Nevada and New York

This past week Republican candidates won special Congressional elections in Nevada and New York. In New York 9, a district with 3-1 registered Democrats, Republicans won the open seat vacated by the resignation of Congressman Anthony Weiner. In analyzing the loss, DNC Chairwoman Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said that the district was a “tough” district for Democrats.

What do you think – was NY 9 a tough district for Democrats to win like Debbie thinks or was is it just the latest example of President Obama dragging his party and his candidates down?
