re: NY-23 House Race (merger)
that appears way to high...I am sorry as much as I like Hoffman and want him to romp...thats an outlier...BUT I have researched PPP and they appear to have been amoong the top 2 most accurate pollsters in swing state polling in the last 2 midterms and special Elections ..but 15? Wow…
here is the running score from real clear which baskets the polls on a rolling average from several different pollsters...the good news is Sienna, looks like they have played it fair down the middle and provided polls showing at some point in time each candidate having a lead, so it appears to me they are honest, and they now have Hoffman up by a solid 5%. Siena 11/1 - 11/1 606 LV 41 36 6 Hoffman +5 PPP (D) 10/31 - 11/1 1747 LV 51 34 13 Hoffman +17 Siena 10/27 - 10/29 700 LV 35 36 20 Owens +1 Daily Kos/R2000 10/26 - 10/28 600 LV 32 33 21 Owens +1 Minuteman/Neighborhood (R) 10/25 - 10/26 366 LV 34 29 14 Hoffman +5 CFG/Basswood Research (R) 10/24 - 10/25 300 LV 31 27 20 Hoffman +4 Daily Kos/R2000 10/19 - 10/21 600 LV 23 35 30 Owens +5 Siena 10/11 - 10/13 617 LV 23 33 29 Owens +4 Siena 9/27 - 9/29 622 LV 16 28 35 Scozzafava +7 CFG/Basswood Research (R) 9/17 - 9/17 300 LV 17 17 20 Scozzafava +3 McLaughlin (R) 8/25 - 8/26 300 LV 16 17 26 Scozzafava +9 http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epo...tion-1119.html

Re: Republican Scozzafava quits race NY:23
I hope the GOP takes note of what is happening there. If they don't, they may be in for a lot more of this in 2010/2012.

Re: Republican Scozzafava quits race NY:23
The GOP in NY has long tried to be the Democrat Lite Party in order to attract actual liberals, instead of providing real alternatives to the disastrous liberal polices and turning liberals into conservatives.

Re: Republican Scozzafava quits race NY:23
If the people in NY's 23 feel duty bound to send a message to the current administration, that's their right, but I think they're making a mistake if they elect the Conservative candidate. Not because he's conservative, but because they're basically giving up their right to representation to "prove a point". That's great and all, but once everything settles down and NY's 23 is no longer in the news, who's going to give a crap about them then? Certainly not the Conservative candidate who doesn't give a crap about them right now.

Re: Republican Scozzafava quits race NY:23
That's what a Congressional Representative is for, local representation. Like I said, if that's what they want to do, fine, but I personally think that's stupid. I'm going to vote for the guy who I feel will best represent me when he goes to Washington and not lose a second of sleep over it, as everyone else has the right to. If you're more concerned about ideology, more power to you, but don't be upset when things don't work out quite the way you expected.

Re: Republican Scozzafava quits race NY:23
They may be all they want, but I would at least want one who's familiar with the basics of the district, not one who's just using my district as a launching pad for ideological war.

Granted Albany is just as much a problem as Washington, but Scozzafava is party to that debacle, a fact glossed over by the national press.

Cut them lose. In fact, any county/metro area with more than a million people gets district "DC Status", on Rep with voting power equal to population percentage against the nation, and one Senator.
