QUEENS, N.Y. -- With more than half of precincts reporting, retired media executive and Republican Bob Turner beat New York State Assemblyman David Weprin in the special election to fill the congressional seat vacated by Anthony Weiner Tuesday in an upset capture of a solidly Democratic seat last in GOP hands in 1923. Results from 329 of 512 precincts in the 9th congressional district -- a largely white ethnic, middle- to upper-middle class community that spans parts of Queens and Brooklyn -- found Turner leading 53 percent to 47 percent over Weprin.

The 2012 GOP landslide is underway.
The fact that this is New York means that all the Democrat fraud failed to sway an election.

This victory is sweeter in that the candidates made this a referendum of the Obama agenda.

Now off to DUmmyland to savor the anguish!

It's oddly quiet over there tonight, save for a couple of threads.  Maybe some of them are beginning to read the handwriting on the wall.

And what's funny is when the DUmmies say, "You know what we need to do?  We need to elect 51% of solid, pure Progressive congressmen in 2012!"   Ain't gonna happen.

Now granted, turnout wasn't anywhere near what it will be in the General Election next year, so I harbor no illusions about holding the seat past then, much like Cao in LA, and Djou in Hawaii.

However, the fact that a district with a Cook PVI of D+5 goes to the GOP by 6 points is a MAJOR issue.

I think this area of NY is up for redistricting. This win guarantees this is the one Cuomo will eliminate.

There was another conservative in Nevada last night too, but it was a safe gop seat.

I wonder how long til he or his campaign calls the jews off NY racists.

I am sorry, but the last thing I think of Obama is being black.  He is so far from a black man that he might as well be Chinese. :lmao:

Actually, NY loses two.  Because of the Republicans holding the NYS Senate, one (D) seat will be lost as well.  Weiner's seat was supposed to be up for being axed anyway, then an (R) seat, possibly my congressman's (Chris Gibson, NY-20).  Now, the Dems have to come up with another seat to get chopped.  (Bob Owens--NY-23?)
