NY-9 Offers Lessons For Republicans
By Carole on Sep 14, 2011
It's doubtful that NY-9's message sent to President Barack Obama yesterday will get through. But the Republican victory in a district that has been held by Democrats since the roaring 20's sent some strong messages to the GOP as well and there are lessons to be learned by Republicans that will be running for office, supporting those who run and voting for those they support throughout the next 14 months.
Republican Bob Turner Wins In NY-9
By Carole on Sep 14, 2011
Congratulations to Republican Bob Turner who broke the Democratic Party's 88 year hold on the House seat most recently held by disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-New York). With 70 percent of precincts reporting, Mr. Turner won 53 percent of the vote compared to Democrat David Weprin's 47 percent. That was enough for the Associated Press to declare Mr. Turner the winner.
