Lowey Looks to 12th Term; Russell Fares Better than Last Run

Nita Lowey has 62 percent of the vote with more than half of districts reporting.

Jim Russell is used to being a sacrificial candidate in a district the state GOP considers unwinnable.

In 2008, incumbent Democrat Nita Lowey took a lopsided race with 68 pecent of the vote.

But there's an interesting story in the numbers playing out tonight – with almost 60 percent of the districts reporting, Russell is on course to outperform his 2008 effort by six percent.

That's surprising, considering Russell's campaign has been marked by controversy ever since a Politico columnist dug up a decade-old essay in which the candidate endorsed eugenics, among other things.

If the numbers hold through all remaining districts, the question is: Why did Russell make a slightly larger dent in Lowey's armor despite the scandal that plagued his campaign?

Two possible answers: Voters were casting their ballots down party lines, or – a more likely explanation – that six percent slide could represent the residual backlash against incumbents and the rise of the Tea Party. In other words, maybe any candidate would have fared better against Lowey this time around, given the national climate.

While the rhetoric and blacklash has been amplified elsewhere, with the exception of Carl Paladino's campaign, it's been muted here in New York. Lowey, who will go on to a 12th term, was never really threatened by the anti-incumbent or anti-Democrat sentiment sweeping other states.

So perhaps it's a wise choice that the state GOP didn't invest its resources in opposing Lowey this time around – if the Tea Party/anti-incumbent sentiment only sliced off six percent of Lowey's tally while other Democrats lost their seats to the same wave, it's difficult to imagine Lowey would be vulnerable, even if her opponent didn't have his own controversy to deal with.

Being happy–is it good for the Jews? "Before Professor Dershowitz accused me of being an anti-Semite (news to me), I was a happy person. Since then, I'm still a happy person". –Michael Santomauro

An antisemite condemns people for being Jews, I am not an antisemite.--Michael Santomauro

Most of us are mentally trapped to think Jewish. Actually, it is safe to say that virtually every mainstream publication or or other type of media organ is "nothing more than a screen to present chosen views." The great battle over the last century has been a battle for the mind of the Western peoples, i.e., non-Jewish Euros. The chosen won it by acquiring control over essentially the complete mainstream news, information, education and entertainment media of every type, and using that control to infuse and disseminate their message, agenda and worldview, their way of thinking, or rather the way they want us to think. Since at least the 1960s this campaign has been effectively complete. Since then they have shaped and controlled the minds of all but a seeming few of us in varying degree with almost no opposition or competition from any alternative worldview. So now most of us are mentally trapped in the box the chosen have made for us, which we have lived in all our lives. Only a few have managed to avoid it or escape it, or to even sometimes see outside of it, and so actually "think outside of the (Jewish) box." --Michael Santomauro

Peace is patriotic!
