Although the Minnesotan carried Manhattan in New York City with about 65% of the vote, Republican William Green, 55, a three-term incumbent, still managed to win in the so-called Silk Stocking District. Green and his challenger, Democrat Andrew Stein, 39, the Manhattan borough president, spent a total of $1,784,775, making theirs the costliest House race in the nation...
