Gee, does this mean that there might be a chance that the GOP could someday carry New York if this trend continues?
No. Interestingly, NYC has been hostile to Puritans, and Whigs and Pubbies since its founding. Morality was never allowed to get in the way of money. Blame the Dutch.
The last time there was a moral crusade in New York, it was the one led by Reverend Parkhurst in the late 19th Century. A proponent of the "good government movement", Tammany later had the last laugh when the Tabloids reported his, uh, "extracurricular affairs."
Bush carried Staten Island buy a comfortable margin in '04.
