Yeah, that's what I fear as well. I think Turner will win in the regular voting. I'm not so sure that he'll carry enough to hold that lead through the "late voting."

Hey, I'm usually a big optimist and I know enough to keep my mouth shut before the polls close. But this race reeks of one that the Dems will steal. A possible upset in a heavily Dem district that's been Dem since 1922? Plus, keep in mind that Weprin is a gay "marriage" supporter and this has been an issue during the campaign. His morality-challenged friends will use any means necessary to drag him across the finish line.
Turner will need a lead that exceeds the margin of fraud. In this district, that's fairly significant. His lead is now floating around 2,500 votes. That's the low end of what I would be confident in calling an unassailable victory.
Anyway, if the trend holds, this is going to be a devastating night for Obama - which makes it a pretty good night for the rest of us.
