I held my nose and voted for Zeldin in the end, and I know some progressive libdem folks who switched specifically for COVID-19 related reasons. Seeing how much worse Hochul did than Schumer and other statewide D’s it’s apparent that a lot of them switched but not enough.

I can’t say I’m especially surprised or disappointed. I didn’t trust Zeldin to care about principles on guns any more than he did on abortion. Really felt that a vote for him was a vote for a controlled elite opposition, but I’m still in New York and wasn’t prepared to give up my vote yet.

I’m more disappointed to see Shapiro win governor in PA, and in their senate shitshow with Fetterman vs Trump’s awful candidate Oz. Yes, it took a TV snake oil peddling Muslim who’s for transing kids with an antigun record to lose to a brain damaged woke exmayor who can’t understand or produce intelligible speech. Thanks Trump! Now go away.

On the plus side in Congress Molinaro won here though again he’s a Hudson Valley moderate who is weak on abortion and doesn’t stake out impressive positions on guns or immigration. But this is where we’re at.

I don’t trust any politician but Desantis is looking about as good as it gets on the national scene. JD Vance may be worth watching also.

Good observations sir. Agree with your last sentence, but if McConnell and McCarthy stay in leadership in Washington even DeSantis does not stand a chance nation wide.

Can someone explain this to him?

A poll watcher is not one of the inspectors who get paid to be there. A poll watcher watches the inspectors. Have full rights to be behind the desk and look at the books and take notes, even recording names of who votes. A list of names of those who do vote is a valuable tool.

The majority of voters in this state are just about as fucking stupid as they come. I guess thats what we should have expected after closing down all the mental institutions and allowing them to breed for the last two decades.

:rolleyes: Thank you for your detailed explanation of what a poll watcher does. Now explain to me what a pole watcher does.

He can do nothing about that in practical matter. That is a county or city fee. It cost me $20 to apply and $0.00 to renew/recertify.
A governor on their own can not change laws and likely the assembly and state senate will still be held by democrats so you should know what that means. With that being said he has voiced his support for us as gun owners and the 2a. How much of that is BS to win the election is to be seen if he wins.

Sure he could! He could declare an emergency and order the fees suspended statewide if he cared. After all his late-breaking ad said he could declare an emergency, suspend bail laws and put people in jail. I have no idea why he didn't win!

yeah I get it... hahaha I guess a polE watcher is a disc golfer who tries to nail the pole dead on each shot. Least that is what my 15 year old tells me to do when we go out and play. Had a nice round at Bond Lake the other day for an old man.


BTW my #3 daughter lives in Spencer NY that is Tioga County I believe no? Love that area of the state.

One could dream after this sad cycle that they would have a shake-up. That said Trump won the first time despite McCarthy and the turtle's leaderships (and one some say "won" the second time despite their continuing lack of support). And Trump, for all he did, was a deeply flawed candidate and president. One that was needed for the moment, despite his flaws, and was a breath of fresh air.

I'd rather not dox myself but yes, I agree, and I'm very familiar with that community.

Fox News was showing a 'voter analysis' on the side of the screen last night. I think it was possibly the most accurate polling/survey results you'll see. People basically want all the free shit and government safety net, but they don't like the consequences of those decisions.

NY is solid blue forever. Trump isn't going to be president again. PA, AZ and GA won't be a toss-up next time. The number of historically red districts will contract.

Get somewhere better and fight like hell to keep it that way.

Yeah, most people are. They want abortions but don't like people getting killed in the streets. Government handouts and bailouts for everything but inflation sucks. Gas is too expensive, but we must fight climate change. The president sucks, but I'm still pissed about the last one.

The GOP spinelessly tried pandering to the moderate and independent voters this time and it blew up in their fucking faces. They lost their base because they don't have any values. People need to decide what is important to them, grow a set of balls, and DON"T GIVE A FUCKING INCH!!!

The problem we are looking at now though, is the country shifted another degree off normal. It's not going back - this is the new centerline the pendulum is going to swing back and forth over. Unfortunately, they are going to keep chipping away. Every time it swings left, it's going to swing just a little further, and not come back as much to the right again.

Not sure how anyone had any hope for NY. It has been lost for a long time. Even if Zeldin won, what could he do with a democrat assembly and senate? I'm not interested in this slower death shit. People need to feel the pain they have caused themselves. Everybody that doesn't like it should cut their losses and GTFO, but wherever you go, you better actually fight to keep it this time.

This Public Service Rant was brought to you by WATER. You need it, and the government wants total control over it. Plan accordingly.

Some say it was much closer than it should have been and that Zeldin did well considering. After pondering on that and feeling good for a millisecond the reality then sets in that that is ZERO consolation.

Well if this is the best we can do then we’re in trouble. If it’s closer than it should have been we will never get any closer right?

Seven to the minutes ago, semi-victory lap...



Lee Zeldin
@leezeldin


We flipped 4 NY Congressional seats, broke the supermajority in the State Senate, and received the most votes of any GOP candidate since Nelson Rockefeller. Team Zeldin put in max effort every day and has no regrets. It was such an honor to lead this year’s ticket.
