2009 Nassau County Election

[Mr.Phips]

It looks like Suozzi will squeak it out. 

[Mr.Phips]

How Democratic do absentees usually lean in Nassau?

[Mr.Phips]

clearly mangano has hired frankens vote finders cause there doing just as good of job at stealing this clear cut victory from its rightful hands.

On a serious note it sucks that such a depressed turnout will oust a good guy like souzzi i was hoping he would have a bright future in the 3rd district of new york congressional representation.

If anything this might increase his chances of taking on King.  He had statewide ambitions and was thrown around as a likely candidate for AG if Cuomo were to run for Gov. (which is likely), now his statewide chances like took a bit of a hit, and Nassau DA Kathleen Rice likely has much more of a chance at getting the AG nod than Suozzi.  I still think his chances at running against king are very slim, but likely a little better now with the AG slot becoming much less likely.

Don't know why he want to possibly commit career suicide by going after King if he does in fact lose this election.  Might possibly blow up his career permanently.  Of course, that might end up happening also were he to run for statewide office and lose again.

Of course, he has tried to commit career suicide before, so who knows.

Where else would he go?  Its not like he has anything to lose. 

[Mr.Phips]

Is anyone glad Susie is losing?

Silly question.  

Yeah, Republicans like me who'd love to see the NY Democratic Party's next great hope go down in flames.  

If Suozzi loses, Republicans will control the County Execs in Nassau, Westchester, Rockland, Putnam and Orange Counties, and endorsed the mayor of NYC.  A Republican would head the executive branch of every New York county/NYC government in the Greater NYC area save Suffolk County.  (No, borough president figureheads don't count).  Quite a feat for a party that's been left for dead in the Northeast.  That the loss was unexpected is icing on the cake.

Do you really expect that everyone on this website idolizes Democrats?

All of those except for Nassau and Westchester have already long been in Republican hands.
