I generally appreciate Politico's reporting even if it can be slightly left leaning at times. But today's headline story is too much. Last night Democrats won a formerly Republican House seat in a special election in upstate New York that featured two right-of-center candidates (a tea party candidate and a moderate Republican). Politico is now claiming that Democrats have "cracked the code" for winning in 2012. Let us review: special election; upstate New York; two right-of-center candidates in a three way race. All of this and the Democrat still wins by less than 5 points and does not get a majority of the votes. That's right: right-wing candidates won a majority of the vote, but Politico claims Democrats have found the golden ticket for 2012. Great reporting Politico.
