Who would have ever though the Town Of Shawangunk would be the Florida for the U.C.
Comptroller Race?
Well, It has come down to 5 Dist's. within the town.
I have to be honest here. At this time next week, I hope I am eating crow.
Shawangunk is one of the most Republican Town's in all of Ulster County. When you go to
Wallkill it is kind of going back to 1965. One of the bedrocks of the community is the Dutch
Reformed Church right in the center of town. Lots of old world German's and Dutch... And they
tend to vote the party line.
The McCain-Palin Ticket won the town 2-1. And Tom Kirwin [who was right next to Auerbach
on the ballot] also had a easy win here. The machine vote had Jim Quigley the 3rd with a 6,000
vote lead on election night.
One would assume where I am going here. If it comes out the way I think, I am sure Jim the 3rd
will buy a heck of a lot of tickets for the church dinner next fall.
But, It ain't over till it's over.
