Women? A Republican? I'm not buying it for a minute.

Maybe, maybe not. Lee's seat is pretty much impossible to eliminate by redistricting, unique among the NY GOP seats.
Technically, I suppose you could keep Slaughter's current monstrosity intact and put Lee's home suburb in it. But I fail to see any reason why anyone should do so, besides spite.

What do you think of this proposal?

"Reed takes south of 90; Buerkle gets n of 90 along lakeshore Slaughter gets Monroe "
From Syracuse all the way to Buffalo? Ugh.Certainly. If Lee resigns or does not run again, but the logical district is drawn anyways, he's somebody who could run.

I don't know about the Upstate, but on Long Island the two county clerks are, if not household names, still reasonably known by the populace.
Long Island's counties are twice the size of congressional districts, so, yeah. Obviously not comparable.

Things would have to get down the sh!tter pretty badly for Corwin for this to get seriously competitive, and Hochul's name rec or lack of it and Davis' natural constituency or lack of it to matter.
Obviously, given the past record of by-elections in New York state, you can't rule anything out, but, yeah.

Plenty of time for the race to move into genuine three-way tossup territory then, leading to Corwin tanking and finally dropping out to ensure Davis' victory? Tongue

Very funny - but you have an interesting definition of "subtle". Tongue

Blast from the past, Kev.

Davis' high support may just be indicative of low turnout, no?
