It's worth noting that New York Republicans like Nelson Rockefeller were at the forefront of some of most radically leftist policies in American society (legalized abortion, for example).

Anyone who bases their votes on party identification is a loser, in my opinion. The term "Republican" has no meaning whatsoever in the context of liberal vs. conservative political philosophies.

Sadly, the same is true in Illinois.
