David Bellavia won't endorse Corwin, says nice things about Davis and Hochul

By Howard B. Owens

Batavia resident and one-time congressional hopeful David Bellavia is planning to endorse a candidate in the NY-26, according to neoconservative magazine The Weekly Standard, and it won't be Jane Corwin.

About Jack Davis, Bellavia said:

"Jack is a veteran. Jack is a self-made man," Bellavia said. "He's a guy who will leave his factory to his workers when he dies. He's right on immigration. He's right on jobs. The issues that I disagree with Jack, I disagree with all three [candidates]. There's not one pro-life candidate in this race."

As for Kathy Hochul:

Bellavia said Hochul is a "smart, honorable, decent woman" who's had to "move left" to appeal to her party. "I do respect her and I do like her."

Corwin's hapless campaign is now getting national attention -- not much of it positive. Check out this scathing article in US News. Funny that it was a commenter on the Batavian, I believe, who first brought the inflated job creating timeline to light. http://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/susan-milligan/2011/05/10/new-york-…

It has been a mean spirited campaign right from the beginning when they discarded David Bellavia like the weekly trash. Langworthy and company should be ashamed.

David Bellavia is spot on when he says there is no pro-life candidate in the race. It also saddens me that in what I thought was a conservative area, so many will vote for Corwin possibly because the Conservative party hastily and, I believe wrongly, endorsed her. The proof is in the fact that myself and only a handful of others in today's survey voted to shun party endorsement and write in David Bellavia
