Somehow Hochul seems to be getting a walk to the Democratic Nomination for Governor. Since she was never elected Governor in the first place this seems a bit strange. But given that she wasn't elected to the office, one would think she would be vulnerable in the upcoming election.
Is there anyone the Republican can nominate who can beat here in the general election? A woman might be particularly good, since women will probably want to vote for a woman. Could Malliotakis pull it off?
I know Andrew Giuliani is taking about running. But his name doesn't have the attraction it once had, and he has no real credentials on his own.
Nnnnnnnnope.
None of them have a shot. Republicans should quit wasting time in state wide elections.
That stupid island on the Hudson River controls the entire state.

If the right candidate comes along, perhaps. It has happened before and not that long ago. Even if they won, there still is a lot of structural aspects that should change, regardless of the party the person in charge is in.
The Democrats have the state locked in (unfortunately). The legislature, governor's office. and town politics are all liberal leaning. Many upstate (those that haven't moved out) are conservative and tried to vote out Cuomo in last election, unfortunately the $$$ and liberals of NYC won out.

Is the bolded true? I ask, because there are many towns that aren't across the state, whether moderate or "conservative".

Depends. Upstate, not so much. The region as a whole is overwhelmingly conservative.
But, the population is barely a blip compared to the metro area/Dong Island.
The numbers just aren’t there for a Republican Governor. That small cesspool of a region controls the vote. That’s where the population is. No shot in hell we unseat Hochul.

The bolded depends as well. I say that given that most of the population is in the bigger areas are moderate, with slight leanings one way or another.
It is tough to say that it will never happen, because the state had a Republican governor as recent as 2006. So, it has been done before. For those that don't know: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Pataki

Different times. George was a fluke. I was shocked he won.
We will have a full term of Kate Hochul. That is a given.
None of the Republican candidates are enticing enough to win over anyone outside the base.

We'll see, as you never know how people will vote.
