In case you missed it...

Rick's Rolling - Rick Dollinger's campaign to return to Albany got a big boost Saturday. Dollinger now has the backing of the Monroe Co. Democratic Party. He's seeking the 56th District seat in the state Senate, held by Joe Robach, a Republican. Dollinger spent 10 years in the state Senate. Brighton town supervisor Sandy Frankel and Rochester City School District board member Willa Powell were also looking to run against Robach as Democrats.

Et tu, SNL? - Saturday Night Live has had a knack for making me cringe (I will always hold a grudge against the show for unleashing Will Ferrell on the world). You have to see Amy Poehler's sendup of Sen. Hillary Clinton and her underlying campaign strategy that kicked off the show this weekend. Absolutely brutal, in a "they went there" way. The wince-worthy clip of the weekend has plenty of Hillary supporters upset. It's a surprising turn of events. Two months ago, SNL seemed to be in Clinton's pocket, as skits made it seem like Clinton was the underdog as the press fawned over Obama, and Tina Fey openly cheered on Hillary from the Weekend Update desk. You're going to have to watch the clip and decide for yourself. You can catch it and other videos at SNL's new election website.
