still pretty solid.

[buffalo03]

Sure, McCarthy has a base of support that is still strong, but she has been absolutely invisible in Congress ever since she's been in office. I hear more from King, Grucci, Israel, and Ackerman than I do from my own Representative - not to mention other New York reps that are not from LI.

She is obviously a pawn of the Democratic party, as she votes with them almost all of the time. The tax cut was the only prominant vote I've seen her cross lines, and even then, she repeatedly voted against it until the final bill when it was obvious it would pass. Then she touts herself as a supporter of tax relief...please.

She is really out of step with many voters in the district, if only they looked into her record, rather than her tragic past, which we all feel sympathy for.

In my community, I see O'Grady pulling some votes from Republican and independent women and many Catholics. (Having R, C, and RtL lines will help). I don't know the climate of every region in the district, but O'Grady is certainly the best candidate the GOP has fielded against McCarthy. And the lack of an attractive alternative has been a failing for the party since the Frisa debacle in 1994. Still a longshot, but don't count O'Grady out yet.

[hempstead1]

there is a defining fact in this election that you can't ignore. carolyn mccarthy is a VERY popular and likeable figure among people from all parties. I know many republicans who vote for her and like her.....While Dan Frisa when he was in congress has one staff worker at his local office, mccarthy has many who handle constituent problems, therefore alot gets done...Secondly, with Mccall running, her base in the minority community comes out BIGTIME.....Those of you who don't like her, are underestimating her popularity in thinking that O'Grady can win......Does Mrs. O'Grady have any understanding of what middle class and minority problems are, sitting in her Garden city mansion????

[B4C]

No, people here in the 1st CD don't hear from Grucci.

[ridinghi]

Again, it comes back to the same question. What has mccarthy done in 6 years.

What has she done for the minority community?

Fact:McCarthy has one of the worst constituency records in Congress. If you don't believe it, ask some Assemblymen from the district who have to go to King or Ackerman for help.

What issues or legislation can she take credit for? NONE

If you can ask with a straight face whether Ogrady can understand the middle class from her GC mansion, it didn't stop any of you from voting for Hillary who has 2 mansions.

Nobody believes this is going to be a cakewalk, but Ogrady can win.

If Becker can draw 75-80,000 votes than so can Ogrady. Then we have to pull in another 5000 or so votes.

It really is in O'Grady's hands. If she can raise the money and attack McCarthy relentlessly on her lack of accomplishments she can win, even if only by a small margin

attacking mccarthy's record is a non-starter.......she's done more for her constituents than you can ever know...don't even try it.....You don't just seem to have an idea how POPULAR she really is...she is beloved in this district by Dems, republicans, and independents alike...your hopes for beating her are a big ZERO......

[buffalo03]

I wouldn't call her beloved by any means. She votes well to the left of the district and is the opposite of a leader in Congress - and some people relaize this.

The fact is that she only gained 52% of the vote the last time Pataki was on the ballot against a campaign I personally heard little from. Is McCarthy popular? Yes, she's a likeable person, but not an invincible incumbent.

[Publicus]

I can't let your last comment go by without response. First of all, McCarthy has a TERRIBLE record of constituent service. She has no idea of the needs of her voters. She has not even appeared in most areas of her district since her first election campaign. The other day I spoke with the Democratic leader of a minority area of her district and was told that she hasn't appeared there at all for years. Unlike most incumbants, the longer she is in office the more people realize that there's nothing there. Her fellow members of Congress consider her a joke and a shill for the Democratic leadership.
As for O'Grady living in a mansion in Garden City, nothing can be further from the truth. I understand that she lives in an apartment. A far cry from the home in Southampton where Carolyn McCarthy spends all her time when she's not in Washington. Someday someone will lift the veil off McCarthy and we'll all judge her on the merit of her actions. She's a fraud, fails to make any effort in her district, and has a terrible record in Washington. We can do better. O'Grady would be a start.

[hempstead1]

Grady has millions in the bank and a home on the north fork of long island...give me a break...Don't even try to lie about mccarthy's constituent record......

Kitchen Measures (http://kitchenmeasures.com/)

[buffalo03]

If her constituent record is so good, I'd like to hear some examples. (Not counting her bandwagon tactics)

[nassaulaw]

As a former representative for a politician, I have attended many Eagle Scout Ceremonies. Traditionally, the congressional office donates a flag that flew over the U.S. Capitol as a constituent service at Eagle Scout Ceremonies.

I have never seen a Rep from Carolyn McCarthy's Office at an Eagle Ceremony.

And plenty of young men who did not get their well deserved United States Flag.

That should be cause for considerable concern.

Hempstead1, at least have the guts to admit you're a McCarthy employee.

McCarthy, so beloved. Give me a break. She has her followers, pretty much the blind leading the blind.

If not for the Minority vote in the Village of Hempstead, Becker would have beaten her 4 years ago.

He needed 5001 more votes to win. He lost Hempstead by 13,000 votes. You do the math,if you know how.Or maybe you and McCarthy can do the math together in her Hampton's mansion
Hard to understand how one can afford a mansion on $150,000 a year. a salary so meager, according to so many pol's, that they have to give themselves a raise every year.
Come clean Hempstead1. Are you a bleeding heart lib. or a McCarthy employee?

Hey, thats not true, he won as an Assemblyman which is a step down from a dog-catcher. (j/k).

Anyway, O'Grady needs to step up her campaign. She has a chance since our current congresswoman doesn't like to see her shadow so never visits her constituents.

[lighthouseli]

Saturday's NY TIMES' Long Island section front page full co,or pic story on McCarthy was tantamount to a re-election ad; still, she is better than O'Grady.

Yes, McCarthy was a so-called 'Ameteur' neophyte candidate in 1996, never having run for office before; but she was visible, active and well known in healthcare, and later, by tragic occurence, in the gun control community. In short, she was 'Out There', thrust there by the tragedy that befell her late husband and badly injured son.

O'Grady? WHO is O'Grady? WHAT has she done, publicy, in the years before this one?

To the contrary, I have a friend who is an opthomologist in her District and says her reputation is great.

Why don't you ask some fellow Representatives about McCarthy's reputation. She's considered a non-entity "a joke" to quote one.

[kevin12]

nice try publicus....Your comment doesn't even deserve an answer cause your so far off.....mccarthy by 20....

[Publicus]

The merry widow may very well win, as most incumbents in Congress do, but the point is that after 6 years we can take the measure of a person's abilities and McCarthy is seriously deficient. The point is that she's ineffective and is regarded as a light weight by her fellow members and members of her own staff.

[hempstead1]

that merry widow statement sums up your low class to begin with.....you don't warrant an answer

she's not going win but at least O'grady has more brainpower than the last two gopers. maybe you guys finally get it, run good people not machine hacks.

[Publicus]

It seems that you have no argument regarding her incompetence. How's her gun control legislation record? Remember that she went to Washington to pass this legislation? She said that she would leave as soon as it was passed. Her most famous vote was her vote against her own gun control legislation. She's tried and failed and in so doing has disregarded her duties to her constituents. We'd all be better off if she advocated for gun control from the outside (in fact, she was much more effective doing so) and let a competent person handle the thousand and one other tasks that she's neglected.

since the 70's the Nassau gop ran this county using political feudalism. they bloated the payroll with their underlings and created a system that encourage total loyalty to the lords in Westbury.is it any wonder that the only people that could advance were the vassals that never questioned the leadership.
when the music stopped, Tom G and the boys were unable to meet the crisis. unless you guys start recruiting
