When the debate commission announced that this year’s town-hall debate—in which questioners would be selected from among undecided voters in the surrounding region—would be held in Long Island, NY, rather than in a swing state, it raised a few eyebrows. Undecided voters in Nassau County generally aren’t like undecided voters in Ohio or Virginia. They tend to be people who start from a liberal foundation but may be a little too populist to be comfortably Democratic voters these days, and so in some respects a kind of mirror image of what we normally think of as swing voters.
Jesus Fuck, you'd never get a full-bore right wing loon elected from them New Yorky precincts!
Nassau can be every bit as pig-ignorant asshole racist as Mississippi, or (shudder) Staten Island.
