1. Please let that hold!

She has to win

2. I'm feeling cautiously optimistic here

She's only running a few points behind Schumer, who was easily re-elected. That said, Zeldin is expected to do better than most Republicans here on Long Island, his home base, and Nassau and Suffolk have barely started reporting.

I am feeling less confident than I was about my district, NY-03, after looking at the NYT estimates.

5. I think it'll be a bit closer than the last few elections but she'll

win with a comfortable margin. Turnout in my Brooklyn district was definitely higher than past midterm elections, and Hochul needs NYC to turn out as that’s where the Democrats are. But even if NYC turnout isn’t as high as before, she might make it up by over performing upstate where she’s from to make it up.

3. If, as has been the case on exit polls, crime was a minima factor, them hopefully this bodes well

for Hochul. Heavens. If the damned R gets it, he'd surely pardon Trump, Bannon and all the other MAGAT corrupt SOBs.

4. As much as we worry about the Senate and House

It’s state and local races that have the greatest impact on our lives.

[NYC Liberal]

7. Amen. I tell people I'd rather they vote in those races than for president.

States like CA and NY have passed so much of the progressive legislation that we’re still fighting tooth and nail to get passed federally, because we’ve elected Democrats in our local races.

6. Sure Hope she hangs on to the lead
