My point, which you plainly missed, is that the so-called Republican majority you claimed outside of NYC sure as hell didn't do squat in the last senate election. And you think they're going to get suddenly mobilized for Rudy when they couldn't even mobilize against Hillary? Give me a break.
see the map. the NYC counties that put Hillary over the top, those are the NYC counties that elected Rudy mayor twice. Even if Hillary won NYC as a 2008 presidential candidate, the margin of her victory there would be far less then it was in her Senate race - not enough to win her the state. The Dems have no way to win the presidency without winning new york state, toss NJ and Conn into the mix too.
