Weiner has a war chest of money...in his campaign fund...what an idiot...he was so connected in with the Clinton's..he is Jewish...he had his life made, for a Senate seat in a few years...

Schumer and Gillibrand have those seats as long as they wanted them, so a Senate seat in the near future was far from set in stone. With that being said he did have a very bright future ahead of him and threw it all away.
And Obama has shown you can get demolished with the Orthodox vote in the district and still win the district. The determining factor really isn't going to be the Orthodox vote, (since McCain won it big and still lost), its actually going to be what group turns out heavier. The liberal secular upper middle class Jews and Asians in Forest Hills or the conservatives in Howard Beach
so Orthodox Jewish Turnout doesn't count? (we had a low turnout in the obama election due to the fact it was clear to everyone there was zero chance of Obama losing NY and most Jewish Assembly and Senate seats were basically unopposed)
This Dem is done.
“I believe our debt is insurmountable. I’m worried about the future of this country,” said lifelong Democrat Jim Aramanno, 64, who gave up his Saturday morning to attend a rally for Bob Turner, the maverick businessman-turned-politician who hopes to be the first Republican to capture the 9th Congressional District.
“I am afraid our standard of living will crash if we don’t get this country out of debt,” said the retired special-ed teacher, explaining why he plans to vote against his party Tuesday in the special election for ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner’s former seat.
With Democrat David Weprin trailing Turner by six points -- 50 to 44, according to Friday’s Siena Poll -- the Democratic Party is scrambling to raise voter turnout. It has tapped Gov. Cuomo for pro-Weprin robo-calls.
Democrats are facing the very real possibility that a pair of special elections on Tuesday will shake the foundations of the 2012 political landscape.
If Republicans win both contests, it would raise fresh concerns about President Obama’s drag on down-ballot Democrats and the party’s ability to keep its Senate majority.
National implications, no doubt about it.
