Maybe I'm not up to speed on things in Nassau County, but I don't see this as such a big win for the GOP because Suozzi wasn't your typical leftist anyway. I think a lot of Nassau County's problems are institutional in nature, not political.
Having said that, it's worth noting that the GOP was able to turn the tide in two key suburban counties (Nassau and Westchester) that have turned pretty "blue" in the last 15-20 years.

It was an anti-tax, anti-incumbant vote, combined with an absence of Obama coat-tails. All of this is a good omen for 2010 for the GOP.
What’s more, is that no one saw it coming. Should send a shiver up spine of all incumbants. Even guys who think they are safe may be gonners before they know it. Like a lot of Blue Dogs.

I’m from Nassau County and Suozzi is your typical NY Democrat. That’s pretty left.
Glad to see him go.
