Nate On this week's political gabfest, John Dickerson made a claim that NY 23 is a liberal republican district. Being from this district, and having lived there for the better part of 20 years, I know that it is very socially conservative with regard to gun control, abortion rights, gay rights, and size of government. I a...m fairly certain that NY 23 is a conservative republican district more so than a liberal republican district.

This may be a case of where you stand depends on where you sit. I was making my claim based on the fact that Obama won the district and the previous Congressman John McHugh was considered a moderate.

The other night Laurence O'ddonell, said the 23 was going to be redistricted and go permanently Dem. controlled. Everyone seems to saying it's business as usual and the Rep. will come back. I wonder what is the truth? Oddonnel usually has his finger on things.
