Turner wins in NYC
Republicans have scored an upset victory in a New York City House race that became a referendum on President Barack Obama's economic policies.
The Dems, including their press allies, would dearly love to ignore the role of policy towards Israel in this race. Respected ex-NYC mayor Koch campaigned for Turner on that basis.
Retired media executive and political novice Bob Turner defeated Democratic state Assemblyman David Weprin in a special election Tuesday to succeed Rep. Anthony Weiner, a seven-term Democrat who resigned in June after a sexting scandal.

The heavily Democratic district spanning parts of Queens and Brooklyn had never sent a Republican to the House. But frustration with the continued weak national economy gave Republicans the edge.

Turner has vowed to bring business practicality to Washington and push back on spending and taxes.
