I'm from New York. I can sympathize especially with your Senatorial problem. Here in New York we have a genuine liberal problem that's just as maddening.

NY is just plain wierd sometimes. I grew up there, but am glad I moved away. It's been downhill ever since, although I heard during Rudy's tenure it got a bit better.
NY used to be a major manufacturing center, aircraft industry, IBM, Corning, etc but slowly it's dying away.
