Since the 'Civil War'?
In a district that has been 'a Republican stronghold since the Civil War', where Republicans brought in the heavy hitters and Fox 'News' campaigned its heart out for the 'conservative'(sic), Democrats added another seat in the House of Representatives.
SARANAC LAKE, N.Y. — Democrats won a special election in New York State’s northernmost Congressional district Tuesday, a setback for national conservatives who heavily promoted a third candidate in what became an intense debate over the direction of the Republican Party.That Wikipedia link I used the other day was just plain wrong. It states that the last time a Democrat held NY's 23rd congressional seat it was Michael R. McNulty in the year 1992, but McNulty served in Congress until January of this year and he was from the 21st district.
Since the Civil War? Was that a referendum on The Club for Growth who spent more than $1 million and Palin, Pawlenty, Beck and Limbaugh who heavily supported Conservative Party (sic) candidate Doug Hoffman?
New Jersey Goes Red!
Jon Corzine lost. So much for my career at predicting. How does anyone get elected in a state with a 9% income tax, 7% sales tax and the highest property taxes in the nation? And Corzine spent $40 million of his own cash? Hell, I'd vote against a fool like that.
Congratulations Virginia!
Good luck with your Pat Robertson University grad.
Sorry to cut this short but somebody in this state has to go to work to pay the taxes.
