From City Hall:
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is said to be in panic mode over the prospect of David Weprin losing to Bob Turner in the special election for the Ninth Congressional District. An accumulation of gaffes, bad press and too-close-for-comfort poll numbers have fueled this perception. Even House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is said to be raising money for the campaign, though has yet to commit to headlining a fundraiser.
As one of the lone special elections in an otherwise dreary political year, the race is being held up as a bellwether for everything from President Obama’s re-election efforts, to the administration’s policies toward Israel, to the public’s fears about the economy, to gay marriage. But for many New York Democrats, the race is much simpler: an unexpectedly tight race in a reliably Democratic district.
“The DCCC is definitely panicking,” said one New York Democratic operative. “Even Nancy Pelosi is raising money to avoid the embarrassment of Weprin losing.”

Weprin is weird
Check out his facal expressions
Is he on meds?
Away with the do nothing Weprin dynasty!!!
i just saw the campaign advertisement depicting Weprin supporting the building of the Muslim Mosque near the 9/11 site of the WTC.
Weprin must be nuts ?
Career politio David Weprin is riding the coatails of a loser President and is running in a district that is voter savvy.
Weprin is also a professional POL one who runs for what ever office there is without regard as to why only that he should run for office because it's there. Remember Joe Crowley runs the Democratic party machine in this area - he is the emperor.
That's just what that district needs an anti social security, anti medicare, anti union, anti immigrant Republican to be there representive. And I though people in New York were smarter then their teavangelical country bumpkins.
David Weprin is always scared.
It's way past the time to break up all of these complacent, sluggish....THUGGISH....political dynasties like Weprin, Stavisky and the king of them all....ACKERMAN!
If they want job security....let it not be at our expense.
Vote all these bums out and lets get some fresh air!
The SS play is bogus; its a cheap scare tactic to get the senior vote. Dont fall for Weprins cheapness.
Weprin knows how to stimulate the economy! Some printer and the USPS is doing well.I've gotten over 10 seperate mailings so far....right into the recycle bin.....
Naw, give the district what the rest of Queens has, a party hack that listens to "Honest Joe," a swell fellow who wouldn't even let his family be raised in this dump and is thanked for it by having the appreciative people reelect him in a Roman Triumph for that effort.
And I though people in Queens were smarter then ... well ... ahhh .... give me a few minutes ... I think I can finish this ....
Weprin is a leftist in a conservative district. That says it all.
Hold on Ari, get Jake over here to adjust my wig, this rain is very annoying.
"Social Security and Medicare, once we lose it, Don't ever expect to get it back." Vote Republican next week in District 9.
Stupid Joe Crowely Thug / Troll said: "That's just what that district needs an anti social security, anti medicare, anti union, anti immigrant Republican to be there representive. And I though people in New York were smarter then their teavangelical country bumpkins."
Queens Voter said in response: "I'll take a Pro-Israel pro-life Republican over a corrupt machine hack anyday of the week until a real Democrat comes along."
Sounds like a planted story to keep Turner supporters home. Let your voice be heard VOTE
It's time for a change!
Weprin , if it were not for his father , Saul Weprin , would have actually had to gone out & gotten a real job.
He's an old Politcal Hack.
I'm voting for Turner.
@Queens Voter, name caller. Have you check the price of cat food lately? You better. When your SS and Medicare have been taken away by the Republicans, you may have to learn dumpster diving behind the Hindu Food store to eat. Good luck. And as far as Pro Israel, pro life, yeah that's whats really important today. If the Republicans steal another election in 2012. America will become the first Fascist world power of the 21st Century.
Career politio David Weprin is riding the coatails of a loser President and is running in a district that is voter savvy.
Voter savvy: well part true, elements of it are in Brooklyn, but remember, when his sex scandal hit the news, they went to Queens (where else?) and the people were very clear in their support of that nice young boy.
Oh to be a pol in Queens.
I eat kat food all der time. It poomps you up for line dantzing at der senior centers. Hahr hahr.
This is why we must stop all of these POLs and have them change the worst election law on the books. the special election law. We need primarys for special elections and public financing with no outside money involved whatsoever. Until this happens we will NEVER have a true democracy and we will just have to put up with all of these crooks...
The lobbyists control our government. It's all about money not what is best for the people. Our politicians are bought and owned.
"If the Republicans steal another election in 2012. America will become the first Fascist world power of the 21st Century."
"Steal"? How? By getting more votes than the other guy? I don't need to check out the price of cat food, I don't own a cat.
Hope all this rain washed the stupidity out of the air in Queens. Dump Weprin once and for all. It's time to eliminate all these career politicians and start from scratch. The Dems are running scared, so I think I'll take a chance and vote for Turner. Sounds like he's a threat to the politics as usual politicians in Queens.
"Weprin is weird

----------------------------------
"Facal"? Certainement, un faux pas, vous agreez?
I'm sure the first anonymous poster meant "fecal" expressions.
BECUZ WEPRIN IS SHITTING IN HIS PANTS. (Oy weh! What a mess! And what a shtink!)
It's really funny reading all the pro-republican posts here.
There probably isn't -one- person here with enough assets to be worth anything to the people who actually run the gop, yet all these scared old men are hoping for some "savior" to bring back Queens 1959.
So go ahead, vote one mo' time for the Gipper...It won't matter.
If David loses against Turner will they run his brother against Turner next time.
So we're back to scaring seniors they are going to lose Social Security and Medicare by voting for Turner. Is that all you got?
Oh no, you can play the class envy card.
Where does the cash come for the food stamps, the Medicaid, the Social Security, government employee pensions, and all the necessities of life for illegal immigrants?
It comes out of the pockets who work and pay taxes.
The Obama/Crowley/Weprin team gets the vote of the dependency class getting a free ride.
I hope there's enough people in NY who want government to stop its march to socialism in NY 9 to keep Weprin out.
The big problem with New York is its one party government. The Democrats have run Queens into the ground. It's natural for people who are fed up to look elsewhere. The reason the democrats rule Queens is because the same crap keeps running and getting elected and the newbies can't get on the ballot.
D.Weprin:SON of Saul, the 1975 forced buser,Albany democrat ,speaker of the assembly. liberal failed policy is in their DNA.
Fact: NO citizen over 50 years of age will be affected by
changes in the social security benefit plan. senior citizens do not have to worry.
Fact:if obamacare is executed fully in 2014,senior citizens will lose $500 Billion in medicare benefits,their doctors medical procedure prescribed will be given a thumbs down or thumbs up, by a government death panel ,the popular senior medical advantage program will be scrapped.
obamacare was voted into law by a majority DEMOCRAT, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATE ,SIGNED BY A DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT.
the law may be deemed unconstitutional soon ,or may be repealed by a majority of g.o.p./tea party conservatives, if you vote for a new president in 2012.
if not, all senior citizens have to worry about their lives under the DEMOCRAT LEADERSHIP.
their SOCIAL JUSTICE agenda is a sickness, and you will pay for it.
The posts aren't pro-Republican, they're anti-Democrat-machine. I hope Turner wins, and if he sucks, then I hope he loses the next election. If everyone voted like that, we'd live in a real Democracy.
"...I think I'll take a chance and vote for Turner. Sounds like he's a threat to the politics as usual..."
A REPUBLICAN is a fresh alternative to "politics as usual"!?
How about someone who's not a Republican nor a Democrat?
There probably isn't -one- person here with enough assets to be worth anything to the people who actually run the gop, yet all these scared old men are hoping for some "savior" to bring back Queens 1959.
Yes, all those wealthy people that the GOP salivates over! People such as Warren Buffet and Oprah Winfrey! The Republicans are lucky to have those 2 billionaires on their side! NOT!
The Democrats only have poor, struggling, working class stiffs - people like John Kerry, Jane Harman, Jay Rockefeller, Mark Warner, Frank Lautenberg, and Diane Feinstein!
I'm sure glad that John Kerry was able to rise up from his humble origins as a boot black and chimney sweep, to later become a Navy SEAL, and eventually become the most humble US Senator we've ever had! And he's so French looking too!
Because compared to that billionaire Republican (HA HA!) Warren Buffet, those millionaire Democrats are just middle class!
Dave: Joe, what if I lose? What do I do then?
Joe: Don't worry, Dave, you can always chauffeur my kids to school and soccer practice in Virginia. What size cap you wear? And those jodhpurs will look great on you.
I am 42. I dont believe I will ever collect social security. You can lash out at candidates from whichever party that say they support SS. Does the President or any candidate who pledge their support for SS, have a plan to keep it viable?
Joe: The tailor just called. You want your jacket with or without epaulets?
Just got a phone call from Turner's people.
They are playing the Jewish/Israel card.
Just lost my vote Bob.
Just caught a Weprin spot on cable TV yesterday. "Bob Turner is a stinky pants Tea Partier...CLICK" Bob Turner is Tea Party? He has my vote. Thanks, Weprin campaign!!!
Our household is voting for Turner. We are tired of the Do Nothing career politicians like the Crowleys.
Should have gone with Rory Lancman instead of playing this political favorites game.
Rory may have kept it for the Dems. Crowley's plan was rotten - Looks like NY09 isn't full of straight ticket voters afterall. They smell what's rotting under Weprin.
Weprin is clubhouse political hack and union stooge who richly deserves to lose.
Bob Turner worked for the Jerry Springer Show (see here: http://www.politico.com/blogs/davidcatanese/0911/Bob_Turner_created_Jerry_Springer_.html).
What a conservative! Just like everyone else. If you can work for that amoral show, you must really hold dear "conservative values."
