Last night a special election was held in New York's 9th Congressional District, the seat once held by former Congressman Anthony Weiner (D. NY). This district had been won by a Democrat every two years since 1923. In a race seen as a proxy fight for the presidential race (though it's still too early in my opinion to go that far), Republican Bob Turner won the special election. This district is heavily composed of Orthodox Jews and President Obama's complete disrespect of Israel likely weighed heavily in the election.
