Nationally, it was a good night for Republicans. We picked up NY-9 and NV-2. Sadly, the national tide did not help three Assembly races here. Most commentary on NY-9 by non-New Yorkers will come from people who don’t even know about the assembly races, one of which was in a district that overlaps Turner’s.

You're right, I didn't know there were Assembly races also going on in NY.

I think I "feel your pain", rmlew... while conservatives were celebrating the mid-term elections of 2010, my state - The People's Republik of Connecticut - elected more 'RATs including the smarmy Sen. Dick Blumenthal and socialist union thug 'RAT Gov. Dannel Malloy.

We did gain a few GOP seats in our legislature, though. My former state rep. was one of the most outrageously liberal socialists in the state. It was a close race, but she's been replaced by a Tea Party-sympathetic Republican - great guy.

The former 'RAT state rep. tried all kinds of shenanigans to try and keep her seat, including screaming at the top of her lungs in one town hall in the district demanding a recount. Gotta love it when these Socialists lose their power! :-)

I actually spoke too soon. The GOP kind of, sort of, on a NY way only half won one of the assembly races in Brooklyn. In the 54th Assembly District, Rafael Espinal ran and a Democrat and Republican. Deidra Towns, the daughter of the local congressman Ed Town, and the sister of Darryl C. Towns, who had represented the 54th AD. There was also a Working Families Party-backed Jesus Gonzalez. Of course, Espinal will be seated as a Democrat.

I'm still astounded that people voted for Blumenthal.
