The New York 9th Congressional District elected a Republican yesterday. This district has elected Democrats for 90 years, including the likes of Geraldine Ferraro, U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer, and Anthony Weiner. The district also has a large number of Jewish voters and the election became the focus of a backlash against President Obama's Israel (as in anti-Israel) policy, with former Democratic Mayor of New York Ed Koch endorsing the Republican candidate. Hmm, I wonder if this means anything for 2012?
