Constructive gadfly

Granted the special NY election result [Weiner’s seat] was partly to rebuke Obama, but in a heavily Jewish district, the publicized fact that the contestant Democrat and Jew David Weprin voted in favor of New York’s passage of gay marriage, not to mention that Weprin wasn’t monolithically pro-Israel. Of course, the ugliest skeleton in the closet was Weiner himself. The election, therefore, shows that it’s not just the right that goes crazy over socio-ethnic-ethic issues.

Weprin may not have been pro-Israel, but he was no worse than Obama has been.  It was a repudiation of Obama (along with local issues I am sure) and his anti-Israel policies.  Weprin had been elected in that district (just not to the House or Representatives).

And that has to do with Weprin's loss how?

Again, what has that got to do with Weprin's loss?
