Conventional wisdom is NY 21 is GOP leaning and that's generally true, but what of the pockets of resistance in the GOP to Anthony Constantino ?
Start with former primary foe Robert Smullen, who is said to be working veterans groups on behalf of Blake Gendebien. Then there are local GOP committees in Clinton and Essex Counties said to be working against their party's nominee...In fact we hear State Senator Dan Stec was not allowed at a Clinton County GOP dinner due to he his support of the Mule after the primary.
There are the remnants of members who sank Doug Hoffman in 2009 and other mild Republicans like former Ogdensburg Mayor Bill Nelson who is actively supporting Mr. Gendebien.
Lack of hegemony in the GOP is problematic as Democrats stick together no matter what...and the national mood is toxic for the GOP....And don't forget the top of the ticket in NY is a big drag on down ballot contenders.
I think there's still enough juice in the layout of the district for Constantino to win but nobody thinks it will be a cakewalk....
One caveat to those in the GOP who say, let him go down and we will take the seat back in two years....It doesn't work that way...There is no one with the cash to compete and by 2028 a Rep. Gendebien will be laden with cash and tough to beat.

This old school Republican would never vote for someone like Constantino. Not even if he paid me $28,000.
I’m sure it also helps out that WATN picks individuals in most races and promotes them
Then you’re not a Republican. Nothing says old-school Republican like finding a reason not to vote for a Republican. Interesting.
Here is $28000 for someone I do not even know. Oh no really it’s not a bribe to say something about my opponent. Really no it’s just money for them because k like them. What a scum bag piece of shit Toni the phony is. Lying rotten scum bag. Cannot win on ideas, plans, vision, nothing. Just buy an election with $20 million. And bribes. He learned from orange crazy bastard well.
This year Hochul and Albany democrats took $4,000,000,000 from counties and gave it to Mamdani’s commie NYC budget.
Now our county budgets skyrocket and our county executive blames Washington. ( Fire him!!!)
Nationally the mood is toxic for democrats due to stunts even worse than that.
Not even 8 a.m. and the TDS is already in full bloom. Some people need coffee to wake up; others just need to check whether Trump is still living rent-free in their heads.
Especially in this year's congressional elections you are voting more for the party than the person. If you favor Hakeem Jeffries running the house and advancing his agenda, go for it. Or, if the Dems can tolerate outright socialists in their midst for the sake of power, maybe you hold your nose and do what's right for your party and your country.
No one should feel obligated as if you have to vote for the MAGA RINO Constantino.
