Any specifics as to who is in danger exactly? My Congressman, Jim Walsh (Syracuse and surrounding area) will sail to reelection. I'm not sure he even has a Democratic opponent.
I have family who lives in upstate NY in a heavily Republican district. The people there could care less about the supposed Spitzer and Hildabeast effect, who's support comes mostly from New York City. They'll re-elect their Republican candidate by a wide margin.
Sue Kelly.
According to Rahm Emanuel, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, these are the House Republicans in New York who are vulnerable in a Hillary landslide:
John Sweenney, 20th District
Sherwood Boehlert, 24th District
Randy Kuhl, 29th District
Tom Reynolds, 26th District
James Walsh, 25th District
Sue Kelly, 19th District
Emanuel quote: "Hillary Clinton and Eliot Spitzer are get-out-the-vote magnets for the Democrats."
Normally, I'd be willing to dismiss Emanuel's prediction as the latest blather by a Dem apparachik that never seems to pan out.
But this time, the math is irrefutable. There's simply no way that a big NY landslide for Hillary can be good for the above incumbents.
Perhaps some of the skeptics here would like to explain how a Hillary coronation in NY won't have consequences for the national GOP - but I just don't see it.
There's simply no excuse for Republicans/conservatives to throw in the towel in the Hillary race at this early date (which is what most are doing). And it's a fair bet that they will pay the price for continuing in that direction by forfeiting not just New York - but the entire House, the crown jewel of the GOP revolution.
Hello impeachment, goodbye George Bush.
