This is part of the Newt bounce. That idiot cost us NY26 and has now put the GOP on the defensive around the Ryan budget. The GOP needs to regroup and come up with a clear message or this is going to be a trend and not a bump.
NY 26 was lost because a) a Democrat fraudulently posing as a Tea Party endorsed candidate siphoned off 8 - 9 percent of the Republican vote, and b) Corwin was a weak candidate.
Corwin was unable to articulate that the Ryan Plan would have no effect on seniors who currently receive Medicare benefits.
Hochul was essentially defending Obamacare which strips $500 billion OUT of Medicare and destroys Medicare Advantage and got away with it.
