.You really should fact check, but you don't - at least you've been nailed on your sloppiness at least twice in the last week. When you get into hot water on that front, you just cannot own up to it. That would take maturity.Yawn, and the ankle biters (Modo and Patek) attempt their cheap shots because Midnight thinks he got a gotcha moment.

New York: The New York Special Election to fill the vacant seat of Congressman McHugh is a mess. The District 23 seat in upstate New York has been a safe Republican seat for over a 100 years. We would not even be talking about this race had Congressman McHugh not resigned to join the Obama administration as Secretary of the Army. That is water over the dam.

And the nail:
As a former New York reporter, I can tell you District 23 has been unquestionably Republican for years. You have to go back more than 100 years to find a Democrat who represented this area of Upstate New York in Congress. Just look at the 2000 election results. While Al Gore defeated George W. Bush 60 percent to 35 percent statewide, Bush won the 23rd district.
dogbert is exhibiting a child like mentality. I wonder how old he/she is. At any rate the news media isn't any good at math either. All one has to do is look at the 23rd districts history and you will see plenty of Democrats held those seats up until redistricting placed them somewhere else....but hey...the media needs to hammer the Reps somehow...to be fair and balanced of course....
Yes, I am obsessed with accuracy. You should give it a shot sometimes.

I saw that, and it still doesn't mesh with what's on the wiki page. Map, history and all.It says 18 on it's profile.
Sure is correct. As for your questions, see post #38. Found a more detailed answer for you.

I'm also obsessed with logic, and logic is something that often escapes those who are overwrought with emotions, like we see with you right now. Irrelevance will get you nowhere and will not change the fact that you have been sloppy in fact checking the media lately.Yes, I am obsessed with accuracy. You should give it a shot sometimes.
You must of kicked that habit a long time ago then. Because you are obviously still pissed off from that thread. You're a joke, why don't you go back to try and take the "N-Word" back. Don't clutch those pearls too hard now.

Here's where McNulty got re-elected in 1990:
New York 23 Michael R. McNulty Democratic
Michael R. McNulty (D) 64.1%
Margaret B. Buhrmaster (R) 35.9%
If you look, you'll see that map is much the same as it is today.

The 23rd has historically been one of the more Republican districts in the Northeast. Some portions of the district have not been represented by a Democrat since 1871; other portions have not been represented by a Democrat since 1851, when the Whig Party still existed.
Although McHugh was consistently elected with over 60% of the vote, in recent years the district has been more competitive in United States presidential elections, with George W. Bush winning the district in both 2004 against John Kerry (51%–47%) and 2000 against Al Gore (49%–47%),[7] and Barack Obama defeating John McCain in the district 52%–47% in 2008.
Yup I saw that while you were posting it.Except, it is. It just had MORE land area then, but still including the same as now.
Could you get me an actual map of District 23 in 1990? I don't see one.
By the way, from Wikipedia:

And from 93-2003:The 23rd has historically been one of the more Republican districts in the Northeast. Some portions of the district have not been represented by a Democrat since 1871; other portions have not been represented by a Democrat since 1851, when the Whig Party still existed.

I see my error now. All questions answered.

I think you can see where the confusion was, the claim being the 23rd District, instead of the region it actually represents. The separate counties have been various other district numbers over the years.I see my error now. All questions answered.
