Jack Quinn (R) - 42
Tim Kennedy (D) - 39
William Stachowski (WF/IP-inc) - 12
It helps to have the same full name as a popular Republican ex-congressman from the area.
Stachowski's still on the WF line? Fail for Dems.
This one's headed for a GOP takeover.
Western NY (Erie/Niagara especially) arguably is the only part of Upstate NY that has trended Republican since 2000 at the state and Federal level. Lots of disenfranchised white working class/tea-party "I'M MAD AS HELL TOO, CARL" folks here. I won't be surprised to see Paladino at 60% in Erie and 66% in Niagara in the election, even if Cuomo landslides throughout the state.
