Nancy Larraine Hoffmann  The Republicans, the Times Union
reports today, have a likely choice for Lieutenant Governor:
former liberal Republican State Senator Nancy Larraine Hoffmann,
who lost her Syracuse seat in a complicated three-way race a
couple of years ago.  She is also, as far as I know, the only
statewide candidate to have worked (if briefly) as what Marc
Humbert delicately describes as a “go-go dancer.” Which is fine,
as long as she never tripped anyone in the playground.
