Thanks for the insight. And while I mostly agree ... it's definitely a balancing act. Buffalo voted for a Socialist Mayor against an old time Pol. And Tish James the Cuomo Giant killer, is breathing down her (Hochul's) neck from Rochester to Syracuse, Albany and down the Hudson Valley where she is very popular. And, oddly, even St. Lawrence County in the North Country nearly voted fo Cynthia Nixon. Last but not least, an unknown Dana Balter nearly kicked John Katko's butt two elections ago, giving him a push to the center. I just think the open meetings thing is going to be.a ticking time-bomb for the new Gov. even with her switch on immigrants. One thing is certain ... it's going to be very, very, very interesting. Again, thanks for the insight and I LOVE reading your stuff!
