David Weprin, a mostly progressive democrat running for Anthony Weiner's seat in NY might go down in defeat unless Progressives start ramping up their efforts to get him elected.
He's losing because he's in an orthodox Jewish Community and Ed Koch (who's still highly popular in that district) has been running a campaign against Obama due to his middle east policy, in which he thinks he's been too tough on Israel.
This is insane. This district is 60% democratic and Weprin might lose because he's (well he's a horrible candidate too, there's no question) a pawn of Ed Koch's in some sort of power game with Obama? And who will this district put in his place? A crazy, Paul Ryan Republican?
Let's do what we can to help him, PPP is in the district tonight and look what they found: PPP Polling Twitter Page
My pretty straight forward take on the first night of our NY-9 poll: Dems in BIG trouble. It deserves the caps.
If David Weprin wins this race, he's going to win it in the final 5 days.
Here's David Weprin's webpage. Let's phonebank, knock on doors and get out the vote. Let's not sit here and lie around while the GOP/Ed Koch do this to us. Let's keep this seat dammit!
