The NY-26 Election. Have fun but keep your shirt on.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Jack Quinn III run here, even if his house is outside the district.

He is probably in NY-27, his father, grandfather whatever's old district.


I would think that George Marziarz or whatever his name is would have the nomination if he wanted it. Its chosen by the county party chairman, unless thats changed.

Now that we know who the two major party nominees are, the topic line is even more important for them to follow.

Anyhow, aside from 3rd parties and/or scandal, am I correct to assume that it will be a steep uphill climb for the Dems, esp. considering that NY-26 is more conservative than NY-23?

This district, or rather the 28th district was drawn specifically for the purpose of allowing Tom Reynolds to "vote like a Southern Conservative" in this district. This is one of the four districts that McCain actually won over Obama, unlike NY-23 which Obama carried narrowly and was far more Legacy Republican than it was structurally Republican.

This is bringing back bad memories. Of Senate pages and resigning Congressman and lost House seats. These crooks will never learn.

If we win this, does it count as payback for Scott Brown?

No.

If this really turns out to have been the way it looks in this short video, this could be Jack Davis' 'macaca moment'.

Sure didn't help Bob Etheridge, that's for sure.

Yeah, but Davis smacked down a Librul!!!

Apparently it was Corwin's Chief of Staff behind the camera.

Not sure when CoS's started spending their time being trackers though.

Wasn't Rand Paul's COS playing the role of stalker right after the primary in KY last spring?

Livingston is close, which is bad news for Corwin. I wonder if some of these rural ultra GOP counties are like the heavily Republican counties in Central and Western PA, all the dems come in first then the Republicans overwhelm them ending with GOP wins by 2-1 and 3-1 margins.

Livingston isn't an ultra GOP county though, it gave Obama 45% of the vote so these current results are consistent with what the results are showing in Monroe and Erie.

Indeed, that is true. My main interest was to find out from a demographic standpoint how uniform these "relatively" and strong GOP counties (I think the non-Erie, non-Niagara, non-Monroe Counties have been sufficiently grouped off, now. ).
