I agree. New York and California were blowouts in favor of the Democrats.
So I wish somebody would explain to me why New York has elected and reelected a Republican governor? And why New York City keeps voting for Republican mayors the last three times? And why California dumped a Democrat governor, who followed decades of Republican governors (Wilson and Deukmajian), and replaced that Democrat with another Republican?
It is the weirdest thing.
You would think NY of all places, would understand the importance of reelecting "W". But then maybe they voted with their morals (or lack thereof).
