/Westchester/Rockland Congressman Eliot Engel emerged as perhaps the biggest winner for the Democrats on Tuesday night. Though he had no serious opponent, Engel figured heavily into the victory of troubadour Democrat John Hall over Republican incumbent Rep. Sue Kelly. As the close race approached the finish line, Engel brokered a deal between Hall and national Democratic leaders to secure the support of Kiryas Joel, a Satmar Hasidic Jewish community in Orange County that votes in a solid block. Typically, the 5,000 votes will go to the Republican and had reportedly been promised to Kelly. Hall’s victory came within that margin, and Engel has not only cemented his relationship with a new colleague but has emerged as a new power
