Once again, voters get what they deserve. Apparently, this was in a usually Republican district. Just great, moron voters.

New York hangs onto the premise that the Democratic promise of spreading the wealth still has promise. Too bad...

Guess New York will be one of the first states to fall into unsustainable governance... Long live New York!

I’m honestly not surprised.

One of the lessons that our side has to learn from the 2010 elections is that even on a year very favorable to the GOP, it’s still important to nominate a strong candidate.

“Not being the democrat just isn’t enough.”

Democrat + Rino+ Tea Party = Democrat Seat

Rinse. Repeat. 2012

“Bammy+ Trump + (Cain=Palin)= “Bammy 2.0

THE most important thing facing the country ...is NOT who the GOP candidate will be...but whether Trump runs or not.

Dont know anything about this, however if this was a Republican district, does this mean that the Rats have cheated again? (Fraud?)

NY loves their spend and taxers.

This statement should be placed on their license plates and quarters.

We absolutely must feed the parasite until the economy collapses with printed money. Then we must turn the military toward the lousy government.

Great, now we get to hear the liberal MSM spew that this election means that the country has turned against the Republicans and last November was just a fluke. That now the chance of Obama winning in 2012 has gone from 99% to 100% and also assures that the democrats will gain 100+ seats in Congress next election.

Of course it means none of that. It was a moderately Republican district in a liberal state, where the incumbent got caught in a sex scandal and resigned. Then the democrats poured a fortune into the race and still had to run a Faux tea party candidate to take the seat. This election has as much national bearing as those congressional seats that the dems won in 2009. Didn't help them a whole lot in November 2010 as I recall...

The GOP needs to attack Medicaid instead of Medicare spending. But that’s not going to happen.

No.

Democrat + Rino (running as R) + Tea Party (running 3rd party) = Democrat Seat

Bammy + Cain/Palin (running as R) + Trump running as an ideologically confused blithering idiot = Cain/Palin win.

Look at Florida 2010. Rubio-Crist-Meeks.

Conservatives + yellow dog Republicans = 3 way win.
