NY-23 is New York Congressional District that has been Republican and should be Republican for as long as it last.
There is an election on Tuesday with a New York Democrat and New York Republican (Read: Moderate) and a New York Conservative (read Wing Nut)
Along the Way to the Republican winning like usual the Tea Partiers (baggers, you choose) decided a New York Republican wasn't good enouth. Sarah Palin et al gets behind the Conservative candidate. The Republican Candidate drops out. The Democrat is gracious the Conservative Candidate is a dick. Now the the Republican Candidate is endorsing the Democrat.
Read for a local's perspective.
"What happened in NY-23 is that a bunch of confederate pukes came in and told a perfectly nice, socially moderate, Republican Albany hack (and I mean that affectionately) to go get bent.
And, and as a New Yorker, that pisses me off."
As you can imagine there is great speculation on how this will play out on Tuesday. The above quote sums up what I think and hope will be the general reaction in New York.
