Yes.

He's also a creep, which is more pertinent to this discussion.

86% counted and the GOP leading by 8%. Even the Rats in Chi-town couldn’t come up with enough fraudulent ballots at this late hour.

I would love to accept victory, but the RATs are holding back the remaining Queens precincts. They have updated twice and then pulled the precincts count back to 305, with 37 precincts remaining in Queens. Something fishy & evil & underhanded is going on with the RATs. A slender margin of approx 5,000 votes is like child’s play for the RATs dead voters to make up that difference. I want to see Queens precincts updated with the same margins as currently......otherwise they RATs will try to pull another Al Franken / Christine Gregoire to steal the election from Turner.

It was a great victory, especially for a party whose leadership has been AWOL for nearly this entire campaign.

The Brooklyn and Queens Republicans, Conservatives, and Turner supporters really earned this win.

It was, and remains, a VERY small school. If the student population is over 500 now, 30+ years after I graduated I would be surprised.

My husband went to public school, and while his graduating class wasn’t any where near the size of yours, it was still larger than the entire student body of the public middle school our daughter attends.

Relax.

I have worked on more than a few Congressional campaigns, and I am 100% certain that this one is OVER.

No chance the remaining votes will be enough to overcome a margin this large. None.

If anything, I would expect the margin of victory may even get a little larger.

I wish a NY FReeper close to Turner’s campaign would comment as to what is going on with the precinct count frozen in Queens. It has remained the same for the last 1 1/2 hours. Are the RATs making more ballots & stuffing them into the ballot boxes?

No, this guy has 3 other videos on You Tube. Here’s one:

Maybe if Obama is allowed to run for re-election for his party, 2012 will be a watershed/landslide year for Republicans and the Tea Party...

House, Senate and Presidency are within grasp of the Republicans. Conservatives must start working to get conservative candidates in place (not just GOP candidates but solid conservative candidates).

Conservatives must fix the system so that our Military are allowed to vote in elections.

It is the biggest pile of horse manure that our soldiers/sailors/airmen might die for their country in foreign lands but are disenfranchised in terms of voting...

If the Dems try to steal this one, especially after all of the major news outlets have called it for Turner, there will be Hell to pay. And how many precincts in Brooklyn remain unreported?

Nationally, it was a good night for Republicans. We picked up NY-9 and NV-2. Sadly, the national tide did not help three Assembly races here. Most commentary on NY-9 by non-New Yorkers will come from people who don’t even know about the assembly races, one of which was in a district that overlaps Turner’s. It’s a shame, because Marco DeSena would have been a good Assemblyman for Queens.

They did a fantastic job for Bob.

And Glenn Nocera, the current president, won his race for District Leader!

I hope so. I am from MN and the sting of Al Frankenstein’s stolen victory is fresh in my mind. I recall a Norm Coleman supporter who also told me to relax.... that one didn’t work out so well for Coleman or the GOP. I am very nervous that the Queens precincts counted have twice been updated and then pulled back to 305.
