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.

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.

Let them stay in denial.

Dems will regain the House and the GOP will resume its death spiral.

People want MORE government not less.

I can't wait to see how Boofer spins this.

I guess that you can tho...
