First I saw this mentioned today. If true, this is unfathomable. It would almost seem like this race was a throw away for the party if they didn't even bother to defend the charges. Fine if true, but then this needs to be mentioned far and wide so it is clear that this special election has no bearing on the rest of the nation or the 2012 budget.
The top three reasons for the election of a Democrat in one of the most conservative Republican districts in America are Conservative Vote Splitting, Conservative Vote Splitting, and Conservative Vote Splitting, Congressman. In case you can't read the election results, the majority of people in the 26th district voted AGAINST your Obama-loving Democrat. But gloat all you want and pretend you have a mandate, you'll find out next November that Kathy Hochul and her views on "medicare" are about as popular in NY-26 as Charles Djon was in Hawaii-1 after the Dems stopped splitting their votes there.
The Tea Party isn't a party. It's the pendulum starting to swing the other way.
Good olde Davey is just spitting out the latest talking points fax from the DNC!
The GOP stayed home for many reason including Bonehead showing that he is not interested in stopping Obamacare or the Spending and killed the GOP base morale and interest in voting for Bonehead spineless moves( 100 k did not vote this round ).
The stupid scandal does not help voter turnout for a GOP right after the guy resigned.
Frankly ,why did the clown resign over a Craig list photo ???
Barney Franks was caught running a male hustler ring and fixing parking tickets !
Then we have a third party Dem scam artist.
Matters not a whit to me, it is after all New York, AKA land of the clueless and entitlement central.
If they’re rejoicing — I hope their goal is for Zero to win 47% of the vote (or even less) in 2012.
Brooklyn 112/170 10,212 69% Bob Turner (GOP) - winner
Hey DemonRats!
Where's your "mandate" on "Medicare, medicare, medicare" NOW? It seems the results aren't quite the same without FAKE tea party candidates. Awww, too bad!
Sooooo... enlighten us, why'd you get such a HUGE SLAPDOWN from a "safe" NYC district, Steve Israel?
See you in 2012!
(Sorry, couldn't help but gloat. These douchebags who tried to claim a "mandate" from their fluke win back in May with 44% of the vote deserved it)

They LOST.
It was NOT A CONSERVATIVE DISTRICT.
Geez guys, how much worse can you get?
