A McCain Outpost in Blue Park Slope
Hey, don’t assume that Park Slope will go blue on November 4th. Four brownstones on 11th Street are adorned with McCain signs (though residents had to travel to New Jersey to get them). Writes the NY Times, “The election district that includes 11th Street has 643 registered voters: 51 of them Republicans, 452 Democrats, 23…
Hey, don’t assume that Park Slope will go blue on November 4th. Four brownstones on 11th Street are adorned with McCain signs (though residents had to travel to New Jersey to get them). Writes the NY Times, “The election district that includes 11th Street has 643 registered voters: 51 of them Republicans, 452 Democrats, 23 in other parties and 117 who did not list a party. That breakdown is echoed by the overwhelmingly Democratic makeup of Assembly District 52, as well as that of Brooklyn, which voted 79 percent for Senator John Kerry in 2004.” The McCain supporters are old school Slopers, writes the Times: residents from long before the Manhattan exodus who say the block was full of Roman Catholics and firemen when they arrived. But donkeys and elephants alike seem to be getting along: old and new, Obama and McCain-lovers. As one Democratic neighbor said about his neighbor’s signs, “To me, that says the person’s possibly open to some dialogue.

Meatball marinara on honey oat at Subway, by the way. Thanks for asking.

“Biff, you’re being outrageously inflammatory and provocative. You’re reflective of what’s wrong with politics and this blog I’ll choose to ignore you.”

“oh ok, Since you live in Bedstuy I assume you make 50k a year. Giving the guy a reach around cause you met doesn’t mean he’s not a douche.”
moreteasir, that’s now six comments you’ve posted since choosing to ignore me. You really should do something about this little obsession you have. You just can’t stay away.
moreteasir…I was waiting for that. I would have bought something for $2-3 million elsewhere but I already have three other homes in MA and PA plus a 1,500 sq. ft. shop for my car collection. I pioneered in neighborhoods throughout my life in Chicago and enjoy doing it again after a very boring, but very profitable 10 years in a condo on the UES.
Besides, no one making $50k a year can afford a Bed Stuy property, unfortunately. Your grasp of economic reality really seems to be slipping.

There will be an election in 2009.
C’mon dude…
ENY…the election will be in 2009.
oh ok, Since you live in Bedstuy I assume you make 50k a year. Giving the guy a reach around cause you met doesn’t mean he’s not a douche.
Wow…very dense ENY. Tell me you don’t really think that this council referendum will extend Bloomberg’s term in office without an election. Please tell me you don’t believe that.
