No not exactly, it's wrong.
53% of Staten Islanders voted for McCain/Palin in 2008, while the rest of the country voted for Obama by 7 points.
49% of Staten Islanders voted for Romney/Ryan in 2012, down a little because most of the affected neighborhoods in Staten Island vote Republican and they no longer live there. Meanwhile the country went for Obama by 2 points.
So since the country is more pro Obama than Staten Island, since you think that Staten Island is getting "a little karmic payback", and since you live in the good old USA, do you think a "little karmic payback" on your house a property is in order?
If 53% voted for McCain, that means 47% voted for Obama in 2008. If 49% voted for Romney in 2012, that means 51% voted for Obama. So what are you saying? It’s the exact split we saw in this election.
