dennis4868 (1000+ posts) Tue Sep-13-11 09:47 PMResponse to Reply #414. yep! 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.
gateley (1000+ posts) Tue Sep-13-11 09:50 PMResponse to Reply #1416. 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.
"The nation that couldn’t be conquered by foreign enemies has been conquered by its elected officials" odawg Free Republic in reference to the GOP Elites who are no difference than the Democrats
Prediction. After Turner wins tonight the Republicans will be accused of cheating, just going out on a limb here with a wild ass guess.
Even if Turner loses and it's close, the rethuglicans cheated. /DUmode
Thanks for the links JakeStyle. ^5

If the Democrats lose the regressives are just trying to send a message /DU excuse!
Yep, and that message is that the DemonRats need to move farther left.

hlthe2b (1000+ posts) Tue Sep-13-11 11:29 PMResponse to Original message38. I see some remain optimistic for NY-09, but I'm quite concerned... damn... It is hard enough to lose an outspoken progressive Dem like Wiener, but to lose this seat? Not over by any means and fingers are tightly crossed.
Tx4obama (1000+ posts) Tue Sep-13-11 11:33 PMResponse to Reply #3943. But what's up with Brooklyn? Are there more republicans than democrats there?
Yupster (1000+ posts) Tue Sep-13-11 11:32 PMResponse to Original message42. Need someone who knows the district Edited on Tue Sep-13-11 11:33 PM by Yupsterto tell us whether Brooklyn will stay so bad or is it just which precincts are reporting?Anyone?Also who had the better absentee effort?
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.
