1) NY just re-elected a Republican Govenor.

Who has moved so far left he's crowding Lenin.

2) NYC has had a Republican mayor for a decade.

There's also a big difference in ideology between Giuliani and Bush. And Bloomberg was a Dem until about a week before the election (exaggeration for effect).

3) Republican Convention will be held in NYC and focus on National Security which has suddenly become the most important issue to NYC residents.

2000 GOP convention was in Philly. Bush lost PA.

4) Rev. Al will take a disproportionate # of black votes in NYC

I doubt it, if party leaders even allow him to still be in the race by then.

5) Chaney's out. Bank on it. The question is "who replaces him?"

I'd perhaps put more stock in your declaration if you at least could spell the VP's name correctly. I can't even begin to imagine why the President would want to replace such a valuable asset.

Gore won NY with 60% of the popular vote in 2000, and the Impeached Rapist pulled the same percentage in NY in '96.

You condescending attitude needs no work. You've got it down. However, if you had bothered to read my post, you would have noticed that I'm on your side:

From my original post: New York is very winnable. Especially, unfortunately, if Bush picks Guliani for veep. The Dems can't win any national election without NY.

I live in NY & I know Rudy personally. His heart is in the right place, but he's a shameless liberal on many social issues. He is as far right as you are ever going to get out of NY, but he's terrible on a national level.

Sharpton is going to do what he wants to to regardless of what "party leaders" want. He's looking for a cabinet post. His candidacy will devote a lot of time to trashing the democratic candidate. It won't swing black votes to Bush, but it will encourage blacks to avoid the polls.

I can't even begin to imagine why the President would want to replace such a valuable asset.

Again, agreed. But the VP is not a healthy man. I'm guessing he might step down on his own.

2000 GOP convention was in Philly. Bush lost PA.

That's right! I completely forgot that PA was Cheney's home state. Reading comprehension: Look into it.
