WOW--New York City is now COMPLETELY Blue!

[Bicoastal]

Since 1980, the 14th Congressional District (Staten Island plus a chunk of SW Brooklyn) has been solidly Republican. This year, It took a drunk driving bigamist (complete w/3 children!) scumbag named Vito Fossella to turn the district from R to D--the lone GOP holdover in NYC.

Congrats to Mike McMahon--and move over, Boston! Ya got company!

2. Actually, in the percentage of vote for Dems in the 2004 elex by city....

.... I was surprised at how low NYC was. It barely cracked the Top 20.

3. When does Peter King's lease on (political) life end?

I wish him a landslide loss.

5. Even Mayor-for-Life Bloomberg ditched the GOP

after he lobbied them to have their '04 convention there, no less!

7. Actually...not really.

He changed *registration* to independent to maneuver for a possible WH run but he has since gone back bigtime to GOP..... dotated 500,000 K to state GOP to keep control of state senate.

They lost anyway. The more one sees of Bloomberg the less one is impressed by his savvy. In other words, I don't think he's especially bright. Yeah, I know, he made a lot of money on Wall Street but in political terms, he's actually a bit of a moron.

8. Wish it happened to the rest of the state...

But, it did not... we still have 3 repuKKKes to get rid of.
My congress repuKKKe, that a**hole from out in Erie County and of course the old piece of sh!t himself... pecker king....

9. The entire state government is now blue and may be bluer...

when the last 3 senate seats are settled.
