How the media changed the narrative of the NY-20 race,
from one about the ability of Bling-Bling Steele's organization skills

Republican insiders tell Political Wire that a no confidence vote on RNC Chairman Michael Steele is likely to be called after the NY-20 special election on March 31 -- regardless of whether Republicans win the seat or not.

to one about President Obama's economic policies (2 months into turning the liner). :eyes:

But what usually would be a local contest with little national interest has turned in part into an early referendum on President Obama, his polices to jump-start the economy and the reputations of the Democratic and Republican parties.

Presto Chango!

3. Just saw a Twitter that read:
Edited on Tue Mar-31-09 04:01 PM by jefferson_dem
"Got a look at NY-20 numbers I trust. GOP upset possible. Don't bet the farm, but..."

Isn't that cool? NY-20 is 41% R, 27% D, 32% I but it would be "an upset" if the R wins.
