Weiner won 60%-40% against Weprin last time out. Hardly a “difficult” seat.
There is no singular reason for the Dems to have lost this particular seat, just a lot of bungling of a lot of things with various constituencies in addition to general malaise and a desire for change.
Weiner won 60%-40% against Turner last time out. Weprin retains his sinecure as an assemblyman. After this debacle, maybe he'll get a serious challenger.
