In a special election today, the Republicans lost a U.S. House seat that I just can't believe they lost.
New York's 26th District has been held by a Republican for decades. But in the special election to replace the scandal-tarred Christopher Lee, it's now flipped to the Democrats by a somewhat decisive margin.
To give you an idea of what a shocker this is, I would have been less surprised if, say, Geoff Davis was defeated.
Hopefully, the new occupant of this seat will act like the Democrats used to act before 1996, instead of like a DLC rubber-stamp.

An upset in the upstate

The only reason they won was because of a split vote, much like how you complained after this happened to the Democrats in Hawaii.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure this one seat will make a huge difference, though.
I also note that Scott Brown was elected by a "somewhat decisive margin".
You acted like a crybaby. Good times.
