33 in New York is a lot, but that may not fully counteract losses in Louisiana (9), Mississippi (6), North Carolina (11), South Carolina (8), Florida (27), etc.
They wouldn't lose the whole South BUT they may lose enough to cancel out the gains there and in New Jersey or Pennsylvania.
But if they don't for Rudy- who do they vote for?
The Democrat who will probably be pro everything else that Rudy is?
I think the 9/11 factor would put Rudy over the top
