Opponents of same-sex marriage are also claiming victory in the special election to replace disgraced Democrat Anthony Weiner. Brian Brown of the National Organization of Marriage said in a statement:
NY-9 is another victory for marriage in our country. This district, which Obama won, Clinton won, and which has had a Democrat in Congress since 1923, showed Tuesday that marriage is important. David Weprin was not able to defend himself against his vote to support same-sex marriage in New York, and his constituents made that clear. 42 percent of them oppose same-sex marriage. 29 percent said marriage was a significant issue in this race. And Tuesday well over a majority of them showed Weprin that they have had enough.
Weprin supported the change in the state’s marriage laws.

OF COURSE IT WAS THE MARRIAGE ISSUE THAT FLIPPED THIS TO TURNER.
THE ORTHODOX COMMUNITY MOBILIZED AND SENT MORE PEOPLE TO THE POLLS THAN EVER BEFORE TO FIGHT WEPRIN AS HIS VOTE FOR SAME SEX MARRIAGE WAS A MAJOR EMBARRASSMENT TO ORTHODOX JEWS.
ALL THE ORTHODOX PRESS WAS PUBLICLY ALIGNED AGAINST WEPRIN BECAUSE OF HIS VIEWS.
THIS WAS A GREAT DAY IN JEWISH HISTORY AS THE JEWS VOTED FOR TORAH VALUES EVEN AGAINST ONE OF THEIR OWN LOST BROTHERS.
