This is the biggest upset in recent memory!
Republican Bob Turner defeated Democrat David Weprin in the New York state special election to replace the disgraced former congressman, Anthony Weiner.
Keep this in mind.
The New York state ninth congressional district is two things.
Overwhelmingly Jewish. Overwhelmingly Democrat.
Even with the former congressman, Mr. Weiner, forced to resign in disgrace, one would think that pretty much any Democrat could keep this district in Democrat hands.
Well, you would be wrong.
This Jewish, Democrat district rejected one of their own in Assemblyman Weprin and put in Roman Catholic Republican Bob Turner to finish out the term.
Even more surprising is that it was not even close.
Mr. Turner won with 53% of the vote to Mr. Weprin's 47%.
As I noted here, there is no spin about this.
It is a rejection of the Democrats and the Dear Leader, President Obama.
If they do see this for what it is and change course in a hurry, they better enjoy this one term they have had to fundamentally transform America.
In the meantime, the Republicans have something to celebrate in winning such a Democrat district as the New York state ninth congressional.
