What are the projections of the NY election? It looks like that will be the test case.

Not so good for the GOP:

The Wall Street Journal has weighed in on the divisive New York special election, blaming state Republican leaders for creating a mess by nominating Dede Scozzafava — despite her “liberal record.” She supports gay marriage, President Obama’s stimulus plan and so many tax increases that she’s to the left of her Democratic opponent, the paper says.

Scozzafava’s record has driven so many Republicans to the conservative candidate in the race that it has become a three-way race, with the possibility of a Democrat winning the GOP-leaning 23rd Congressional District.

The editorial concludes: “A defeat would teach Republicans that running candidates who believe in nothing will keep them in the minority for years to come.”
