This was Chuck U's old seat. I would love to see his mug!

I wouldn't, Doc.....unless we show him this mug first.

I wish I could’ve worked even harder. But my sign was so effective that it even drew the attention of those closest to Weprin.

Reason triumphs over habit!

May it continue to do so in future elections.

The difference between Orthodox Jews in Queens vs Brooklyn is that if a Queens rabbi tells his congregants “you should vote for Turner,” his congregants will say “OK maybe I’ll consider what you’re saying but I’ll make my own mind.”

While in Brooklyn the rabbis say “it is an obligation to vote for Turner because it is a big disgrace for the Jewish people if Weprin wins” and everyone follows in droves. It is the mother of GOTV efforts.

One governor who liked high-priced hookers, one congressman who liked to photograph his wing-wang. Which NY Dem elected official will be next to be found incapable of discretely dealing with the fact of their male genitalia?

What's funny is to see the excuses: http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/republican-wins-democratic-new-york-house-seat/2011/09/13/gIQAoos5QK_print.html

"Democrats rejected talk that Tuesday’s election was a referendum on Obama and noted its highly unusual circumstances, including Weiner’s resignation and the fact that the contest was held two days after the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. The 9/11 remembrances essentially brought the race to a halt on Sunday. [What on earth does that have to do with anything??]

Also, in a special election with a small turnout, the district’s large number of Orthodox Jews — who have drifted from Democrats since George W. Bush’s first term — played an outsize role in tilting the race toward Turner. [going for R for the first time since 1922...]

“This is a special election that is purely reflective of who showed up to the polls and the makeup of the district,” [DUH!] Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (Fla.), chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said in an interview after the defeat.

She said that Orthodox Jews, whose approval rating of Obama stands at just 13 percent, were far outnumbered in other districts with large numbers of Jewish voters and that this result will not be replicated elsewhere. “There isn’t any comparison between districts like mine and New York Nine,” she said. ["Nyah, nyah, nyah! come and get me!"]

We all have to accept the truth and that is he will incite a race war before the election. Look at his and the CBC/lib crap so far - a steady progression of threats and violence. Just be ready because it’s coming. They WILL resort to chaos before giving up power.

Brooklyn has many precincts with a majority of Orthodox
Jewish voters. Queens has a good number of Orthodox, but
many non-observant.

allot of younger Blacks have given up on Obama and you are going to see that in the 2012 turnout.

Are they just gonna stay home, or will they vote for someone else?

As you may have guessed they are NOT happy about this at DU, pretty funny comments there enjoy.

Might be too much to hope that many will turn and vote Rep. Bit as long as they don’t vote Dem, America and the world win.

As much as I dislike some aspects of his politics-and personality-I've got to give credit to my former assemblyman, Dov Hikind.

He did more to help elect Bob Turner than the entire Republican Party in the borough of Brooklyn.
