it looks to me like obama under-performed out on long island.

Not really.  Kerry won Nassau 52-47 and Suffolk 49-49 in 2004.  Obama took Nassau 53-46 and Suffolk 52-47.

i was expecting a bigger improvement on kerry's numbers.

there are plenty of n-haters on LI, trust me.  plenty of Obama = terrorist Facebook statuses last night.

that and, keep in mind, McCain is a fundamentally better candidate for LI than Bush was ever.

What amazes me is that New York's House delegation is now split 26-3.  Of course, if not for the whole NY-13 debacle it would have been 25-4.

You sure? Who are the 3 remaining NY House Republicans? I thought the remaining ones got wiped out this year (NY-13, NY-25, NY-29)?

NY-3 (King), NY-23 (McHugh), NY-26 (Lee).  All of them are pretty safe.

Until the newly Democratic State Senate, State Assembly and Governor (assuming Patterson is reelected in 2010) redistrict those Republican incumbents out of existence after 2010, leaving 1 or 2 districts statewide that a Republican might win.

easier said than done, given geography and all.

keep in mind Staten Island may well flip at any moment.
