In this article it talks about how since the first time since 1923 in New York a republican was voted a congressmen for distric 9. Historicaly in district 9 democrats outnumber republicans 3 to 1 this was a huge win and can be a preview too whats to come in the 2012 election. Republicans are leading and are favorited in both of the races right now. This is outstanding for republicans. The reason this happened is because Anthony Weiner resigned because of the mess he caused on himself. Usually a democrat would be in this spot not a republican. It seems like the republicans are going to take over. The new republican that took over the democrats spot is Bob Turner. He has a lead of 6 percentage points. I feel pretty good about this happening. I just think its good that republicans are finally up there since 1923.
