The question is: If the subway driver knew who was being pushed in front of him... would he even bother to brake?

Swoop, you are gazing upon the most disliked woman in all of American (if not world) politics. Rudy needed to push harder, perhaps wrap a leg in front of her shin...

Swoop.....she was elected to a Senate seat in New York. She is hated by conservatives. She was also rated as one of the top attorneys in the country prior to Bill's election (not female attornys...attorneys period). Some thought she may have been the brains in the family. I think she has had some of the sins of her husband dropped upon her. As with most other "black and white" issues in these boards...she is neither as bad nor as good as people say. It is just hip for conservatives to hate anything Clinton.

Hillary is so beloved.

Here's a county map of New York; Hillary won the counties in BLUE. Lazio took the ones in red.

"Clinton won in and around the heavily Democratic cities of New York, Albany, Buffalo, and Syracuse, and virtually nowhere else. She won only 15 of 62 counties, in stark contrast to Bill Clinton's 51 counties in 1996, and barely more than half of Gore's 27 counties. Excluding the counties containing the ten largest cities, she won 6 of 50 counties. The map below paints a striking picture."

Selected Statistics for Counties Won Clinton Lazio

Number: Clinton 15 Lazio 47

Area: Clinton 9902 sq. mi. Lazio 37,322 sq. mi.

Violent crime rate: Clinton 9.3 per 1000 Lazio 2.4 per 1000

Households receiving public assistance: Clinton 12.8% Lazio 5.9%

Teenage pregnancy rate: Clinton 11.3% Lazio 5.5%

This is hearsay and may be wrong, someone correct me if I am. Hillary is much disliked in her home state of New York because of a comment she made about 4 NY Police Officers that killed a citizen and were subsequently accused of wrongful death in this case. Hillary called them murderers. They were later acquitted of any wrong doing. Now she is booed almost everywhere she goes.

Luckily our democracy is based upon people and not land mass. The logic here I guess is that all elected officials should come from Alaska? Then you could quote the crime rate stats for Nome in winter....that would really be good!

Where is that "number of votes received" stat?

Target's right, Toad. Politicians ostensibly represent people, not acreage. It's an election, not a war.
