She's probably not going to have a chance, but she would do much better than Joe DioGuardi at least.

I think she will run against Kathy Hochul.

Do we even know if Hochul's district will still be around? Or have legislators decided to erase Slaughter's district instead?

Republicans have a snowball's chance in hell of winning any kind of general election in New York any time soon.

Absolutely. The state's partisan environment doesn't favor them, but their biggest problem is that the statewide party organization is a disaster.

on the local level in the NY metro it's even worse.

What's disasterous about it? I know they've had trouble with candidate recruitment in recent years, but what else?

The GOP should get Carl Paladino to run for the Hochul seat. Never would have lost it in the first place.

He isn't winning if he runs. Can you image the attack ads from the DNC?
