Obama is still at 57% here according to this poll... even Paterson is at a healthy 43% (well, healthy by his standards). Republicans are as doomed as ever in the Empire State. It's a shame that the rest of the country isn't following our lead. 
Wow I can't believe you even had the audacity to type that. Follow New York's lead of absolute mismanagement of state government? A budget in shambles? Sleezy politicians one after another? Yeah, let's follow moronic New York's example. The fact that it is the location of key financial centers that will never move is all that keeps NY afloat.
Did you ever consider that not all people share your views on politics?
New York's fiscal nightmare is not a "political view" of mine, it's a fact.
And no, not all states are in the dire straits of New York, Illinois, California.
Many states are doing just fine.
As for the sleezy politicians I refer to Eliot Spitzer and David Patterson, both of whom were absolute disasters. They were flagrantly out of it. I can't stand Martin O'Malley and couldn't disagree with him more on policy, but he is not corrupt.
