Many Republicans register as Democrats in NYC. That’s because of the primary process in this one party city. So, those numbers are probably skewed. It’s definitely a Democratic stronghold, of course. When I was young, the Upper East Side was Republican. Silk Stocking District. It rejected DeBlasio just recently and he paid them back by not clearing the streets during a blizzard his first year in office.
Were I in NY I’d probably register as a Conservative.
They are a great group. I’m disappointed that they did not come to the Met Club debates this cycle but held their own event. They were the sharpest people in the room. I remember when Candy Crowley stepped way out of line to help Obama an instant overwhelming roar came from the back of the room, where they were all standing around in true politico fashion. I’m like, whu? Oh yah. She helped Obama. . . .
