Aw. He'd have lost anyway, but still. Damn shame.
Here's hoping Hall will get swept out in the 2010 / 2014 / ? anti-Democrat wave, then.
He is likely to be heavily protected by the 2012 redistricting.
Are there any GOP seats around NY-19 anymore to make that possible?
Hinchey is safe in NY-22, and Lowey is very safe in NY-18. The district won't be pushed down into the Bronx, but the Democratic-leaning areas around New City may replace a good chunk of Orange County. Not a big change, but enough to make Hall safer while leaving both Lowey and Hinchey safe.
