    It would be a great boost if we could win this district back for the GOP! It's not as relentlessly liberal as you might think. It only voted for Obama over McCain by a margin of 55%-44% and McCain did very poorly in New York overall so I think it's a definite pick-up opportunity for the GOP and conservatives. For those who didn't know, Bob Turner the Republican candidate for the NY-9th opposes SSM.

    Its about time some of these politicians who think the public isn't paying attention when they slip through a bill to benefit immoral acts learn their lesson. America is founded on strong family values and the attempts of politicians to change that won't be tolerated.

    How would it be a great boost? What did winning GOP control of the NY Senate in 2010 accomplish for the defense of marriage, exactly?

    Weprin's district is a Democratic district, and it should be represented by a Democrat who shares his/her constituents' values.
