And the Democrat takes the house seat in NY, for the first time since Civil War days. What's your point?

Congratulations for them. I wouldn't call it a "take over" since the state legislature remains Democratic.

Most amusing is when Christie is going to be arrested and forced to step down for corruption charges in a few months.
The reason Corzine lost is because NJ ******* hated Corzine, and they'd rather take a tubby guy who is under investigation for nepotism and a few other things than have Corzine as governor any more.

Obama's from Illinois. He knows as well as anyone that getting a Republican governor doesn't make it a red state on a federal level.

Joph,
Then why campaign for them?

Because blue is prettier than red. You're arguing the wrong thing.
Is it worse for the democrats that a republican is governor? Yes.
Does it make a difference/indicate a shift in politics/overthrow the race for the HoR in the future? No.
See? It can be a negative without being something REALLY bad. It would have been nice to win some governorships, but the legislature remains democratic, PLUS democrats picked up a seat in NY; which, I might add, was helped a bit by republican in-fighting.

Ok, take a piece of paper and on one end write "Completely worthless and no one cares". On the other end write "Critically important and earth-shattering".
Ok, now fill in the space in the middle and you'll have your answer.

12 years, genius. Just how fucking stupid are you? Yes, the long 8 year Democratic stranglehold on the NJ Gov office has finally ended. Free at last, free at last!!! The party of a state governor rarely has much to do with the state's electorate. Mitt Romney was the governor of MA.
That said, this was a good pick up for the GOP. Not worth losing the House seat in NY 23 because morons like you drove out an actual viable candidate in favor of losing.

It's odd that this statement of "fact" has been repeated over and over and over (By Pelosi even), yet it's blatantly false
The last time a Democrat represented the NY 23rd district was in 1993. Unless the Civil War happened a whole lot more recently than I recall, I suspect someone is playing games with redistricting effects to try to make something out of nothing.

This is funny coming from the guy constantly accusing us conservatives of being in "lockstep" with our party. You know "blindly partisan" and all that? Conservatives supported the more conservative candidate over the Republican party and you're still criticizing? Inconsistent much?

That's one way to read it, I guess. Throwing the position away in a fit of pique is another.
At any rate the NY seat had been Pubbie far, far longer than NJ has had a Dem governor.

16 years is "far far longer" than 12 years? Really?
One is a single district seat in a single state out of a 435 otherwise identical seats in the US house of Representatives. The other is the governorship of an entire state. Now admittedly, we are talking New Jersey here, but there's still only 50 of them, so that's something...

Geographic portions of the district hadn't had a Democratic House Rep since the mid 1800's but it's kind of blurred due to redistricting. NY-23 from 1993 isn't the same NY-23 from 2009.

What was funny was this quote from Wikipedia:
lolWiki's entry for the 23rd District race wrote:
The 23rd had historically been one of the more Republican districts in the Northeast. Some sources have reported that seat had been in Republican hands since 1873 but Wikipedia reports elsewhere that there have been 17 Democrats elected from this district since the Civil War, and some portions of the district--including the largest city, Watertown--hadn't been represented by a Democrat since 1851, when the Whig Party still existed.
Apparently Wikipedia is now its own cite

Here's the original paragraph as it was about 2 hours ago:

It is wiki after all... Apparently, fact checking is hard, even when the link is riiiiiiight there

Well, there ya go. The district seat has been in Grubby Pubbie mitts since 1871 and some portions of it for even longer. Again, redistricting makes a plain chart of who has represented "NY-23" rather meaningless for purposes of the "Since 1851" claims.
