(3,839 posts)Counties in the district:
Columbia - Sparsely populated, evenly matched.
Delaware - Even less populate, very Republican
Greene - Less than Columbia, more than Delaware, VERY Republican
Otsego - Sparsely populated, evenly matched (needs to carry Oneonta and Cooperstown to win)
Schoharie - Barely anyone, very Republican
Sullivan - Medium size (my home county. . .lived a mile from Woodstock), reliably Democratic
Ulster - Home of SUNY New Paltz, Large Population, reliably Democratic
parts of:
Broome - Mostly trees, this part of the county is Republican
Dutchess - Most of the county, high population, reliably Republican
Montgomery - Sparsely populated, Western half of the county, very Republican
Rensselaer - All of the county except the Democratic stronghold of Troy, VERY Republican
Democrats need to come out in force in Ulster, Sullivan and Otsego. Even then, Teachout has a massive uphill battle to win this seat. Dutchess will go Republican 2-1 and the smaller counties will go Republican 3-1. She needs to win the three other counties 2-1 in order to win this district in a squeaker.
I have many friends here.
