Race for Weiner's Old Seat Could Turn on Jewish Votes for Catholic Republican
By Judson Berger
Published September 09, 2011

The race to replace disgraced politician Anthony Weiner in a heavily Democratic and heavily Jewish district is surprisingly close, as the GOP candidate makes inroads with voters by turning the race into a referendum on President Obama's policies on Israel and the economy.

With days to go before the Sept. 13 special election, Republican businessman Bob Turner is six points up over Democratic Assemblyman David Weprin in a new poll, though the two have been within a few points of one another for weeks.

The edge for Turner wouldn't be too unusual except for the fact that registered Democrats outnumber Republicans in the Brooklyn-Queens district by about three-to-one.

Though Weprin has a fundraising advantage and racked up support from many big-name Democrats, including New York's two U.S. senators, Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer, as well as Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, Turner has managed to stay competitive in part by keeping Obama's policies front-and-center in the race.

I read a link, maybe from Drudge, telling that the Democrat can't even vote for himself. He lives in a different district. I guess that's OK in meeting qualifications to hold the office!

It is in NY (city ) anyway. But he said he will go with his mother when she votes. So he will be in the district when someone votes for him.
