Prediction and Nov 4, 2008 General Election Results-6th State Senate Race

6th State Senate Race
“Unless ( John) McKenzie runs extremely well in the 23rd District and loses by a closer margin (to Liane Sorenson) than (Rick) DiLiberto ( in 2002) in the remainder of the senate district, I don’t think he has cause for optimism for victory.”

Result:
McKenzie lost by 364 votes.
He won the 23rd District in Western Newark by 547 and won the 1st Election District of the 25th Representative District which votes at the Newark Free Library by 174 votes. He was unable to win the 23rd District across the board, losing in the 2nd Election District (First Presbyterian,Main St), the 9th ED (George Wilson Community Center) and the 10th ED (Maclary School).
He lost the areas north & west of the City of Newark in Hockessin, Yorklyn, and North Star in the 12th, 20th & 22nd Rep Districts by a large enough margin to offset his Newark margin which enabled Sorenson to retain her seat.
