Weiner's Congressional Seat May be Lost Because of Same Sex Marriage Law

In an odd way New York's marriage equality (the politically correct euphemism for same sex) law may have repercussions in the special election to replace Anthony (The Tweeter) Weiner. The Democratic candidate David Weprin is an Orthodox Jew who voted for the marriage equality law. A sizable number of voters in the 9th district are also Orthodox Jews and Weprin's vote is not going down well. Fellow New York assembly member Dov Hikind, among the most outspoken opponents of marriage equality in the state legislature, said he would not endorse David Weprin and the New York Post is reporting he may endorse the Republican candidate, Bob Turner. Hikind is also an Orthodox Jew and a Democrat. Former New York Mayor Ed Koch, a Democrat, has already endorsed Turner and has made robo calls on his behalf.
