The people in NYC think just like the Times' editors, so why would they stop buying the paper? It isn't any accident that Hitlery and upChuckie are the Senators from NY. They were voted in by the majority of the voters because they accurately reflect the views of the majority of the voters there.

Not so fast. HILLARY! is senator because Rudy Giuliani came down with prostate cancer. Giuliani also bears some of the blame, because he waited until it was too late for anyone else to have a chance in the election, before bowing out. He created a monster. (The NY media, of course, did everything they could for her. After some preliminary tough talk about her possibly wilting under the glare of the hardnall media, they turned every campaign stop into a love-in. But that was to be expected. Giuliani won the NY mayoralty twice - three times, if you subtract the Dead Dems for Dinkins votes in '89 - in the teeth of a hostile media.)
And lest I forget, after a quick start, Rick Lazio threw in the towel, against HILLARY! He had to campaign his butt off upstate, if he was to have any chance, but instead, he only showed up in his Long Island stronghold. HILLARY! outworked Lazio upstate, and people remembered that, come Election Day.
The NY State GOP also deserves no bouquests thrown its way. There's a young fellow named Benjamin who raised oodles of money for the party, and who wants to challenge Schumer. The kid has no name recognition, but is upbeat, has endless energy, and is willing to go on a political kamikaze mission. He's crisscrossed the state, going places where party celebrities can't be bothered to show up. If the party had any decency or political savvy (they're not always mutually exclusive), it would back him. It has nothing to lose, and a hungry kid like Benjamin could give Schumer some black eyes, expose him as vulnerable, and set him up to lose next time around, while developing its own new talent in time-tested fashion. But those fat cats just can't be bothered. And so, I might not be bothered to vote GOP next election, either (that is, unless Benjamin is on the ballot).
