Are you out of your mind? What exactly is conservative about this district? This is how you are going to justify this, that now the district is conservative.
This district gave America Charles E. Schumer and Anthony D. Weiner two of the most liberal, left leaning representative in the US Congress.
That voted for Anthony Weiner, noted conservative? You're killing me...
I guess you boys didn't read the thread, and missed this:
There are too many wingnuts in this thread for me to read it, but this is the deal with NY9:
It has the largest population of Orthodox Jews in the country - very conservative, and they are basically one-issue voters: who is the most Pro-Israel?
A lot of smart political people thought that Weiner could have maybe re-won his seat if he had tried, because Anthony Weiner was THE most Pro-Israel member of Congress. That's a fact.
So, while it is generally a very Pro-Democratic district, if the Republican supports Israel more in his rhetoric, he will get that segment's votes, no matter his wingnut positions on every other issue.
And their reason for electing Geraldine Ferraro?
And Chuck Schumer?
