Albany has had its own Democrat machine for a long time. No Republican has won the Mayor’s office since 1918.
Thanks for the info about Albany politics. Guess I know one place we won’t be moving to any time soon. I have family in the Albany area, but not the city itself. As I think of it, I don’t think there’s a place in all of NYS where I’d move, tho I do enjoy visiting.
Albany democrats perfected the system of jobs and handouts for votes when Obama's granpappy was a mere baby in a Kenyan mud hut.
