Republican wins Democratic New York House seat

10 years to go and you will catch up to me, now how is that relevant? Jewish voters in NY 9 turned against Obama and that is without question except for the Obama brainwashe cult followers.
I'm still waiting for those exit polls you mentioned.... How come you're refusing to post a link to them?

It was the Orthodox Jewish voters that voted against the Democrat, the liberal ones for the most part stayed home because they were upset that Anthony Weiner quit.
 
if you're going to use big words, use the right ones. imo, it was a perfect storm of reasons.

Perfect storm? You mean the Obama record? Did Koch make this a referendum against Obama? How anyone can claim this wasn't about Obama is beyond comprehension.

No, it is your opinion. It is a valid possibility, but not one without question.

I also like how you use the fallacy if we don't think it is your opinion we are brainwashed. Sorry, but I'm not brainwashed I'm just able to look at it objectionably. I never said your scenario wasnt a possibility, just that it isn't without question.

It's your opinion and you are free to it, but that doesn't make it fact by default.

The fact is NY 9 elected a Republican for the first time in 90 years and with Turner running against the Obama record, Koch and King support only those Obama supporters in denial claim this wasn't about Obama. Then there was the huge GOP Victory in Nevada, not the end result but the margin of victory.

except i never claimed that.

You'll wait a long time because there isn't any. Some people just make **** up.

Because far fewer people vote in special elections, they're always at least partly about turnout. Although without exit polls we cannot say precisely who voted or for whom, the Republicans took advantage of a strong environment for them while an early look suggests plenty of Democrats' regular voters seem to have stayed home, as Weprin failed to take advantage of a substantial numerical registration edge.

Obviously that is why you believe, the exit polls make other claims and I buy the exit results showing Obama was the reason this District went Republican for the first time in almost 90 years
Why are you running away from this statement of yours, Con?

You weren't lying again, were you?

C'mon, post a link to those exit polls.
 
You mean the seat that has never been held by a Democrat? I think that one is rather self-explanatory.

88 vote win for McCain in 08

27K vote win for repub today....

Yeah, nothing to see here....Whistle on progressive.

I know there are no exit polls. That's why Conservative refuses to respond to my query, because he knows it too. Now I'm just shining a spotlight on his pathological lying.

This was a special election which always have low turnouts and presidential elections always have the largest.

You're comparing voter turnout between a presidential election and an off year special election?

Seriously???

:lamo :lamo :lamo

Still, no Democrat has ever held that seat. What a shocker it was won by a Republican.

Here, speaking of special elections ... check this out ... from November, 2009 ...


Democrat wins hard-fought N.Y. House special election

Democrat Bill Owens took a surprising victory in a special election Tuesday in Upstate New York, winning a House seat that Republicans had controlled since 1872 and, in the process, potentially deepening a split that emerged within the GOP during the campaign.
A Democrat takes a House seat held by Republicans for 139 years in 2009 ... what happened to Democrats in the House the following year?

You righties are making the same mistake the left made when they tried reading into Bill Owens' unexpected win in 2009.

I don't think so, but we will see won't we...My guess is that once Obama looses in 12 you, and so many other antagonists will disappear into the night like you were never here, either that or the whining, excuse making, fraud charging true self will appear....It oughta be a real hoot.

We will see, however I must caution that you shouldn't count your chickens before they're hatched as the old saying goes. Despite the economy, President Obama has a lot going for him. Millions of voters out there know they lost their jobs in the shadow of the Great Bush Recession of 2008.

Notice that you never mention the Obama record, wonder why that is? Everything is blamed on Bush and we are 2 1/2 years later and of course Obama wasn't in the Congress that helped create that recession, right? Are you telling us that Bush had such control over the economy that he created the recession without the help of Obama and the Democrat controlled Congress? Seems the people of NY 9 disagree with you as do the majority in the country now that give Obama such low JAR.

So you are making the bold prediction that if Obama loses, liberals here will completely disappear ..........

..... or they will not.

I think you covered all the possibilities.

Liberals won't disappear but instead will do what they always do when losing elections, protest and get violent. Obama is building a dependent class that isn't going to like the outcome of the next election and people like you will be right there to cheer them on.

Could you point out the violent riots when Bush was awarded the presidency in late 2000?

I couldn't have said it better myself. See you in November 2012.

I'll have too update this:

Aw, give me a break, where in the hell were you, buried head in the sand? Protests outside the Supreme Court, protests all over Florida. You have a very selective partisan memory. What is it about liberalism that creates this kind of loyalty? Your party has been infiltrated by leftwing zealots and the good Democrats are allowing it to happen.

You specifically said

protest and get violent.

So where did this happen before the Bush inauguration?

That of course is your speculation which is civics challenged. Seems that Democrats were more interested in regaining the WH than keeping the country out of a recession in 2007-2008. Again notice that results don't matter to ideologues as evidenced by your posts.

Obama JAR 39% again and worse on the economy but carry on with your support. Who knows Oregon may even elect more Republicans for a change.
