How Are We About To Lose A Congressional Race In NYC?

And what does that portend?

I know Staten Island sends Republicants to Congress but that is unheard of in the other boroughs.

1. I don't think we will lose

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. The Republicant Is Leading In The Polls And Has All The Momentum

It's not bad enough he's a Republicant but he's the clown who first produced the Jerry Springer show.

3. The history on this seat tells me that the polls are a bit screwy

right now, likely to bring down morale on either side and to lower turnout. If there is a low turnout, the Democrat wins.

I am pretty sure it will be a shock to Republicans when they lose.

4. Very Bad democrat candidate

[Nancy Waterman]

9. Exactly - a bad candidate

And we should not let the media extrapolate that this means the Dems are doomed in 2012, etc.

5. Because Weiner resigned. Should have taken advice from Vitter.

6. He Should Have Admitted It At The Beginning, Asked For Forgiveness, And Moved On

His stupid "playing games" did him in.

7. we are losing because...

the repubs are scaring the shit out of the jews in that district...they have made Weprin, an orthodox jew, look like an anti israel muselim extremist and Obama as a nazi....it's really sad. Plus, Weprin was the dem candidate by default and he's not a good one either...had to guess the national debt when asked and was to scared to debate the repub.

8. Nat'l Debt Is 14 Trillion

Even I know that.

10. People will be quick to blame Weiner

but the truth is the people in that district are angry at the Dems for abandoning Weiner. Yeah I said it, the truth hurts.

11. They didn't just abandon him - they got all pissy. I *mostly* love

my Rep Nikki Tsongas but did not appreciate her or any other D's moralizing.
