See updates below! Polls are closed in the special election to replace disgraced Anthony Weiner in NY9. The Associated Press election results page is updated as results come in. Polls show the Republican, Bob Turner, with about a 6 point lead over Democrat David Weprin in this blue district. Ace called it for Turner hours...
Gee, I wonder if President Obama’s little jobs speech will do anything to help the Democrat running to replace Anthony Weiner in NY9. The election is next Tuesday, and polls show the Republican, Bob Turner is in the lead. Democrats are freaking out. The Other McCain has the scoop. There’s good reason for the...
Well, this couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. It looks like Eliot Spitzer’s chickens are coming home to roost. Client 9 was New York’s attorney general, (and then Governor if you happen to live in a cave) threatening and shaking down companies to enhance his resume while visiting hookers on the side. Now he’s...
The folks at the New York Daily News weren’t impressed with either candidate running to replace Rep. Anthony Weiner. During a Q&A session, Bob Turner, the Republican said New York City should block and Mosque being built at Ground Zero. While that may draw some criticism, the Democrat, David Weprin took the cake for...
I received an email today from a reader in Hernando County, Florida about Jeff Stabins, his county commissioner. Stabins is from Watertown, NY and plans to resign before the end of his term so he can move back to New York to run against Rep. Bill Owens in NY23. According to the reader the...
Democrat Dan Maffei was an incumbent defeated by Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle last year even though he raised more than three times as much money as she did, much of it from left wing special interest groups. He’s a favorite of the Washington insider crowd. He claims he’s getting back in the race because...
You know things are bad for the Democrats when their guy is in a statistical tie with his rival in a district with a 3 to 1 registration advantage. In the race for the seat in New York’s 9th Congressional District, the candidates who want to replace the disgraced Anthony Weiner are hearing quite...
This is surprising. A new poll shows Obama has a negative approval rating in New York, of all places. Not to worry, though, the rich and famous still adore him and are willing to open their wallets to prove it. Some of them shelled out over $35,000 per person to schmooze with him before...
I know a few landowners in the Marcellus Shale region who probably don’t believe New York’s Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is looking out for their interests. They really want to lease their land, but with this moratorium on fracking they’re stuck waiting for something to happen. Tracy at One of Nine has the scoop:...
Even as Governor Cuomo tries to convince anyone who still might believe he is anything but a socialist in moderate’s clothing that New York is “Open for Business,” companies big and small around the state are getting charged an additional $20 plus per employee. The money to be paid by the already over-burdened and struggling private sector is ostensibly...
A comment left on an earlier post caught my attention. I’m assuming the guy who wrote it did so from a smart phone, he said he works in the gas industry. I cleaned it up a tad but in no way changed what he told us about shale drilling. There is very little impact...
This is interesting. Ed Koch, a Democrat, is telling voters in Anthony Weiner’s old district to vote for the Republican in the race to send a message to President Obama on Israel. The New York Post has the story: In “a shot across President Obama’s bow,” Democratic former Mayor Ed Koch yesterday urged voters...
I read this article in the Post Standard yesterday and couldn’t help but shake my head, nearly to the point of whiplash. Here it is in a nutshell: This woman, a Democrat official, says her “private sector” dealings have nothing to do with politics, all the while her for-profit enterprises capitalize off of government environmental...
As people continue to flee the high taxes and regulations of New York, state lawmakers are redrawing the state’s congressional district maps because we lost two seats. There’s speculation that NY25, represented by Ann Marie Buerkle, is on the chopping block. If one was to simply look at the congressional district map of New...
