"It’s a very difficult district for Democrats,” said Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, noting its Democratic margins there tend to be the second lowest of all the districts in New York City.This is a quote that Blogger Ed Morrissey embedded in a blog post on the New York Ninth.
Well, it has been an admirable streak of improvisation by the Democrats, going back to the Presidency of Warren G Harding. On the other hand, per the blog post by Captain Ed, the Democrats wanted to send a message to President Obama, one that neither Ms Wasserman Schultz nor Mayor Bloomberg wish to hear.
“It’s not the end of the Obama administration and the Republican resurgence,” the mayor said. “These tend to be local races.”And the Mayor is correct. But, all those local races add up to national consequences in even-numbered years.
