What the fuck NY?

[Aviation Pro]

Are you really going to elect a MAGAt as governor so he can spike any judgement against Motherfucker?

Are you really going to do that?

Get out there and fucking vote.

[elleng]

1. No, don't believe the lies.

[jimfields33]

12. I think Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth, Warren, and others are taking it very seriously

There is no way they would go into a blue state when there are quite a few other states that are needed if they didn’t think it was important to come to New York.

[Demsrule86]

39. Hochul is ahead by double digits...she is going to win.

[thomski64]

2. Not going to happen

..illegitemi non carborundum..

[Kaleva]

3. According to this, Hochul is widening her lead

[elleng]

14. Thanks

[iluvtennis]

16. +1.

[Dr. Jack]

4. Nate Silver doesn't seem to think so

I wouldn't worry too much about New York

[Lithos]

24. Nate has inertia in his methodology

He uses something like simple moving averages to calculate his trends.

[TheBlackAdder]

29. FN HuffPo is pushing a piece that a GOPer stands good to defeat Sen. Hassan in New Hampshire.

[Claustrum]

5. What makes you say this?

The last poll I saw (like today or yesterday) had her up over 10 points and over that 50% threshold. Yeah, she is not leading 20 points or something but 10+ points lead seem pretty comfortable.

But, sadly, NY did elect some republican governors and mayors in the past.

[Claustrum]

7. Oops, I meant mayor. Corrected. Thanks!!!

[MerryHolidays]

8. No worries, but I loved the rest of your post! Thanks for that.

[wnylib]

21. Hochul started out with about a 20 point lead, but

Republicans are coming on strong with ads about crime in the past couple weeks. Her lead dropped to single digits. I have heard a variety of poll reports. Some have her in a dead heat with Zeldin. Others have her from 5 to 10 points ahead.

Hochul came out strong in support of abortion rights when Roe was overturned. Conservative and evangelical churches have been stirring up their members to vote against Hochul. They want a Republican who can influence the state legislature to repeal the NY law that codifies abortion rights.

Schumer is doing well.

I have heard some left and right analysts say that Hochul will probably win but it will be close.

I voted yesterday for Hochul and Schumer in a straight Dem ticket.

[NJCher]

31. well, remember in Jersey

How our progressive governor, Phil Murphy, ended up winning by only 1 percentage point.

We in the teacher's unions were horrified because we made practically -0- gains while Christie was governor.

[BlueKota]

9. Yeah

Like the jerk Pataki

[Raftergirl]

10. No, Rudy was never Governor of NY.

The last R Governor was Pataki.

Before that was Rockefeller and then Wilson, who finished out Rockefeller's term when he became Ford’s VP. That was in ‘75. It has been all Democrats since then, except for Pataki from ‘99-‘07.

[Claustrum]

11. Right. I already corrected my mistake when the other comment corrected me. Thanks!

[Raftergirl]

15. I didn't see it until after I posted.

[PortTack]

18. Michael Bloomberg was the republican gov of NY from 2002-2013

[Demsrule86]

20. Bloomberg was an independent and he was the Mayor of New York not the governor...the last

Governor was Pataki who was GOP...seriously?

[PortTack]

23. Oh...my mistake I thought he ran as a gop..I remember this from the NY Post

The 67-year-old billionaire mayor, an independent who ran on the Republican and Independence lines, blanketed the city and airwaves with ads, spending more than $100 million of his own money to bankroll his campaign.

[Lithos]

25. Also back in the days of Country Club Republicans

Who, if they had not "morphed", would be thrown out of today's GOP.

[Treefrog]

30. Rachel did a show on the Democratic govs of NY.

Unfortunately, they've not had such a stellar track record. She did the show during the Cuomo mess.

[Cha]

13. From reading this thread

I see it looks a lot better for Gov Hochul!

Thank Goodness!! I used to live there and got concerned!

[YoshidaYui]

17. Everyone needs to vote

Like their life depends on it cause it does!

[Demsrule86]

19. No Hochul is not losing...winning by double digits.

[Treefrog]

28. She's winning? And here I thought Election Day was Tuesday.

Whew. What a relief to hear!

[DetroitLegalBeagle]

34. You don't send heavy hitters to campaign for people leading by double digits

VP Harris, and the Clinton's were there recently. President Biden is going there Sunday. That doesn't happen for a campaign that has a comfortable lead. We are sending our biggest stars to a deep blue state in the final stretch of the election. That doesn't bode well for us. At minimum, they are seeing something in their internals that had them spooked. If Hochul was really leading by double digits, none of them would have traveled there now, they would be spending more time in swing states.

[JHB]

22. No effing way I'm voting for Hochul...

...because I'm across the river in Jersey, so that would be illegal.

[Lithos]

26. Something like that for me as well

I already cast my vote for Beto...

L-

[Better Days Ahoy]

32. Me, too. Across the same river in Western Mass

Wish I could

[Pmc1962]

27. Please do not underestimate the depth and power of misogyny.

Even in NY

[Kaleva]

35. Look at what happened here to the women who accused Cuomo of sexual harresment

She were called liars and if working for TFG.

[Patton French]

33. More disinformation

Not gonna happen.

[Meowmee]

36. I said this could happen

When they ousted Cuomo but everybody assured me it would never happen and now here we are. I know I’m in Z district and I know what he is. It’s going to be a disaster if he wins the election

[liberal_mama]

40. Me too. Cuomo was unbeatable in New York, in my opinion. Once they ousted him, I worried that we'd

end up with a nutjob Republican governor. I see the Zeldin signs everywhere and I haven't seen any Hochul signs and I live in Hochul's hometown.

[Meowmee]

42. Yep

That is bad. I am in z district and have not seen any signs for anyone. It’s not clear to me if that means anything or what it means etc. if we end up with z we are screwed.

[Dorian Gray]

37. Voting today

[RocRizzo55]

38. No way Jose

That loser stands an ice cube’s chance in hell of winning. Bank on it!

[pwb]

41. Women will win for us all over the country.

Cable shit media has been against Joe from the start. Making all elections appear close Is their play for all the ad money. I have not heard this being a New Yorker. Zeldin is a professional loser here. I have no concerns.

[liberal_mama]

43. I'm going to try to find the energy to do my mail-in ballot today. I've been too depressed to do it

since my beloved father died of Covid two weeks ago. I will be voting blue, of course, but I feel disappointed that my party didn't do enough to stop the spread of Covid. The vaccination only approach didn't work and thousands of Americans are still dying every week. I mean, no mandatory masks on public transportation or doctor's offices? That's crazy! It absolutely disgusts me. But I certainly don't want a republican governor so I will do my duty as a lifelong democrat. I'm just really sad about things right now.

[Meowmee]

44. I am very sorry about your father

And I feel the same way as you, my father also, and I consider it a murder on many levels. I cannot stand the insanity of this country anymore for too much longer. And of course I will always be voting against fascism and for what is best for everybody here.

And when I hear of people saying they’re not going to vote for some narcissistic reason or they’re not getting what they want, I think look at what is happened to me and everything I have lost, policies that hurt my family and my father being murdered, and I’m still voting the right way and I’m still voting. Those people do not deserve to be here, and they don’t deserve to have anything they have, they are so ungrateful… I don’t care what happens to them anymore to be honest, but they don’t have the right to hurt me and other good people who do the right thing. I think where do you get off complaining about anything and doing that?
