Will Democrats blame their poor choice in candidates first or will they blame racism, sexism, Palin, Christianity and the crusades, Bush, homophobia, voter fraud, Israel, Cheney or Rush, Beck, the Tea Party, DOMA, or the Pope first?
If you want to watch the results roll in you can see them here, the polls just closed so it'll be a little while.
Their victim is right there, hiding in plain sight. They'll just blame it on the Jews!!! A step in the right direction to keep using those ovens to bake pastries.
Last I checked the AP poll results both NY-9 and Nevada GOP had red check marks to designate called as 'won'.
Odd...every Jew I know tends to vote for the Democrats.
Most Jews that I know vote Democrat as well, but I don't know very many orthodox Jews, actually I don't any. You do understand that there is a huge difference in Non Practicing Jews, Orthodox Jews, etc. don't you. In that district, they have the largest concentration of Orthodox Jews in the country.
Not all Jews are Zionist. Zionist are more prone to vote for the Candidate be it democrat or Republican who gives unconditional support to Israel and is Anti-Muslim. They are more like the Isreali conservative party.

If you spent your entire life in NYC and Brooklyn as I have, you'd now how radically pro-Israel the Orthodox, Hasidic and Lubovitch population is here.
Mayor Koch endorsed Turner due to his stance on Israel...enough said.

I have been there often enough to know that you are correct; however, there are people on C-D, who have never left Texas and have absolutely no idea of other parts of the country. Their view of the rest of the country is very uninformed.
Sooo..did all these evil Joos just move there for the election?
Do you have any idea how many pro Israel Jews there are in Brooklyn? Obviously not. As I stated earlier, Mayor Koch supported and endorsed Turner soley for his stance on Israel.

New York is the second largest Jewish population center in the world (after the Gush Dan metropolitan area in Israel).
NY is losing two seats, one upstate, one downstate. Assembly is Democratic, State Senate is Republican so it will likely be a consensus map that gets drawn. Turner did win, but regardless of the victor a Congressman who is in office for just a few months (which is what it will be when the maps are drawn) obviously is not going to have the same clout as longer term incumbents.
As it was even prior to the whole scandal talk ensued that this was the district to be lost due in part because of geographical issues, and the fact it wasn't really going to impact an incumbent since Weiner was eyeing the NYC Mayor's race.
Just want to point out this is not your typical Dem NYC district. This was a district that Obama won by 4 points more than his national margin in 2008.
So when the Dems won NY-26 they won a district which was 13 points more GOP on the Presidential level than the nation, this one was 4 points more Democratic on the Presidential level than the nation.
You keep posting this, but it's like you're trying to pull a fast one. You're hoping people will think you wrote, "Obama won by just 4 points" but what really happened is that he won by even four points more than his national average, so he won by 10+ points. You really must think that we are stupid to not see what you're doing.
