McCain-Rice tops Obama-Clinton: NY

by Mark Silva

It’s time to take some tickets to market, and the folks at the Marist Poll have done just that in the Empire State, treasure trove of traditionally blue electoral votes and home of the senator from New York seeking the Democratic presidential nomination.

Try this, they suggest: A Republican ticket of Sen. John McCain and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. It plays pretty well in New York State against a ticket of Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama:

McCain-Rice: 49 percent.

Clinton-Obama: 46 percent.

Flipping the order of the Democratic “dream team’’ – which most Democrats acknowledge is a non-starter anyway – the Republican team still plays better in New York:

McCain-Rice: 49 percent.

Obama-Clinton: 44 percent.

In fact, that Clinton-Obama ticket plays better among women voters. And that McCain-Rice ticket looks stronger than, say, a McCain-Lieberman ticket – with the bipartisan pair of the senators from Arizona and Connecticut drawing only 40 percent of New York’s voters in a matchup with Clinton-Obama (53 percent) or an Obama-Clinton ticket (49 percent).

Fact is, however, all of the above may be dream-tickets in the minds of Grover Norquist (the Republican conservative pushing the Rice cause) and among Democrats (who, exactly, is pushing the Clinton-Obama team?) But the results are here for the viewing at Marist College’s poll: Download file

Some of the property you talked about is this:

A VERY expensive lodge....Built for William Avery Rockefeller…..Saranac Lake NY

None was more lavish or expressed more fully the collage of mountain charm and luxury sought by their owners than The Point. Painstakingly constructed on ten acres of peninsula stretching into Upper Saranac Lake, The Point was originally Camp Wonundra, the home of William Avery Rockefeller. There, in the heart of the vast Adirondack wilderness, he lived quietly and entertained in the gracious style of The Great Camp era. The Point combines that tradition of honoring guests with its unique combination of warm hospitality, grace and rustic elegance.
