We shouldn't count our chickens before they hatch, but man would this be SWEET revenge for NY-26 when the Dems were gloating about how they won Chris Lee's "Republican district".

I wonder if Turner's campaign has the ablity to have volunteers do phone-banking by proxy? Sounds like a worthy project for freepers to get involved in if that's possible. I did phone banking for Pat Toomey's 2004 campaign against Arlen Specter using my cell phone in Illinois.

Oh, and if there's any liberals lurking on FR, I hear the Democrat nominee is NOT progressive enough. You should support Socialist Worker's Party nominee Chris Hoeppner instead. Hee hee hee... ;-)

This would be a HUGE win for the GOP.

Thanks for the ping.

The beauty part is that all the pundits will characterize the Dem election loss as a blow against Obama.

A Republican victory here would be amazing. I expect that Turner would face another incumbent in 2012 if he wins, with an upstate Democrat (probably ultra-leftist Maurice Hinchley) also getting the ax in redistricting.

According to one of the polls, three percent of likely voters are supporting the SWP candidate.
