I've seen Avlon speak, and he comes across as bright, well informed about the issues.
On the flipside regarding NY-01 as being a Lean GOP district, Avlon's wife Margaret Hoover is the great-granddaughter of President Herbert Hoover. Hoover of course was a much different breed of Republican compared to where the GOP is today.
