I'll remind you that there hasn't been a candidate from New York on a successful national ticket since FDR's last gasp in 1944. That's 62 years -- which is all the more remarkable when you consider that New York has been one of the largest states in the electoral college for that entire period of time (and THE largest for much of that era).

This isn't an odd coincidence, either. Most Americans recognize that for all intents and purposes, New York City isn't even really part of the United States anymore.

We agree Rudy is not an optimal nominee, but the above comment is, for lack of a better word, nonsense.

You are supposedly from NY. You hate NY. You're not too fond of our system of government. And your candidate does not yet exist.

And Giulaini will not get your vote. Se'la'vie.
