NY Special Election

News from my old stomping ground:
(CNN) – With New York's special election to replace former Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner, who resigned amidst scandal, less than five weeks away, a new poll finds the race narrowing with a six point lead for the Democratic candidate.

According to the Siena Research Institute survey released Wednesday, Democrat David Weprin leads with 48 percent of the vote, while Republican businessman Bob Turner follows behind at 42 percent in what was once presumed a solidly safe district for Democrats.
I spent my years as a teenager living in the Brooklyn part of this Congressional District. In those days, very capable of voting against their own best interests. Would not be surprised if that were still the case.
