Nope. NY is NOT in play - only the most seriously deluded thinks Romney can carry it.
Its a lock for Obama, thanks to New York City!
because of all of the chaos around here in NY, Romney will come a lot closer that Republicans in the past but he won’t win NY - NJ may be another story.
“Its a lock for Obama, thanks to New York City!”
But what may help Romney there is that many New Yorkers are probably very upset with the federal government due to lackluster assistance with Hurricane Sandy.
i live in liberalsville, NY (new castle....home of the clintons) and i agree- NY is not in play but it may be an indicator of what’s going to happen in those “light blue” and “light red” states....here’s why...
four years ago my polling station was packed- you could not get into the parking lot and the lines were long- super long for this polling station as everyone was there to vote for obozo....
i voted the same time this morning (about 11AM)- it was empty...the parking lot at the entrance of the poll was half full...in and out in three minutes...
again- don’t think NY goes Romney yet if obama enthusiasm is down in an area where four years ago 8 of every ten cars had obama stickers, what’s it going to be like in a toss-up area??
the only thing that concerns me is how does the thread starter know Astoria, which is full of greeks, hispanics and latinos. is lining up to vote for Romney???
