New York's 21st CD...that's us.....is being tagged as a hot spot for debating health care as a result of the SCOTUS ruling.
Rep. Bill Owens is a rarity...a Democrat in GOP leaning district who voted for Obama Care and still got reelected.
It's expected Republican Matt Doheny will make Obama Care his rallying cry.

What did you expect Owens to do? He did what any self respecting under the desk Donkey would do. He voted the way Nancy told him to then lied about it. I can't remember whether he called it a tax or a grant from hell or what, but the man's convictions are just what we expected them to be. He voted against what his constituents wanted then told us we all lobbied for the bill. At least he could have held out for some bribes like Whitehorse and some of the more principled Donkeys did. But then again Owens got the full time under the desk job. That counts for something. At least he doesn't have to look at her face.
This is no longer a swing district. It is overwhelmingly republican. Not a reliable district to measure national sentiment. The wild card in the race is can the republican base stomach a man of Doheny's ilk
Its not that much of a wild card. The only thing new with Dohney since last time when the voters gave him just shy of half the votes, is that he is getting married and the smooch.
If anyone thinks Owens is lockstep with the DEMS, then witness his "Yes" vote on the contempt of AG Holder yesterday ... I rest my case.
FYI: no one and I mean no one locksteps better than a line of Elephants, tail-to-trunk and trunk-to-tail than GOPers... a fact.
Hey Carthage just got a bunch of FREE NYS money, on top of what the county gave them, what gives?
