	Politics of New York - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Politics of New York State tend to be more left-leaning than in most of the rest of the United States, with in recent decades a solid majority of Democratic voters, concentrated in New York City and its suburbs, and in the cities of Buffalo, Rochester and Albany.
		New York State gave small margins of victory to Democrats John F. Kennedy in 1960, Hubert Humphrey in 1968, Jimmy Carter in 1976 and Michael Dukakis in 1988, as well as Republicans Herbert Hoover in 1928, Thomas Dewey in 1948 and Ronald Reagan in 1980.
		Today, although New York is still the third largest prize in the U.S. Electoral College with 31 votes, it is usually considered an uncontested solid blue state and tends to be ignored by presidential candidates except for fundraising events and sometimes symbolism.

	New York - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The southern tip of New York State—New York City, its suburbs, and the southern portion of the Hudson Valley—can be considered to form the central core of a "megalopolis," a super-city stretching from the northern suburbs of Boston to the southern suburbs of Washington and therefore occasionally called "BosWash".
		New York was heavily glaciated in the ice age leaving much of the state with deep, fertile, though somewhat rocky soils.
		New York City is one of the most densely populated cities in the world, allowing it to facilitate one of the most extensive subway and bus systems in the world.

	Brewing Politics in New York (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The growth of microbreweries and brewpubs in New York State made the organization of a craft brewers' association an eventuality, but the small brewers got a rude shove in 1996 with the unexpected passage of a new State law, which began life as Senate Bill 5410-B/Assembly Bill 6458-C, also known as The Franchise Bill.
		It is important to note that in the New York State Senate, it is assumed that if a bill emerges from committee, it meets with the approval of the leadership, and thus is to be approved.
		The new president, Tim Herzog, noted that the first task of the new association will be "to make sure we never get caught behind the eight-ball again." This will require a greater political awareness on the part of the small brewers, and a united voice in Albany.

	Sicilian Culture: News: Italian American Ethnic Politics in New York
		New York Italian Americans both within and without New York City continue to be active political performers, as witnessed by the contemporary careers of Mario Cuomo, Geraldine Ferraro, Alfonse D’Amato and Rudolph Guiliani.
		With respect to political party affiliation, for most of this century most Italian Americans elected to the New York State Legislature were Democrats, a fact that underscored their proletarian orientation as well as their urban concentration.
		In part attributable to right-wing swing in politics on the part of an increasing number of ethnic groups in recent decades, it is also a concomitant of the movement into suburban areas of New York.
