I'm not "bashing" New York.

Are you really going to sit there and say that "New York Republican" doesn't have a specific cachet?

Well we should hear from more of them - I am pinging them as we speak! I know I am not like that!

I'm from NYC (now living in the suburbs) and I'm a Republican and have always voted Republican.

In fact, I can remember the day JFK won the Presidential election and my Irish Catholic mother cried her heart out in misery over it.

We've got an awful lot to do to woo people to the party here, but we've got to keep upbeat and optimistic.
