If you look at New York State specifically upstate and Long Island, the majority of voters are Republican. I agree that the Democrats have a big edge in a national election, but not citywide or statewide. NYC's version of the Republican party is different from the national version. It will be interesting to see what happens when the Republican National Convention comes here this summer.

NY is a Democratic state - always has been and always will be. It's because of the large immigrant population and history. The mayors you are talking about - well only one is really Republican.
