SI has more in common with LI and certain upstate NY communities than the other 4 boroughs. It was glaring to see SI in the breakdown of how each borough voted.

SI was the only one that voted mostly for McCain.
I noticed that the counties of Long Island, both Nassau and Suffolk counties ended up voting democratic and so did Westchester County. Staten Island was the only one who voted for McCain (even though it was by a very small margin McCain 52% and Obama 47%
For the most part: Manhattan and The Bronx are Dem strongholds. Brooklyn and Queens are usually slplit down the middle (especially during city election) Staten Island is a GOP stronghold. It has been this way for a long time. The fact that Obama did pretty well in SI, showed what kind of night he had.
Well let's put it this way, SI might be many things, but progressive it is not...
So we have one fella saying people in Staten Island are Italians who are racists since they didn't vote for Obama. Then comes along another fella saying that people in Staten Island aren't "progressive."
As a McCain suppoter myself and a moderate I sure hope the president-elect's statement last night of all-inclusiveness in the process is the one to go by and not the rants of a couple of supporters referenced above.
