Republican David Storobin<\/a> appears to have scored an upset win<\/a> over Democrat Lew Fidler<\/a> in yesterday special election in SD-27. \u00a0This is particularly amusing as there is a roughly a 3-1 Democrat enrollment advantage in the district. \u00a0Even more entertaining is the e-mail I receiving from a person in the district saying Fidler’s lackeys did a mailing against Storobin saying that the Tea Party people were opposed to “common sense gun control.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Like David Weprin<\/a>, Fidler is a typical Democrat machine candidate who never had serious opposition before and tried coasting on little more than the heavy enrollment advantage. \u00a0That, along with his gun control pitch, looks to have failed.<\/p>\n
