No, it's what the voters in NY23rd (a district that had been held by Republicans since the Civil War) said.
Since you're so smart, I know you'll be able to explain to the audience that NY23 was "won" by a Democrat because the Republican, Scuzzyfava, abdicated her candidacy the weekend before the election AND endorsed the enemy, but that the American in the race, with no elective experience at all, still managed to win nearly 50% of the vote anyway.
Yes, that contest was extremely illuminating, but it wasn't good for the Democrats, since the Democrat that won that election isn't going to be holding that seat next January.
