Son of GOP nominee throws hat into ring for Staten Island's seat (NY-13)

I hope you folks appreciate what we New Yorker's do to keep you entertained...

It could be father versus son in the race for Staten Island's seat in the House of Representatives.

An already topsy-turvy political year grew even more so today when Francis M. Powers, the son of GOP designee Francis H. Powers, said he would seek the Libertarian Party line to run for the 13th Congressional District seat.

...snip...

Though known as Fran Powers, the younger Powers said he would look to be listed on the ballot as Francis M. Powers.

When asked about the head scratching that might cause voters, Powers said, "If people can't tell the difference between the Republican Party and the Libertarian Party, maybe they shouldn't be voting."

2. There's a strategy in there somewhere

we need to find candidates who's names are the same as the most repugnant GOP incumbents.....and run them in the same races
