3. There was a big ad buy in the market, but it may have begun too late. I've only seen the ads in the
past two days. Win The Future has basically turned into What The ****.

4. Holding my breath, although I read here that lots of
anti-Semite/Obama crap has been dumped on the area. Primarily Jewish, right?
What ugly, ugly people these Republicans are. Just despicable.

Repubs and orthodox jews are lying their asses of about Obama and his record on Israel...this is the one and only reason we are going to lose NY09.

16. Enlighten me here if you can --
Is Obama considered less friendly to the Jewish community than the Republicans? Is that why the Orthodox followers are working against him? Thanks.
God, are these DUmmies totally ignorant of the way Obama has treated Israel and Netanyahu ?

Count many jews (normally) among the DUmmies.
At least some of them momentarily got their heads out of their demoncrat butt holes.
For the moment anyways.
Eventually (40 years) the jews did "leave the wilderness to enter the promised land".
Glad they didnt wait that long this time (unless you include Hitler).

42. Need someone who knows the district
Edited on Tue Sep-13-11 11:33 PM by Yupster
to tell us whether Brooklyn will stay so bad or is it just which precincts are reporting?
Anyone?
Also who had the better absentee effort?
No! it's a referendum on Obama and the Jewish Democrats are fed-up! Turner was endorsed by Dov Hikind and Ed Koch, both staunch supporters of Israel, and both are Democrats!

Suck it dummies, you lost and you are going to continue to lose for decades. Get used to it.

From David Weigel at Slate :-)
11:20: There's simply not enough of a Weprin margin in Queens to let him overcome the coming Turner landslide in Brooklyn. This is over, even if the AP waits a while to call it.
Bob Turner (R) defeats David Weprin (D)
11:31: Meanwhile, NV-2 will be called as soon as the trend becomes undeniable. This race fell off the map after Republicans made a massive investment in it and Democrats skeddadled away, leaving their candidate, Kate Marshall, to fend for herself.
There was a time when this district looked competitive. At more than 100,000 square miles, it's one of the largest districts in America, with a population center in Reno's Washoe County and Carson City flowing into endless deserts and small towns. In 2006 and 2008, Democrats held the GOP's candidate, Dean Heller, to 50 percent and 52 percent of the vote. In 2008, Obama lost the county by only 89 votes out of more than 330,000 cast -- John Kerry had lost it by 16 points. The result tonight will look a lot more like 2004 than 2008, a sign of a real Democratic backslide in one of the most economically depressed states.

Brooklyn is where the heavy Orthodox Jewish vote is, and where the GOP believes they have swung the election.

Was it NY23 or 29 or something where the dems fronted a mole as a TP candidate that split the GOP vote allowing for a dem pick-up?

Two things about this concern me.
1. It's a good thing if this is because the Dem lost the Jewish vote because of Obama's actions and words regarding Israel and it translates nationally in 2012.
2. It could be a bad thing if Obama realizes it and reverses course with respect to Israel. I think and hope that he is too arrogant to believe he bears any blame for this loss, though.

I like that the DUmmies are concerned with the loss of an "outspoken lib like wiener, but no mention that the guy was an asshat, lying, pervert.

I think Obama being anti-Israel is ingrained in him, he can try to change but I don't think it would work, Obama is surrounded by staunch anti-Israel people, he can try to change but no way can he turn his back on the Islamic World.

Obama is squarely in the anti-Israel camp. He is such an ideologue that it is nearly impossible for him to change.

41. But it is a special election with an OLD, ETHNIC, SMALL, SOCIALLY CONSERVATIVE electorate angry at
Obama, and very worried about the economy.
He fails to mention the 3 to 1 moonbat registration advantage.
But this election doesn't reflect that much on the rest of the country. The overwhelmingly Jewish moonbat population
is going more than 2 to 1 against the democrat because the jug-eared muslim tells Israel to go piss up a rope.
Normal people see Israel as a vital, important ally, but in Brooklyn it's the Promised Land, and I think Brooklyn Jews are
beginning to see the plan their muslim democrat president has for it.

I wrote this same post in another thread.
I am Jewish, and life a few blocks form the district. There was more to this election than is being reported.
Many of the jews in this district are Orthodox Jews, who are by nature very conservative, and only vote democrat because 90% of this city is democrat, and they "go with the flow" in order to stay connected to the broader political culture in the city. The democratic candidate was a Orthodox Jew, who nevertheless voted for gay marriage in the new york state legislature, where he was a member. His vote was one of the deciding votes that caused the law to pass. This did not go over well with the Orthodox Jewish population in NYC. The republican candidate was a Conservative Irish Catholic, who was against gay marriage.
Except for Ed Koch, the former mayor of NYC, endorsing the republican, I did not see many advertisements mentioning Israel as a reason to vote republican. But I saw many ads in predominately jewish media in the days before the election urging jews to vote republican over the gay marriage issue. Those ads were signed by many rabbis.

Well, he has the US trying to block a vote in the UN for "Palestinian" statehood and that was before this vote. It bought him nothing.
However, you're asking a narcissist to admit error. Clinton could triangulate because he was self-centered and wanted what was best for him and his political fortunes. Narcissism is on another scale; it cannot admit error. Others must be wrong but never the narcissist. If the others want something different they must be shown the error of *their* ways by proceeding undeterred if not doubling down.

I agree completely. Every liberal I have ever encountered was/is narcissistic, but Obama's is on a level I have never seen.

Obama talked about his proposal to pay for the plan by raising taxes on big corporations and the wealthy, an idea that has not sat well with Republicans in Congress.
