What is with this short-term memory problem? The Democrats considered holding their convention in New York, but, to the dismay of New Yorkers, chose not to. The Democrats were not willing to bring a single dime of business to the city. Initially, Republicans had not intended to be in NY, but eventually decided that the city needed the business.
As WillowIX implied, if the Democrats thought they could get any advantage out of being in NY, of course they would have been there. But they decided they could get more mileage out of knocking Republicans than doing anything themselves.
That is the irritating part about the Democrats -- they have lost their vision. They no longer propose jack. They have noting to offer, so to cover that up, they attack Republicans, hoping people will not notice. And thanks to the public schools, most people don't have the reasoning skills to notice that the Democrats have not given a single reason to vote for them...

Well, I don't personally agree with this. Being someone that lives in NY and has my whole life, it's our Republican govenor that is currently killing our future by making drastic cuts to our Health Care, Education System, Public Assistance, and Libraries. However, I don't lump all Repubs into that category, nor do I lump all Dems into a "good" category. I don't vote party line personally, but instead judge each candidate by their own merits rather then by what party they belong to.
And if you want to talk about "milking" 9/11, Pataki came out with ads thanking NY's for helping to get through 9/11 conviently starting 2 months before the election (a year AFTER 9/11). Golisano (from where I live) was no better in his campaigning, even though he was running as an Independent. My point, I don't think it matters what party someone's a part of, if they're a good guy, they're a good guy and if they're slime, they're slime.
JMHO.
