I'll believe it when I see it. He's only around 6% down in an area where he should be 20-30% down. But it won't matter if he loses by 30% or 3%.
Can he pick up that last 6%? Maybe, but it isn't going to be easy. I'm hoping for strong motivation for Republicans and strong apathy among Democrats and a weak turnout.
"Meanwhile, the debate sponsors were furious at Weprin. 'Living up to his reputation as a career politician relying on appointments and back door politics to survive in the complicated 9th Congressional District political world . . . David Weprin canceled his debate,' read a positing on the website for the Juniper Park Civic Association, which organized the event with the Times Newsweekly. By skipping the candidates forum, Weprin is telling voters to 'get lost, I owe you nothing but a smile and a handshake for the cameras,' said Robert Holden, president of the organization, in a statement. The Times Newsweekly’s publisher, Maureen Walthers, expressed similar sentiments to the New York Times. 'He disenfranchised all the voters in this area,' she said."

That turnout might depend on the lack of endorsements by the NY Daily News, Times Newsweekly, etc. for Weprin, and the effect of dissing the Juniper Park Civic Association if the race is close.
