“Who can best fix the dysfunction in Albany…”

“Good thing we’ll be done before the Yankees game.”

Which of the major party candidates will be the first to say:

“There is a clear choice between the major party candidates.”

Which of the five minor-party candidates will be the first to say:

“The major parties don’t offer a choice.”

“I am the only candidate speaking for … Fill in the blank.”

Who in press punditry will be the first to say:
