So, is an Islamophobic gop going to win Weiner's seat tomorrow?

Bob Turner sent out these flyers to voters in NY District 2 last week..

Quote:It is important to note that several Republicans like Gen. Colin Powell, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), and Ted Olson — whose wife died in the attacks — support the construction of the Islamic Center. They join most religious leaders, Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans, and families of the 9/11 victims in support.

There's also a race in NV 9th District tomorrow where only republicons have won since 1980 and the "media" online is calling both of them a referendum on President Obama.

I just started to begin to understand it today from a blip on Benen's blog in Campaign news..

I followed some links and came to the conclusion that many people in Weiner's former District are Orthodox Jews who do not like President Obama's policy on Israel. I wonder if they like their Social Security?

They say it is a close race, I don't know. Hopefully the voters will not allow another hater in congress.

I hate to say this, but many here wanted to see Rep. Weiner step down.

All I can say is, be careful - very careful - what you wish for.

I just wish Weiner hadn't been such a weiner so his stepping down never would have been an issue.

Don't hate to say it. I stand by that..Weiner did it to himself..this is on Weiner not those who didn't respect his lying when he got caught by asshole breitbart.

Weiner twittered himself right out of a job.

I was thinking the other day about where are those in the Democratic Party who could take it to the Republicans like Weiner did. We could use a bit more testosterone in the Democratic party.

Yup, we have a habit of losing our best and brighest - often with help from our own side.
