Thread Name: NY. Election sign dichotomy.Any thoughts
Subject: NY. Election sign dichotomy.Any thoughts
During our sojurn in New England last week, Heather and I drove through many towns in New York State. (half of them 'cause we got lost)

We were remarking on how completely one-sided the election for Senator must be going, considering we saw (probably) well over a thousand Rick Lazio (republican) signs and 2(both defaced!) Hillary Clinton ones. Being (politically) a nosey sort at times, I asked a few people along the way their impressions about the up-coming election, and was a bit surprised at how vehemently anti-Hillary they were.

Today I hear on the radio that all the polls have her winning in a landslide! Something sounds fishy here. I know that conservatives might think that the polls are trying to affect the outcome, but even the right-wing surveys seem to agree that she's a lock. Are ALL her votes coming from New York City (where we weren't)?

Not a very profound thread, I admit...plus being Canadian, I ain't votin (in the U.S.) but I'm curious if anyone has any feedback.
