I'm willing to bet the condo complex in question has at least an 80% favorable rating for Obama.Even assuming that's more or less correct (I would hedge less a bit, although given the number of people working in financial services, perhaps it does tend higher than the norm) I that's just in line with the general negative perception of the GOP in NYS, and especially in NYC. The GOP recently lost a race in which it had heavily invested (to succeed to the seat vacated by then-Representative Gillibrand) in which it had much more of an advantage. To be sure, they have Mayor Bloomberg, but that's just nominally - I think that we agree on this; if anyone is a RINO, it's certainly Michael Bloomberg; he has this arrangement where he and friends donate to the party, and then they endorse him. To be sure, given the abysmal state of governance by David Paterson, perhaps the Republicans can stage a sort of comeback, but that's still not really changing the fact that they are viewed unfavorably right now, especially in NYC. Anyhow, these sorts of issues are pretty far afield from the original discussion, so I am happy to table it, as this isn't OTchat. |
