Last week’s 48th SD win by Democratic Sen. Darrel Aubertine, a pro-life, anti-gay marriage moderate, is the most recent example. Republicans are now losing to Democratics in upstate New York by running as Social Conservatives. NY GOP deserves to lose its Senate.

One of the reasons the Republicans lost for years now (And recent lost in the 48th) is because voters & grass roots have lost faith in NY GOP Party. NY GOP have abandoned issues of Less Taxes & Spending and many, many of the Social & 2A issues! Thus, many, many of the supporters in the GOP Counties have walked away. Many GOP voters continue to pay higher school taxes & property taxes...all this while oil prices affecting those in upstate. And so, I doubt that anyone they hire (Luntz) will give the serious time needed to travel across this State and conduct the one on one interviews that are required to succeed.

The NY GOP still does not get it.

start with changing the messenger..as long as Joe Bruno is
under federal investigation he has no business being’the
lead dog for what republicans stnad for..He has been
there long enough and it is time to turn the leadership
over to the next generation…then maybe the message
can change and be credible at the same time

Maybe it's because he's figured out a way to compete in personal finance with Shelly Silver, and it's becoming more and more transparent. Maybe it's also because, under his leadership, the Republicans have begun to tax and spend even more than the Democrats. Blame it on the war, Joe, but don't expect me to buy it.
