Enrollment Ennui
-
- November
- 27
The joke is on me…sort of.
It turns out that my charitable switch to the hapless Republican Party (see Nov. 15 column) won’t be official until after the next election, according to state law. That’s because I waited until after this year’s election to make the party switch.
Which means, alas, I won’t have the opportunity to vote in the GOP primary. I only did it to help, fellas. The Westchester County Republicans are losing members faster than the plunging Dow.
Also, Milt Hoffman, the emeritus Journal News politics hound, has informed me that it’s worse than I even thought. He reports that the latest Nov. 6, 2007 enrollment figures show that there are 268,985 Democrats and 166,048 Republicans, a differential of 103,000.

Didn’t a couple few pols switch parties AFTER they were elected? At least you TRIED to do things above board.
