Nassau was closer at 52-47 but Freeport, Hempstead, Glen Cove and Long Beach tipped the balance. To say LI is Kerry country is idiocy.

Lawnguyland has gone from one of the most reliable Republican strongholds in the country to being another liberal craphole. A little more than a decade ago, all but one congressmen from there were Republicans, but now only one -- and that's Peter King.
Carolyn McCarthy is now the congresscritter for what was once one of the staunchest, reflexively GOP districts in the area. Garden City, Franklin Square, etc. -- I remember when they had GOP offices in storefronts, but never recall seeing a Dem office. I shudder to think of what it must be like there now.
