I heard that there is a poll out showing Weprin and Turner tied at 42% each. Any truth to this? Is it from a reputable pollster?

Uh, this isn't the United Kingdom. Once again, a heavy hint to cut it out.

Dov Hikind endorses Turner to keep the momentum building.

Does this mean much in the district? From my own, minimal research on the guy, he seems somewhat prominent (and asinine. He's one of the clowns that said that "The Passion of the Christ" would cause anti-semetic and bigoted rioting. How'd that work out, Dov?).

Let's have a moment of silence in memory of the dick that made this special election possible.


Thank you.


In all seriousness, I'm still not sold that we'll win this.

I was phonebanking for Weprin for two hours today. We definitely aren't winning this election.

Explain.

I heard that he's "helping" him during the final push. If true, our thanks to you, sir.

Is Turner actually popular though? I thought I remember some people here saying that this race was over for the GOP when that City Councilman passed on running and Turner got the nomination. I also thought that Turner was pretty damn conservative.

Hey, is there a heavy Orthodox Jew community in this district? Also, has Gay Marriage resonated as an issue in this Special?

I'm predicting a 51% to 48% win for Turner.

anyone still think this has nothing to do with marriage.

But does it have to do with gay marriage?

I don't understand this tactic. Have all but two of them go knock on doors somewhere (not that I mind Weprin wasting his people...). Already have people knocking? Ok. Add some more. Or have them do phone calls.

We had a major City Council primary in the district just south of mine this past May. Both of the Dems had a dozen people at almost every polling place. They were just huddled around, with one or two of them really working. I understand strength in numbers but this is just a waste.

Reports from a friend of mine on the ground say that Turner's staffers are expecting this one to be officially finished very soon.

This is starting to look actively embarrassing.

January 20, 2009 was such a long time ago though.

Over two hundred precincts in in Queens and the gap is narrowing there. Is this one finished yet?

Were the red avatars banned tonight? I haven't seen many of them around these parts.

ITT: Republicans getting ahead of themselves. Remember this?



Yeah, didn't I totally call this several pages ago. Yeah, great choice for spin. "We won a seat...a few months ago!"

The point, you have missed it.

You won a seat thanks, in large part, due to a fake Tea Party candidate taking a good chunk of the vote. Unfortunately for you, the SWP candidate in NY 9 got a whopping...eh...0% of the vote.

Has Anthony Weiner tweeted his thoughts on this race yet?
