"Referendum" Election Close

CORRECTED: House race in New York too close to call | Reuters: "NEW YORK (Reuters) - A special election to fill a congressional seat in New York state was too close to call late on Tuesday with less than 100 votes separating candidates in the race viewed by many as a referendum on President Barack Obama's handling of the U.S. economy..."

If you are reading political tea leaves in this election and forecasting support for or against O'Precious, then note that which ever way it goes, the margins are razor thin. I still say that the swing vote in all these kinds of elections has more to do with what is going locally than nationally.
