Otherwise, nobody pays any attention to them.

It's all very childish. Just say what you are going to do or deny you are going to do anything like every other politician.

They're a one-trick pony, and they have no access to power. I can't remember an instance where they actually influenced policy. I suppose there's a first time for everything, but Gov. Patterson is probably the better bet (which isn't saying much). The Straphangers are so utterly predictable that practically nothing they say moves the conversation.
