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.

How about the fact that Mr. Weprin did not live iin the district and had no intention of moving into the district. Said that he’d “vote from his mother’s house.” What an arrogant clown.
Perhaps a bold FReeper/tweeter will pick up the cudgels.
The longshoreman has better hair.
Plus, I am pretty sure that's not a Hitler mustache. I think it's just a shadow. :)
His toupee DID live in the district, though. That has to count for SOMEthing.
I did think it hilarious that the Democrats tried to attack GOP candidate Turner because he lives in a gated community of some sort. “At least I live in the district!”
I suspect Barry’s upcoming Bus Tour II will be limited to Maxine Waters district. He’s poison everywhere else.
Bump #12
He’d look like Netanyahu if he’d lose the wig and the mustache. Then he would have won.
That the guy with the interesting name? I think he told the reporter his name was c*******er m*********er or something like that. That gives the name “Weprin” a run for its money.
Obama, less sense than Carter, more hubris than Clinton,
less honor than Nixon and half the brains of LBJ.
Weprin is a dead ringer for Ira Flatow of NPR and PBS.
David Weprin is spreading a vicious rumor that President Obama was responsible for his defeat yesterday. Please have a Teamster take that SOB out.
ROFLMAO! Perfect. +10
Might as well blame the stupidity of the voters, too. That seems to be a common excuse on DU.
And what’s the deal with the rug? Ashamed to show his bald head in public? At least he should buy one that matches his own hair color.
Strange to find myself in agreement with a democrat.
Its a very difficult district for Democrats
Wasserman....is she ugly or what?
NY Dems should demand an open Primary - Draft Hillary - Operation Chaos, Part Deux
LOLOLOLOL! Thanks mojito.
