A quick correction: Westchester Republicans are 2-for-3

After the elections in November I wrote a piece about what, at the time, appeared to be another shortcoming on the part of Westchester Republican efforts to follow-up on the surprise victory of Rob Astorino in 2009.

Well, I appear to have written too soon. According to the Westchester Board of Elections' official tally, the effort on behalf of an Astorino-backed group of candidates seeking to break the county legislative supermajority enjoyed by Democrats was actually successful. They certainly dumped tremendous resources into the race, but the fact remains they were able to achieve their goals, in county legislative races for which they often fail to field candidates.

In conversations with those involved after the fact, I know things didn't go as well as hoped. But I'd like to public acknowledge that they were definitely better than I initial reported. It's safe to say Westchester Republicans are now two-for-three.
