"@Fasces - the NY state senate has historically been Republican, and the Assembly Democrat. Governors are split relatively even, leaning to the left a bit. But overall there isn't often a majority that controls the Assembly, Senate and Governorship. And in 2010(?) NY politics was a shitshow."
Given that I am not from New York I didn't know that. But given that they are one of the biggest blue states I assumed the state legislature would be blue as well.
"But he would by far be one of the best Presidents in modern history in terms of foreign policy, would completely re-work the tax code (sadly putting thousands of accountants out of work), regulate Wall Street, balance the deficit, steer us towards alternative energy, cut defense spending and give control of education back to the states. A true right-of-center candidate"
I disgree that he would regulate wall street, he said he was against subsidies for big banks and oil (which I agree), but that doesn't necessarily mean regulation.
On energy, he supports cap and trade which I use to support, but over the last 5 months I have started becoming one of the those 'right wing nut jobs' who doesn't believe in global warming.
