Growing up, I knew of him as a desperate for attention blowhard as well. You didn't need to be from NYC to know that but it says a lot when you guys did that (no votes) because you know him best.

    There's an old political term in the USA. 'Favorite son candidate.' It means that anyone, of any Party, can usually count on winning their home district. As an example, Republicans in Georgia voted for Jimmy Carter. Also, New Yorkers are a contentious lot who seldom agree 90% on anything.
