Don, re: Hillary, I'm simply stating national polls I've read to come up with the 60% figure. As for her electibility in NY, I would suggest that she was elected because of the votes she recieved in Albany, Buffalo and NYC and not because of what she received in the rural areas. Those cities dominate the NY vote
When I transfered to "upstate" N.Y it was required of myself to send (via ups at the time) all of my guns (privatly owned) to a registered FFL dealer, and then the "State" after reviewing my "record" would notify me "when" I would be able to pick them up. This while I worked for the goverment!
This was before Hillary was elected.
This is only my opinion (sp?) and we know what they are like
N.Y State has been "ruined" by Albany and N.Y.C.
In civilian life the company I now work for asked me to transfer to Albany. I ran a "check" on local gun laws, and low and behold, some firearms I owned were not allowed in the Albany city limits. I told my company, thanks but no thanks.
I called all of my firends up in N.Y after Hillary was elected and "busted" on them how they could elect her (EVERYONE told me THEY didn't vote for her).
Talking to my cousin who lives in N.Y.C, she mentioned to me that Hillary didn't win the election, that the opposition lost it.
While living in N.Y, my thoughts were (for what it matters) was that N.Y.C controls the "state" of New York.
Democrats in the "urban" setting, Republicans in the "rural" areas.
If you get caught with a handgun "lose" in your vehicle in N.Y State, beware, your looking at a mandatory jail sentence. Gun laws are as bad as some New England States.
Point being is that I'm glad no longer live in N.Y State (and I don't miss the snow!).
Don't get me started on Vermont and what's going on up there! (I can't be all that wrong, my father in law has lived in Vermont all his life and we agree on almost everything, so I don't feel that I'm that "out of it").
Seems like a "role reversal".
More "liberals" up "North" and more conservatives (sp?) down "south".
New Hampshire, live free or die? Right!
Just seems funny at times (to me) where our country is going demographically (sp?) realted to "politics".
Ok, I'm getting off on the topic, apologies
As far as a woman as President? Miss Rice might actually have my vote
