   If John McCain is holding his own in the bluest of
   blue states you can imagine how he will do in the rest
   of the nation

   You’re right, Consultant. Only it was not
   reported this way on Cable News. It was
   reported as Oh, wow, Hillary has a 7 point lead
   in New York! That’s like saying rain is wet.

   The news is that her lead is only 7 points,
   not that she has a lead.

   Fine observation, Mr. Edwards. If the mainstream media weren’t so biased, the headlines would read, “McCain Closing in on Dem Strongholds” or the like.

   This is all good news for both Nick Spano and the 35th district. Do nothing cousins needs to go!

   This is actually good for any Republican candidate running for office in New York this year.
