If you live in NY, I'd say you're a little worse off. Then again, I live in one of the remaining (beleaguered) islands of conservatism in PA.

I'm fairly close to Pike County PA, and that place quit being a conservative bastion decades ago.

But that comes from it's proximity,I hope, with New York and New Jersey.

Unless it comes from the over-abundance of government offices in that area. Like the National Park service....
My part of New York is one of the few areas that didn't block vote for ALGore. At least, not willingly.
They also didn't vote for Hitlery. (I am aware of only 230 votes for the Beats from my area. But my area is ratehr rural.)
