“Yet another reason to despise New York.”
Yet another reason to despise New York [CITY], not NY in general.
NYC votes for 0bama = 1677024 for Romney = 373847 (NYC ratio D:R = 4.48:1 Democrat)
Subtracting NYC votes from total NY state votes 0bama = 2198802 Romney = 1852790 (Still a ratio of 1.186:1 Democrat) New York state without NYC is still majority democrat.
New York [CITY], not NY
A distinction without a difference. Plus the grossly misnamed "SAFE" act passed for the STATE of NY, not just NYC.
