The poll, as reported on this blog earlier this morning, found Obama leading McCain in New York by 58 percent to 36 percent.

New York is a battleground state only in the sense of which entity can win the battle to raise taxes and foul up the state even quicker. Is it Albany, or is it Westchester County government? On a large scale, it’s Albany. But Andy Spano’s gang in Westchester certainly deserves “per capita” dishonors.
