Siena College

Another college poll. Another "give students a list of phone numbers to call, students make up numbers that sound good yet plausible, turn them to the professor, then go slam down a few beers" poll.

New York State and New York City.

Some of the highest taxes in the nation. Crumbling economy (especially upstate but coming soon to NYC). Actually losing population.

Solution? Bigger government and higher taxes...

“Tax me more” New Yorkers. Electing a fraud punk who gave their senator the finger during his campaign and whose nutty wife was too contemptuous of America to even show up for 9-11 commemoration.

That’s change they can believe in.

They didn't poll business owners...

88% of NY business owners (Sole Prop, CEO, COO, etc) between $1m and $250M annual sales are for McCain.

I ripped SRI a new one over this - but their director is completely in the tank for “The One”

I see plenty zombie “yoot” wearing T-shirts or attached pins supporting this twit. They are dimwitted and hold an immeasurable fascination for “Him” through brainwashing.

College polls suck. Obama will win New York but not by that margin.

Darn. I thought for sure the PUMAs would pull NY out on behalf of their Jr. Senator. (smile)

Has anyone else noticed that there was absolutely no news coverage when Obama “rushed” to Hawaii to see his supposedly dying grandmother? I did not see one picture of Obama in Hawaii. How do we actually know that he was really there?

So, wouldn't huge numbers like this for 2 states (NY & CA) tend to skew the national numbers quite a bit.

As someone who was born in New York, I can tell you that I am very happy that I left it behind me.
