Not really much of suprise.
I used to live in the Upper Catksills and Dems are in extremely rare supply there and north and west of there. The tri-city area of Albany, Schenectady and Troy is a strong enclave of Republicanism. Unless you relocate about a GAZILLION Dems to the region it's going to be mighty difficult to begin to make a change in that regional political arena. Dems are simply outnumbered and that is not going to change quickly.
