DCCC Conceding NV-2, Panicking In NY-9?
— Ace

Geraghty notes that the DCCC has withdrawn most of its troops from Nevada-2, voting on Tuesday, in an apparent sign that they don't think the Democrat can beat Amodei.

On the other hand, they're pouring a lot of money into NY-9, meaning they think they can win, but need to get those Democrats red hot to vote.

1 Jeebus - no one loves dems any more. What happened?

2 Sign of things to come?

3 Good. Spend that our money dems.

Posted by: Barbarian at September 08, 2011 01:02 PM (EL+OC)

4 Something tells me NY-9 will come down to a 300-vote difference, after which 2000 absentee ballots will all show up with a vote for the Dem. GOP will not contest.

6 We need to have a few special elections, with 12 people deciding on how long to send some of the dems to prison.

From an email:

TONIGHT, Sep 8th!!! 5:45PM-6:30PM
Jewish Get Out the Vote Rally for Bob Turner at Arons Kissena Farms 72-15 Kissena Blvd, Flushing 11367
All are welcome! Come meet with members of the Turner team and rally together to start our final push until September 13th. Assemblyman Dov Hikind is scheduled to appear

8 Um - haven't a lot of the Dem powers endorsed the opposition?

Posted by: Oldcat at September 08, 2011 01:05 PM (z1N6a)

Hopefully if the Dem does win, he wont be the frothing jerk he's replacing. But maybe Ã˜'s 10th jobs speech might cause the Dems to lose interest in voting and we pick up a seat.

10 ace, you think it would be OK to place the entire contents of the email in a comment?

It includes HQ Address & Phone

11 I'm donating all the proceeds of my next single, "I'm A RINO Stoned Cowboy", to the Dems in NY-9.

And remember, you can't spell Scarborough without "ugh".

Posted by: joey scarborough at September 08, 2011 01:05 PM (Ou4YC)

12 turner should win. but you never know about "dirty tricks" from the other side.

It won't matter though cause they have to get rid of two districts, one up state and one down state and this will be the down state one. but that doesn't mean turner won't be a positive during his time of service.

Posted by: cantankerous at September 08, 2011 01:06 PM (k1rwm)

13 Hmmmm...maybe me and some of my friends should show up and shows em hows to vote and shit.

"Stoned Cowboy" sounds like some kinda move.

15 If the DCCC were smart, they'd buy Obama's time slot and broadcast the Packers-Saints pre-game tonight in NY.

Posted by: t-bird at September 08, 2011 01:06 PM (FcR7P)

16 Apparently New Yorkers might not be too stupid to only vote for a name. Guess that's just another stupid prediction down the tubes.

Posted by: buzzion at September 08, 2011 01:08 PM (GULKT)

17 Sorry. I'm out of pudding, Dr Varno. There's been a shortage in the stores around here for some reason.

Just as well. I've been finding short, bristly brown fur hairs in the singles I've been buying lately. I wonder what that's all about.

Posted by: joey scarborough at September 08, 2011 01:09 PM (Ou4YC)

18 Cue Greg with a poll from the Parump Patriot of 28 people at Denny's off Highway 160 that shows Amodei losing by 4.

Posted by: weft cut-loop at September 08, 2011 01:09 PM (s1vtf)

19 I predict Turner will win.

Posted by: ParisParamus at September 08, 2011 01:09 PM (RShGI)

20 Even if the GOP candidate doesn't win he made the Dems spend money on what should be a safe seat. Not as much of a win as taking away the seat, but still a win.

Posted by: joncelli at September 08, 2011 01:10 PM (RD7QR)

21 YES!!!

23 I guess the Dems picked the wrong election cycle to pour all that money down the rathole in Wisconsin...

If they're having to spend like crazy to win a special election in Queens and Brooklyn, they are seriously up shit creek.

29 A more pressing matter: Has Obama made his Week 1 NFL Picks?

Posted by: State Controlled Media at September 08, 2011 01:18 PM (WCm02)

30 The dems are taking the situation serious now. You can see it or rather smell the stench of desperation. I think if we can win in NY, we could see the implosion begin, as pols finally cut their moorings from the DV OBAMA before it goes under and drags them with it.

I figured I'd be as confusing as your question to me. I wasn't remarking on your lack of reading comprehension. Rather the one that doesn't realize they're being mocked.

I was in the car a while ago and heard a Paulbot from Oregon call the Schnitt Show. Dude sounded stoned (surprise!). When Todd asked him about Paul not having a problem with Iran having a nuke, the guy said, "Yeah, but that's only one negative thing."

I nearly pounded my head on the steering wheel.

54 Yeah, but that's only one negative thing.

Yeah it's just one minor issue. You should have asked him.

I saw my first Weprin ad today, a cartoony ad that tries to link Turner to the tea party, scare seniors about Social Security and play up Weprin's endorsement from the New York Times. Weprin and the DCCC made a mid-six-figure ad buy, so his ads should be in heavy rotation through next Tuesday.
