From Real Clear Politics<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“… Gallup’s generic polling<\/a> shows the number of voters saying that they would vote for Republicans rising three points from last week, while the number saying they will vote for Democrats dropped four points.\u00a0 The 49%-43% lead for the Republicans is the largest that the pollster has ever recorded for the party.\u00a0 Moreover, Democratic enthusiasm for voting this fall fell a point, while enthusiasm among Republicans stayed about fifteen points higher.\u00a0 This indicates an even wider lead for Republicans once Gallup imposes a likely voter screen this fall …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Instead of taking advantage of this, what do we get from the NY GOP<\/a>? \u00a0Rick Lazio<\/a>. \u00a0According to every poll I’ve seen<\/a>, Andrew Cuomo<\/a> will squash him like a bug<\/a>. \u00a0Why? \u00a0It’s not because people are in love with Cuomo. \u00a0I like this observation from Bob Fois<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“… why has the New York Republican establishment looked at the best opportunity to win in 15 or 30 years and seemingly squandered it? \u00a0Too much subtracting their opponents, not enough addition of their own candidates …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Right. \u00a0Where are the Republicans reaching out to the people? \u00a0They’re definitely not trying for the gun vote. \u00a0I don’t even see them looking to registered Republicans for support. \u00a0It’s all the backroom boys pulling strings.<\/p>\n
