The only good democrat…
Democrat Dan Maffei conceded today to Republican challenger Ann Marie Buerkle in the NY 25 race.
Auburnpub.com reported:
The 25th Congressional District race is over.
Rep. Dan Maffei conceded the race to Republican challenger Ann Marie Buerkle, Buerkle’s campaign confirmed Tuesday afternoon.
A press conference is planned for 4 p.m.
With most of the votes counted except for a few hundred challenged ballots, Buerkle won with 567 votes over one-term incumbent Maffei.
Maffei issued a statement this afternoon thanking the residents of the 25th for the opportunity to serve.
“I served every day honored to live in a community where a shy kid of modest means from a proud Syracuse family and a graduate of the Syracuse public schools could grow up to earn the trust of his community to represent you in Congress,” Maffei said in the statement. “And I learned from you every day, listening to your stories and working tirelessly on your behalf.”
This makes 63 pick-ups for the Republican Party and 242 seats in the House, the most they’ve held in more than 60 years.
The Left Coast Rebel has more on the race.

The Republicans had better not repeat their previous incompetent performance from the last time they held the majority. I kinda enjoyed playing “Whack-a-Pol” at this last election, and I still have my “whacker” handy.
