Quite frankly I wasn't really paying attention back then and don't
remember who I voted for in the primaries. I think Hill but couldn't
swear to it.

In my county, Ulster, it was within 3 percent. I now see more Bernie signs in Ulster than others. As a matter of fact, I have only seen ONE Clinton yard sign in all of Ulster county.
Today, I drove home from Watkins Glen, to around Kingston, NY. I took the long way, going through Schuyler, Tompkins, Tioga, Broome, Chenago, Deleware and Ulster Counties. Along the way, I counted 15 Bernie signs, 4 Clinton signs, 4 Cruz signs, and one Drumpf sign. The largest sign I saw was as I was driving into Ithaca. There were 2 YUUUUGE Bernie signs in someone's yard!!
I even saw a couple of home made Bernie yard signs!
I believe that Bernie shall win NY.

For one thing, it took place on February 5 (super Tuesday), before people got a chance to get to know Obama.

Thanks for your post, it's very nice to hear that there is support and excitement up-state! I have been sensing a lot of enthusiasm here in NYC, not just YUUUGE rallies, but also real enthusiasm on the street! Basically in New York, if you can do up-state and you can do the City, you are very hard to beat! It could be a very interesting night this Tuesday!
