Title: NY 26: Democrats should thank Paul Ryan

There is no way for Republicans to spin away Democrat Kathy Hochul’s victory in New York’s deeply red 26th congressional district. This is a big setback for Paul Ryan’s budget and a warning for Republican incumbents everywhere. This is simply not a district a Republican should have lost. Conservative overreach has clearly woken up Democrats and has gone down badly with independents.

The GOP can’t claim that Republican Jane Corwin lost because of a vote split with Tea Party candidate Jack Davis. With 87 percent of the precincts in, Hochul had 48 percent to Corwin’s 42 percent. Davis got just 9 percent, and the Green Party candidate picked up 1 percent. Let’s assume Hochul drops a point when the missing precints, which are mostly from Republican areas, are in. Republicans can’t claim that all of the votes that went to Davis, a former Democrat, would have gone to Corwin.

I live in this district and I could tell you that this article is complete BS. But you're a brain dead democrat zombie, so I might as well not waste my time.

The republican party is NY is a freaking joke, and all they wanted to do was find someone who could self-fund a campaign. They found that person in millionaire Corwin.

She clearly wasn't ready for prime time. She lost the election when her campaign manager tried to provoke Jack Davis into a fight, and it was caught on video. When the SHTF, she refused to fire him.

For her part, Hochul ran a good - albeit standard democrat BS campaign. You know, the usual "republicans are going to kill grandma" campaign. In this district with a high percentage of seniors, that resonated.

But Hochul is a very good public servant. Although I probably disagree with her politics on every issue, I've had personal dealings with the Erie County DMV (her responsibilty) and she really has turned that agency around.

So there are two reasons for the election result.

But be sure and watch MSNBC for your talking points. Moron.

Actually, some of the stories mirror what you said. That Corwin didn't believe early enough that people would take the Medicare situation seriously.

I also read that Hochul had a more personable style and wouldn't take it so personally if a non local does not pick up the nuances of things in that race you are able to see.

For example, I know first hand how stock raving insane Art Robinson who ran against Pete DeFazio is.

It was the strangest congressional race here I've seen. And I bet you would fine hard to believe some of the things I know about it.

these are the same arguments the Democrats made after Scott Brown won in Boston, arguing that their own candidate was incompetent. The reality is that the Ryan Medicare plan is now dead.

Yes it is...but its designed to distract from the ugly reality Democrats face next year.

A failed one term President.

They can't run on anything of substance. Economy? Not hardly. Deficit reduction as Owe-bama promised? That would be laugh out loud funny if not for the fact he appears either oblivious to the danger, or alternatively, seems determined to destroy the country via bankruptcy.

Funny how they don't want to talk about that race in Wisconsin, isn't it?
