i m sure there are some hapless candidates they would be their own amateur hour. gregg: yeah, you weren t going to fall for that one, were you. nicely done. democrats lost that special election in new york city that s a seat they held since 1923. is that a hard bin ? what did is that a harbinger? what did we learn from that? one, there are a lot of democrats upset with president obama not just because they are angry with his policies. but because they have specific complaints about things like israel. his policy towards israel. he gave a toughering pro-israeli speech at the u.n. to try to make up for that. we learned that the ecomy is an important issue. so far no one, even in democratic new york city believes that he s done anything to affect the 9% unemployment rate. gregg: john fund, thanks very much.
