In 2010 the Democratic candidate in the New York's 26th Congressional District got just 26 percent of the vote. Even in the very good Democratic year of 2008, the Democratic nominee got just 40.5 percent. Last night Democrat Kathy Hochul won NY 26 with 47% of the vote. Her message: "Republicans have proposed a budget that will end Medicare but keep subsidies for Oil companies and tax breaks for the wealthy, and (her opponent) Jane Corwin supported that".

This is a CD that has not had a Democratic Representative since Lyndon Johnson was President...
