Honestly, mole. Aren't you getting just tad high and mighty with all that "as managing editor" and denigrating NYC stuff?"

Let me say this again. I LIVE IN UPSTATE NY. I LIVE IN THE 21ST DISTRICT. I've lived there for a long time. As such, I think that I have a better idea of what's important to people around here than folks from NYC.

Now, don't get me wrong, I really like NYC. I've been there many times. BUT...the cultural mindset of folks from NYC is different from upstate.

Let me give you a somewhat removed example. Folks who work in Albany are very attuned to every little nuance of actions taken by the Senate or the Executive or the Assembly. We can all read can read the tea leaves like it's nobody's business. But if I had a nickel for every person I talked to who didn't even know that there were two houses in the legislature (Assembly and Senate),I'd be rich! People just aren't as attuned to details like you are suggesting -- whether we're talking about Bouldin's post or a million other things.

Now it's unfortunate if your feathers have been ruffled by someone who didn't agree with you guys. But you're wrong about this one. The similar websites that Boulding has pointed out are of no consequence in the scheme of things as far as the 21 st district race goes.

p.s. I've lived all over the U.S. I've also worked in state government for a long time. Despite not being a managing editor of anything, I think that I knpw a little about politics too. As Tip O' Neill said: All politics is local. I'm as local as it gets.
