NY-9: It's Ugly, If You're on Team Pelosi

Sienna poll: Republican Turner leads Weprin Grade Stupid by 6.

("Weprin Grade Stupid" thanks to Gnu Breed. Perfect. This is the guy who had to guess at the size of the nation debt in a New York Daily News interview, and then guessed four trillion.)

Weprin is all-in on Mediscare. It isn't working as well as it needs it to, obviously.

Usually we just look at the Independents but here, in mostly-Democratic New York, a decent candidate could probably get by if he was pulling all of the Democrats. Weprin isn't, though, because there are a lot of Orthodox Jews here, and they're not fans of Obama's Israel policy. Or, I'm assuming, his economic record. Update: And gay marriage. Weprin voted for it as an assemblyman, and that's very unpopular in this district.

PPP is also doing polling. They haven't released the results yet, but their blooger has tweeted about the data as it's coming in:

My pretty straight forward take on the first night of our NY-9 poll: Dems in BIG trouble. It deserves the caps.

Ladd Ehlinger, Jr. produced a viral ad for the contest, posted below.

Thanks to Charles and CAC for the poll tips. Both tipped me last night to PPP, and then CAC tipped me to Siena this morning.
