Your kidding, right?

He got elected, sounding just like Michelle Bachmann with a deeper voice.

How embarrassing for my home borough...only 18,000 votes cast all told. We could have kept this wacko out of office. Oh, well...it shouldn't be the end of the world. He probably hasn't got enough time to do much damage. And it's not like he was elected emperor.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results.

Oh yes, it's just so different. Been in dem hands for close to a century, was the seat of Shumer, Ferraro, Weiner, Gore won the district 67%, obama won it by 11. What a tough, tough environment for the dems to win in.

If this district is "difficult" for them, what will those districts occupied by 40 House dems that lean republican be like?

He's right that this district was different (but the there are parts of it that Turner did better in that never would have done so good if it wasn't for Obama mostly from the Irish and Italian vote if you want to see how this will play out across the country)

the great thing about the democrats today is there is something for everyone to hate. (I could see this type of election possiblly playing out in other parts of the North East and Midwest in what left of the ethnic white neighborhoods and towns especially if there are some Orthodox neighborhoods and towns)
