Hochul beat Republican Corwin in the NY 26 District congressional race,
a Democratic win in an overwhelmingly Republican/conservative district,
according to The Associated Press.

A tea party candidate scored in the single digits. The GOP said he would
have to score in the double digits to have a real impact on the
Republican's chances.

The Republicans spent an estimated $9 million to hold onto this seat.
Karl Rove was involved.

The biggest single issue apparently was the support of the Republican
candidate for the Republican plan to eliminate Medicare. Corwin
supported that plan until this weekend, when she flip-flopped.

Wow... I guess the Rapture is back on!

My favorite quote from the aftermath:

“Republicans like to pretend that they are doing something noble,
something fair – in the interest of asking all Americans to sacrifice,”
said Alixandria Lapp, executive director of the pro-Democratic House
Majority PAC, which invested heavily in the race. “They’re not asking
oil and gas companies to sacrifice. They’re not asking multimillionaires
to sacrifice. Medicare’s going to be a very important part of that
overall message and a fundamental referendum for the 2012 election.”
