Meet Bob Turner (R-CAND, NY-09).

Bob is running in the special election called to replace Rep. Weiner after, well, delicacy prohibits me from finishing that sentence in the way that it deserves. Anyway, the election in question is next month, and is already surprisingly close, this early out.  Turner’s Democratic opponent David Weprin is only leading 48/42 in the latest Siena poll, which frankly demonstrates a startlingly weak lead in a district that Siena found to be 61% Democratic: couple that with Turner getting both Ed Koch’s and Rudy Giuliani’s endorsement, and we have ourselves a race here.  We talked about that a bit:

Jazz Shaw, on the upcoming NY-09 election:

Out here in the Empire State, there are a few things which you can always count on. The sun will rise in the east, your taxes are going to go up again, and if we are forced to have a special election for Congress, we’ll find a way to turn it into an absolute debacle.

I admit to a certain morbid curiosity, myself.  I know!  Let’s have the NY GOP pick somebody’s who’s actually dead!

…That’s a joke.  Joke!

PS: Admittedly, it does sort of have its appeal.
