1. Staten Island (Richmond County) was one of the few counties to flip from McCain to Obama

And it was like 56% for Bush in 2004.

2. Great photos

But what's with the sour puss on Bloomberg?

Guess he doesn't like being upstaged.

4. I hope the good people of Staten Island

who have suffered terribly from Sandy, will rethink their staunch support for Republicans.
Maybe "I'm from the government and I am here to help." are not the worst words to hear.
Contrary to Saint Ronnie.
