Weiner's district was the obvious choice, since it would ease the embarrassment. And frankly, they never thought that a Repub could ever win that district. It's always been Dem. I mean this is Schumer and Geraldine Ferraro's district and you'd have to go back to the 20's to find a Repub. Btw,none of this is written in stone yet and at this point are pure speculation and hearsay.BevfromNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953050916932306270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-41102209584356904952011-09-10T22:51:36.700-04:002011-09-10T22:51:36.700-04:00Bev, I thought the Republicans controlled the Sena...Bev, I thought the Republicans controlled the Senate in NY?

Staten Island has been a long standing Republican area in NYC. However both the 9th and 29th districts (now Republican) are slated to be 'reapportioned'. The 29th District was lately represented by Eric Massa who you may remember liked to tickle his male aides. He was forced to resign right before the 2010 election to "spend more time with his family". He was replaced by Republican Tom Reed.BevfromNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953050916932306270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-89097096249223223292011-09-10T21:58:29.766-04:002011-09-10T21:58:29.766-04:00Bev, I've been cautious about this one, seeing...Bev, I've been cautious about this one, seeing as how we've been burned in so many recent elections, but I'm starting to feel good about this one.

We have or had a Deputy Mayor who lived full time in D.C.<br /><br />If Turner can keep it up, he may pull it off. Especially since Obama's Jobs speech fell flat. It is also a heavily conservative Jewish/Pro Israel district and Obama has really proved that he has no problem throwing Israel under the bus.BevfromNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953050916932306270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-76219498186422861372011-09-10T16:11:48.317-04:002011-09-10T16:11:48.317-04:00He doesn't even live in the district?!
