Sorry, let me rephrase that: Either rebutt effectively or shut yer trap.
NY is very winnable because:
1) It just re-elected a Republican govenor. 2) Sharpton's derisiveness will drive blacks away from the polls. 3) There is a good chance Guliani will end up replacing Cheney on the ticket. 4) Outside of NYC, the state has Republican leanings. NYC has voted for Republican mayors in the last 3 elections. 5) Nominated or not, Guliani is currently the golden-boy of the Republican party. He will play a huge role at the Republican Convention, which will be in NYC.
Now, before you itemize your responses, remeber what we are talking about here: "NYS is very winnable." Not "NYS is a shoe-in," or "We are going to win NYS." In other words, disagreement for the sake of disagreement doesn't win the argument. These are all legitimate points wether you like it or not. NYS is not off the table.
NY is in no way very winnable for the Pubbies.
Because I said so.
Because Shut up.
