And possibly a foreshadowing of 2012.
I was thinking the same thing but I'll cautiously wait to count the chicks once they've hatched. Bob Turner could still lose this thing but I don't think so.
This could be a localized thing, just an anomaly reflecting discontent among the voters in that district for one reason or another such as Weprin's support of the ground zero mosque or it could be an indication of something bigger and more widespread.
I'm leaning toward it being both. Weprin is demonstrating a profound lack of understanding of his would be constituency in supporting the ground zero mosque. In case he hadn't heard Brooklyn is after all part of the greater New York City metropolitan area and New Yorkers, as one great big extended family, consider themselves to be victims of 9/11.
Never mind all that kumbayah-muslims-are-people-too crappola in the LSM, the real sentiments of New Yorkers will show at the polls.
Most affronted are no doubt Brooklyn's sizable Jewish population and certainly Arab/Israeli relations must have been covered at some point in Weprin's education. Perhaps he was sick that day?
Another large slice of the Brooklyn demographic is the Hispanic population, increasingly becoming disillusioned with the democrat party as of late as well.
