Democrat Kathy Hochul won the race for New York's District 26 seat in the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday. She bested Republican candidate Jane Corwin and tea party adherent, Jack Davis.
This is a clear victory not only for Democrats locally but for the party nationally as the national Republican party poured money into the race and even House Speaker Boehner traveled to the district to campaign.
The race revolved around the Republican budget agenda, especially Republican House plans to end Medicare as we know it. Voters in New York this week clearly didn't like the Republican plan and said so by handing the seat to a Democrat for the first time in forty years according to reports.
It is evident Republicans will have to run scared in 2012 if they continue to advocate gutting Medicare.
