Fantastic! Just fantastic!
Another thought...NY loses 2 CDs..and since control of the legislature is split..it’s usually one DEM district, and one GOP distict that is euthanized..everyone thought that this would be one of those killed..so whoever won would be a one-term-wonder...that’s why the young GOP councilman passed on the chance to run for the seat. NY has lost population..mostly upstate..this area in NYC is growing..maybe they should rethink strategy and keep it..it’s be like Ft. Apache....one littel RED district in a sea of blue...when this Republican gets to the house..he’s gonna be treated like a rock star...
I’ll believe it when the vote is official.
I'll bet, if the pubbie does win, that it's just a vote against the Mussie in chief for him back stabbing Israel...nothing more. Next time a ‘Rat runs they will take the seat...so I say let it go.
Won’t happen. This is NY......the deciding last minute votes can always be dug up for Dems! The guy will probably get Franken’d....
Can you imagine the shock-waves this would send through D.C. if Anthony Weenie’s seat went to a Pubbie?
Come on, Chicago is #1 in nastiness. We have been slacking off of late though, no shootings.
This is good news, but, watch the money come in and Union thugs be out if full force, before Tuesday. OUR BEST HOPE IS FOR A HELLACIOUS RAIN STORM ON ELECTION DAY AND THE UNMOTIVATED DEMS STAY HOME!!!
In that neck of the woods, elections are won by the dems with huge election frauds.
The liberals’ pollstrs PPP hve a poll coming out with similar numbers judging from their teaser tweets:

If David Weprin wins this race, he’s going to win it in the final 5 days.

My pretty straight forward take on the first night of our NY-9 poll: Dems in BIG trouble. It deserves the caps.

The district is very conservative..lots of eastern European Orthodox Jews..who know first hand the evils of socialism....they’re also opposed to the pro-gay marriage position of the Dems...I think the district could be kept Pubbie....we shall see...nice to have another option...
What’s the race in Nevada about?
LOL!
That's not a very meaningful thing to say, since districts have been changed geographically every ten years with redistricting, and since urban ethnic geographic distribution patterns changed markedly over the years. The county of Queens as a whole, for instance, was mostly Republican and mostly small-town with even some rural areas until after WWII.
As for the current Turner-Weprin race, something very unusual is happening: The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has begun running 30-second ads for Weprin on local NYC TV stations. That's almost unheard of for a NYC House district election, since NYC advertising is relatively expensive and their candidates have generally been shoo-ins. So it's a tip-off that the 'Rats are running scared.
As to the content of the ad, nothing surprising there. Turner is portrayed as a jet-setting fatcat who wants to maintain tax breaks for corporations, reduce benefits for Social Security and Medicare, and is a threat to the middle class. The ad ends with touting the New York Slimes endorsement of Weprin.
Thankfully Flushing lies just outside the district . . .
(Sorry. : )
The only way OTrauma gets another term is if he calls off all elections and turns the military out on American citizens.
Well, my source for the 1922 statement is DJ, and I’m sure that he would not have said that if the bulk of the district had been represented by a Republican at any time since 1922. I don’t know, maybe LeBoutiller (sp?) represented some of the Queens precincts from 1981-1983, but the part of the district that Chuck Schumer used to represent has been sending Democrats to Congress for many decades.
U.S. House special election in the Reno-based NV-02 (which includes all of the counties outside of Las Vegas’s Clark County, and takes in part of Clark County as well) to fill the vacancy created by Republican Dean Heller’s resignation upon his appointment to the U.S. Senate. Republican Mark Amodei will defeat Democrat State Treasurer Kate Marshall.
