Don't read the comments section, it is populated by troglodytes...

You can vote for him, I can't (NY-23)
Do you know how much money-bomb love came from the Sanders endorsement? Would more money help?

I have no idea
All I ever see are commercials for Deacon and Williams. All about how they want to help Social Security and get rid of foreign trade deals. Didn't they get the memo from Obama about being all in on TPP?

Damn, us academics seem to suck at politicking.
Ivory Towers, indeed.

When I lived in NY 24
To win a Dem primary you had to run to the right of Jesse Helms, especially on civil rights. No one voted Republican because Republicans were "n***er lovers" (Nelson Rockefeller invented identity politics)
On to Biden since 1973
It's just the opposite now
Dan Maffei was elected twice, but only because of Obama voters. His second loss was by the largest margin of any incumbent in 2014. The city of Syracuse stays home during the midterms...will they show up for Hillary? Katko was a Federal prosecutor. He specialized in putting black gang members in prison using the RICO act. White suburban voters love him.
