You don’t know jacksquat about New York. The Bronx voted for Obama 83-16. Obama got almost as many votes in NYC as Romney got in the entire state. Go take a stroll through Fort Apache, Bed Sty or the projects in the eastern Bronx some night and have your wife let me know how you made out.
What? NYC has some bad neighborhoods, I didn't know that.;-)
Or for that matter, just take a stroll through Central Park at night.
