 Online NewsHour: Election 2000 - New York's First Congressional District -- October 27, 2000
Forbes was disillusioned by the 1995 government shutdown, by conservatives' efforts to undermine environmental rules, and by Gingrich's confession that he had misled the House Ethics Committee.
But when Forbes switched to the Democratic Party, he incensed Regina Seltzer and other Democrats, because he did so without renouncing his conservative views on such key issues as abortion and gun control.
She beat Forbes by just 35 votes, narrowly vindicating her claim as "the real Democrat." It remains to be seen whether grassroots tactics can keep Seltzer's candidacy alive, since polls show Grucci in the lead.
