Democrats set to lose another Congressional seat (NY-9) to unknown Republican

[Ernie S.]

Look at the percentages in Brooklyn!

 

[Synthaholic]

50 - 50 now

And I just saw 52-48.

News from The Associated Press

It's gonna go back and forth.

Who wants to scan the Weinergate thread and find all the quotes that a Republican could never win NY9.

1... 2... 3...

... Not "it".

I don't know enough about Turner to determine his ideology, but I do know that New York City has the second most expensive public school system per pupil in the country and yet it ranks one of the worst in quality of education in the country, so clearly all that money being spent there isn't doing a whole lot of good. May as well stop wasting it. That money isn't being spent for the benefit of the students; it's spent for the benefit of the bureaucrats and those employed by the inept school system.

I do not think that's correct.

that's absolutely INCORRECT. NYC has among the best school systems in the country.

in 2007, which i found just by a quick google, we were 16 out of 50.

That is simply not true, Jillian.

50 - 50 again

1/3 of Queens in and Turner has a slight lead. Not really significant. Brooklyn still hasn't got very far in the counting and Turner is stomping.

IF this keeps up like this, it looks lie quite a humiliating loss for Weprin.

Gawl dang it's going to be a close one.

For everyone here, ain't democracy grand?

 

[percysunshine]

Breaking news! Late entry of a gerbil from Schenectady has taken the lead.

I'm not gonna do it....

Let's get Mikey...

Hey Mikey!

There is still the race in Nevada, but everyone is calling that one a forgone conclusion.

This could be as big a deal as the Scott Brown thing. You think there is a lessons learned thing here?

 

[Dr.House]

52-47 Turner with 151/512 reporting...

 

[Ragnar]

50 - 50 now

Stop bringing in facts that don't support my world-view evil witch.

I think the democratic party at large is already showing signs of catching on. Hell some of them jumped ship in this election. Obama however, yea I dont see anything detering him from self destructing.

Look at the percentages in Brooklyn!

i am. it's not really surprising. anthony weiner almost got his butt kicked in that part of brooklyn last time. a lot of orthodox jews and irish and roman catholics... and the russians who are citizens generally vote republican.

still at 50/50, though.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Brooklyn isnt even close. Do all the Jews in that district live in Brooklyn?
