New York Red Wave is coming ashore 

A friend writes to say that his wife and some of her staunchly D female friends, all pro-choice suburbanites, are voting for Republican Lee Zeldin for governor. 

A former colleague working in real estate volunteers that he s backing Zeldin because this isn t the Democratic Party I signed up for.  

Another Dem, a former top New York official, writes: For the first time in my life, I just voted the straight Republican ticket for New York state. The Democratic Party has lost touch with the people they are supposed to represent.  

These are the voices of a potential earthquake. 

One by one and in small groups, formerly loyal Dems are coming to the conclusion that the party they were proud to belong to no longer shares their interests and values.
