Republican Ousts Democratic County Exec in NY’s Westchester

November 4, 2009 by B. Daniel Blatt

Just watched Michael Barone on FoxNews and he alerts us to really big news in New York’s Westchester County.   Republican Rob Astorino ousted incumbent Andy Spano with 57.65 of the vote.  Obama carried the county last fall with 63.39% of the vote.  Astorino ran more than twenty points ahead of John McCain.

Seems Republicans are once again relevant in socially liberal suburbs.  They’re going to need to sound a lot like New Jersey’s Govenor-elect who also ran ahead of John McCain in those once-Republican suburbs.

    have been trying to get meaningful results on NY23 and it seems that it is too close to call. Even though Owens is ahead at the moment the counting is slow because of broken machines. It is not over just yet.

    Socially-liberal Maine is rejecting Gay Marriage and Socially-ultra-liberal Washington is in a cliff hanger as to whether they will reject civil unions. The accept votes are leading, but the reject side is catching up.
