Some Democrats are arguing that the NY-9 race doesnt mean anything for Obamas 2012 chances. But according to David Weprin, the Democratic candidate who lost the NY-9 race to Republican Bob Turner, Obama has major problems in New York.
Weprin blamed Obamas unpopularity and Israel issues for his failed bid during an interview with Washington Jewish Weeks Adam Kredo:
My first question for Weprin was, What happened?
His reply: The media, my opponent somewhat successfully made it a referendum on Obama. I dont know if it was just Israel, but Israel certainly was a major part of it.
Whether real or perceived, theres no question that the president has some major issues in New York, Weprin said. I certainly suffered from the effects of that.

Up next, full melt-down mode.
I still say Weprin sounds like a prescription medication.
Then His morph in Carter 2.o will be complete.
The fact that Weprin is so quick to blame his loss on Obama indicates he knows that a LOT of Dems — especially Dem candidates — will understand and sympathize. That speaks volumes.
Too bad they didn't run an ad like: “0bamas recommend Weprin two to one over that bargain brand.”
Too funny...Thanks weiner for your basic stupidity!!
the Hitler mustache and dead animal on his head didn't help, either.
Little. Yellow. Weprin.
Sheesh!
Dear AttackWatch.com:
David Weprin is spreading a vicious rumor that President Obama was responsible for his defeat yesterday. Please have a Teamster take that SOB out.
Yes, and another huge problem was the marriage issue.
Now, I need to be precise here. If Weprin (like Weiner before him) had simply mouthed the usual “yes to gay marriage” statements, he’d’ve been fine in that district. But no.
Weprin made the outrageous statement — in THAT district, with a heavily Jewish population — that people who oppose legalizing gay marriage are like those who would outlaw intermarriage between Jews and Gentiles. HUH?
Well . . . he cudda' blamed Bush!
I do hope you retweet that. These are just the kinds of vicious rumors and seamy innuendo that the WH needs to be rebutting.
I don’t tweet, so maybe you can tweet it for me?
I had to read that to my wife who enjoyed it too. Thanks for the belly laugh - hope you follow through and actually post this on Attackwatch!
Is it just me, or does he look like a labor union “enforcer” thug to anyone else?
Not that I need another hobby... but you may have put me on to a new one. :-)
