Yea, yea, yea, I've heard it before about New Yorkers: From the 2012 presidential election results
The data you cite is shocking to be sure. And I think there are a lot of cities where you would see similar stats. Wonder what the numbers would be for Chicago, Boston, and San Francisco? And how many conservatives didn't bother to vote in NY knowing that their vote wouldn't matter? 63% of New York state voters chose 0bama in 2012. I live in Penn., and some precincts in Philadelphia tallied zero votes for Romney out of thousands of people. Now some say Trump actually could win New York in a general election. Who knows? I don't think it's outside the realm of possibilities, especially if conservatives are motivated to turn out. Call it what you want: New York Values, Nashua City Values, South Carolina values: trashing a State or city is not a winning strategy, IMHO. |
