Note to Post: Jesse's not dead


The New York Post's Page Six gossip column wrote today about Senate candidate Jim Neal, who used to live in New York, in its edition today: 

JESSE Helms will be spinning in his grave if Jim Neal beats Sen. Elizabeth Dole for the US Senate seat Helms held for five terms in North Carolina. "I am gay and the most viable gay person to ever challenge an incumbent US senator in what many consider a 'red state' - it's anything but," Neal told Page Six. Neal, who's 10 points behind Dole in a recent poll, is coming to New York for a huge fund-raiser being thrown Jan. 31 by painter Ross Bleckner in his studio. "I am going to win this damned race and shatter another glass ceiling," Neal vows. 

Memo to Page Six: Jesse's still alive.
