NEW YORK – Democrats here spent Tuesday in the final throes of a frantic, last-ditch effort to stave off a loss in the special election race to replace Anthony Weiner.
Democrat David Weprin, trailing Republican Bob Turner in multiple polls, raced to half a dozen campaign stops, imploring voters at senior centers and subway stops to cast their ballots for him. Party officials say their best hope for winning lies on the shoulders of the vaunted Queens County Democratic Party machine, which kicked into high gear Tuesday. Inside its headquarters — which doubles as the Weprin campaign’s nerve center — get-out-the vote workers rushed to pick up manila folders containing block-by-block layouts of the district; others sat at the phones, methodically working through voter-contact lists. Volunteers fanned out across Queens, handing out glossy placards highlighting Weprin’s endorsement from the New York Times editorial page.
Despite the last-minute Democratic push, the GOP appeared poised to capture the 9th District seat – an upset that would signal a rejection of President Barack Obama on his party’s turf and underscore the peril that he and Democrats up and down the ballot could face in 2012.

+++++I love it!!!
How do they know that “getting out the vote” isn’t getting more people who are disgusted with the dims?
This is probably working FOR Turner.
Doncha’ just wonder how many quickly made write-in ballots are in someones trunk waiting to be used???? I hope the Stupid Party is ready for that kind of fraud!
Where can we watch the votes come in?
Note to dim-bulb-crats...pick a lie (ie, pick any sentence) out of the Obamaloon books, change the name to Weprin and .. . shazam...you’ve got something that’s still a lie, but can be applied to your latest idiot.
After all, your constituents will believe anything. After all, they voted for the Cretin-in-Chief.
He doesn’t live in the district?
Weprin doesn’t live in the district, can’t vote for himself in the district, and apparently has said that he has no plans to move into the district.
I hope the commie ‘RATS spent BIG, BIG bucks trying to defend this seat for der Fuhrer. You can bet that voter fraud was rampant today. I’ll bet the union mobsters from all over the country came out in droves.
Good question. In most States, the Secretary of State website displays real-time results, but I can find it on the NY site.
But I did find this:

Polls close at 9PM EST, in about 5 minutes, and this site promises updates every 15 minutes, starting at 9:15.
Well this should be fun. . .
Anybody have a link to check the poll tallies?
The site I just linked feeds off AP’s data, which is here:
It seems to me that the Headline is being used to lessen Republican turnout. If enough people on our side think the Election is already won, turnout will be less than hoped.
I guess we’ll know soon enough...
Thank you.
Still others, canvassed local cemeteries, trunks of abandoned cars, cobweb laced attics, and tree hollows in search of ballot boxes whose content bared Weprin's name on them .....
Let’s not count any chickens yet. It will be a great thing if this gay-marriage supporter goes down. But the voters will have to make it happen. Pray that God gives them wisdom.
I respectfully disagree. My experience is that people want to say they voted/bought/cheered/etc for the winner.
The delicious irony of it all is that had Weiner kept his personal photos to himself, none of this would be happening!
Anthony Weiner is the entire cause of this 'catastrophe' for the Dems ... gotta love it :)
