NY-26: You can stop reading political news for the next 18 months, the Democrats have already guaranteed their White House victory and House takeover. At least that is what the liberal media wants you to believe. The top Politico headline reads: “Democrats crack 2012 code” and goes on to report: “Democrats now appear to have found a political weapon that’s capable of evening out the fight: Medicare.” As if Democrats just started attacking Republicans over Medicare yesterday.
The reality is a bit different. Special elections like NY-26 are not good indicators of the political environment. In 2009, Democrats won specials in NY-23 and NY-20 and in 2010 they won the PA-12 special election. Sounds like a big Democratic wave year in 2010 right? Wrong.
