The NY Times has a feature on the changing face of the city electorate, finding that "New immigrants accounted for at least one-third of the increase in the number of New York City voters since 2004, while the number of Irish, Italian and Jewish voters, who together represent the traditional core of the city’s political establishment, decreased slightly." Which suggests that strategies used to win certain City Council districts or other elected offices may not succeed during the 2009 election year.
