From the Queens Courier:The charges against State Senator Malcolm Smith already have the political world swirling with rumors on a potential replacement if the embattled legislator is found guilty.
Councilmember Leroy Comrie and Jason Hilliard, chief of staff for Congressmember Gregory Meeks, were both reported to be eyeing the spot.
But Comrie, a candidate for borough president, said he doesn’t have any plans to drop out and switch his focus to Albany. Right now Comrie is focused on the race for Borough Hall – an election the deputy majority leader is confident he can win.

He's three times the size of Malcolm!
Wasn't he supposed to go on a diet a few years ago?
He's lost about 100 lbs.
One crooked "bro" swapped for another?
He'd hold more weight, that's for sure.
Say what you want about Councilman Leroy Comrie (and I am not his biggest fan), but he is actually one of the few Jamaica politicians who has not been involved in any type of corruption. Would I vote for him as Queens Borough President, NO, just based on his lack of addressing the Jamaica garbage problem or coming up with an action plan (although supposedly he is working on a anti-blight bill).
Conroe has no compassion for carriage horses.
He is an absolute gentleman in a sea of scumbags...He treats everyone, regardless of income or race, with equal interest and respect...He's soft spoken and humble...How in the hell he ever got into politics is beyond me...I hope he gets the position.
I agree with the above comment that Comrie is a gentleman in a total sea of scumbags and corruption and is very soft spoken and humble, BUT that does not mean he would be best for a higher position. I feel that as a Jamaica resident he has done pretty much NOTHING in regard to the horrendous garbage problem that has been going on for years. Based on that alone, I could not in my right mind move him up to a higher position.
I love the guy, but I can't see him schlepping to Albany.
Dude,it's the people.....you can't change culture...........get over it.They're not gonna have sanitation coming around everyday to clean up after savages.............
