“The New York election was bizarre, just totally bizarre,” said Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.). “It was about Israel, it was about gay marriage, it was about all sorts of local issues. It was not a referendum on anything outside of that district.”

I wasn't aware that gay marriage and matters related to Israel only happened in NY 9, Congressman.
I don't think Obama and his policies had anything at all to do with the GOP win in this seat.
I suggest Obama and the Democrats ignore any impulse to change direction and continue upon the path to peace and prosperity that they have so firmly placed the nation upon.
By staying true to their current policies, I am sure 2012 will be a resounding victory.
