Owens (D) and Rino Scozzafava (R) are one in the same anyway.
But now the libbies don’t have a repub to blame everything on (as they always do).

Conservative Hoffman, first time running for office, entered the race 3 weeks ago, and had NO help or endorsement from the repubs and lost by a small percentage - 45% Hoffman to Owens 49%!!!!!!!
Conservative Hoffman got a HIGHER percentage of the votes in NY-23 than the uber billionaire libbie elite Gov. Corzine running for re-election & spending millions of his own money in the process, AND Corzine had 0bomba stumping for him FOUR times......AND Biden was stumping for Corzine too.....

Let’s check the absentee ballots in NY 23 also.
Watch for them to be Frankenized.
In the Jersey governor race, Camden New Jersey had 15 times (FIFTEEN TIMES!) as many absentee ballots for this governor election than it had in last years Presidential election.
LOL...yeah, people were much more apt to go out of their way to vote for gov than president!!!!!!!
Low and behold, it was shocking! A shocker I tell you, that Camden oooooverwhelmingly voted for 0bomba/ACORN endorsed Corzine!

Um, Atilla, I hate to break it to you but - according to Wikipedia - Hoffman was around for a bit longer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_Hoffman
“The Conservative Party of New York did not cross-nominate Scozzafava, but instead, nominated Hoffman to run on the Conservative Party ticket on August 7, 2009.”
…and he was loaded with outside GOP support from Palin, Pawlenty and other prominent Republicans.

But despite repubs (Gingrich Steele) endorsing and spending $900,000.00 on a RINO who dropped out and endorsed the libbie, the conservative Hoffman fared really well.
He WAS endorsed by the “conservatives” not Repubs, IF that is, you can call T-Paw a Conservative. I’mmmm noooot so sure about that yet.
If Scozzafava and Hoffman’s votes were combined, Hoffman would have won.
BUT Scozza was a RINO who gave her votes to the libbies........RINO’s don’t let the door hit you on the way OUT!

Atilla, what I hope for is that this pushes more third party candidates and independents that don’t prescribe to the exact ideology of a party. I agree the GOP candidate was far too liberal to fit in the present day GOP party. American’s don’t like too much concentration in one ideology - that’s what I am taking from this election.

artista, you’re not getting it.
It’s precisely BECAUSE of the Conservative endorsement, not repub endorsement, that Hoffman. did so well (45% to 49%).
It was the RINO Scozzafava that threw Hoffman off.
Apparently her own district didn’t even vote for her.

Aw; come on guys.
This was a Stalinist-style Republican Party Purge gone sour, pure & simple.
The national party fringe—SEE piling-on tag team of Sarah P. & our own T-PAWlenty, for starters—didn’t like the choices being made in upstate N.Y. by Local Republicans, so they came-in w. assault rifles blazing & now they’re left with a bloody Nothing.
Apart from alienating the scorned former GOP legislator & nominee, Ms. Scozzafava, carpetbagger Hoffman was also damaged by the recent revelation that he doesn’t even Live in the 23rd district…
Not illegal in that election; but even you local political geniuses can recognize this one as a major “Oops!” screw-up.
Then when he appeared before the editorial board of The Watertown Daily Times he “showed no grasp” of local issues, as that local paper’s subsequent editorial put it.
Added to that, the N.Y. Times Frank Rich reports that “Hoffman’s prime attribute to the radical right—as a take-no-prisoners fiscal conservative—was bogus.
In fact he’s on the finance committee of a hospital that happily helped itself to a $479,000 federal earmark.
Then again, without the federal government largess that the tea party crowd so deplores, New York’s 23rd would be a Siberia of joblessness. The biggest local employer is the pork-dependent military base, Fort Drum.”
So celebrate your other victories all you want, you GOP operatives & apologists. You went to the mattresses and Lost this New York blood feud over your holy grail of conservative ideology.
As you try it elsewhere across the nation, I’m sure it will be a very “cleansing” process, if not a successful electoral strategy.
P.S. Sure wish ATILLA (who I’d Love to nominate for Republican Nat’l. Chair) would use more CAPS and EXCLAMATION marks in his FREQUENT posts, to let us know what/if he Really thinks!!!!!

Hmm, let’s see.
Republican Bob McDonnell CRUSHED Democrat Bob McDonnell in the Virginia Governor’s race with an 18%(!) spread.
Republican Chris Christie, who was outspent 2-1, defeated the corrupt, Obama-backed (same difference) Democrat Jon Corzine in New Jersey.
Conservative Doug Hoffman, an unknown who started campaigning for the 23rd Congressional District in New York a mere three weeks ago and left “Republican” Dedee Scozzafava in the dust, came within a hair’s breadth of winning the special election.
Be afraid, Obama leftists. Be very afraid.

OnlyTheTruth seems to have OnlyHisOpinions, since OnlyTheFacts tell us that this should have been a slam-dunk victory for Republicans.
Sure, N.Y. GOP assemblywoman, Dede Scozzafava looks “liberal” to the troglodytic Paleo/Palin-Conservative wing of the Republican Party; but her endorsement for higher office was the routine (And Non-naive) decision of 11 Local Republican county chairs.
I don’t know if you’ve ever visited that ruggedly beautiful part of the country, but these are Not your big-city brie-&-chablis types who you sneeringly refer to as “RINO’s.”
New York’s 23rd was something that is becoming as rare as artifacts from the Paleolithic Period—A “safe” Republican seat.

The headline implies an upset, but the reality (and you’ll see in 2010 and beyond) is that the NY-23 election sends a message to GOP leadership in Washington. Scozzafava was the “hand picked” moderate candidate much like McCain in 2008. A true conservative enters the race late in the game and nearly steals the election. Who will be our next Reagan?

....actually Frank, I went to college in NY-23. It’s VERY blue collar, lots of union workers, yet very strong on defense due to the proximity of Ft. Drum. Here’s the kicker Frank....it’s still New York and there’s a strong base of downstate transplants and young college students. There is a strong RINO contingent in NY-23! While more conservative than the remainder of the state, it’s not Salt Lake City by any means.

The Governor races were not a referendum on the Obama Administration anymore than Democrats winning State races when Bush was still in office.
Corzine was unpopular and did little for New Jersey. Having lived there 36 years ago, it was expensive then.
Deeds ran a cruddy campaign of attack the opposition rather than focus on the issues at hand. No wonder he lost by such a wide margin.
The NY-23 race has more of a National impact, in that one more Democrat is in the House of Representatives from a District that has been represented by a Republican since US Grant.
I read that not only was Doug Hoffman not up on the local issues of the District, he DID NOT LIVE in the District. How can anyone represent a District in the US House if they even didn’t live there?
Michael Steele can go on the Talk Shows and bolster up his victories in New Jersey and Virginia. His real test will be the mid term elections. If his goal is to purge the GOP of Moderates like Sens. McCain, Collins, Snowe, and others in the US House, then the GOP will surely crumble to dust. YOU cannot win elections with 20% of the electorate claiming to be Republicans. The infighting within the GOP is also turning off Independents.
For it is becoming clearer that Socially Moderate Republicans have no place in today’s GOP. Steele and others within the party will see to that.

Mrs_C has some opinions that I both agree and disagree with.
It was, somewhat, a reflection on Obama because he pushed so hard - particularly in NJ, but (she’s right) there were lots of other issues as well and the exit polling tended to agree with her. The Obama support never showed up in last night’s election and it probably won’t in 2010.
I can’t draw much of a conslusion of NY 23 since the RINO just dropped out and still drew support, but that candidate was left of most blue dog Democrats. The GOP also has to be willing to accept candidates that support abortion and a handful of other MOTR issues.
Again, I want to see both parties lose their influence.

Oh; and here’s a snippet of recent opinion from one of Atilla’s favorites, The Wall Street Journal:
“A majority political party requires a far more diverse coalition than the audience for your average right-wing blogger or talk show host. Some of those voices prefer having Democrats in power because it drives up their own ratings.
Democrats did themselves no favors by driving Joe Lieberman out of their party, and conservatives will do their cause no good by forcing GOP candidates in Illinois, California and Connecticut to sound like Tom DeLay.
If conservatives now revolt against every GOP candidate who disagrees with them on trade, immigration or abortion, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid will keep their majorities for a very long time.”

Here’s the key part of the last post Frank...“intolerance of political opponents gives them daily license to unreasonably denounce & defame.” To the unbiased observer, you making that statement is like the pot calling the kettle black.
I have keen insight into the political spectrum...you see Frank, at one time I was a registered Democrat. I was young, trying to impress a girl....you know, youth is for indiscretion, but I’ve moved on. The thing is, I know how I used to think and I realize that is how most Democrats think and see the world. There’s nothing wrong with opposing views, even if they’re wrong. That’s what makes our country great, but educate yourself on the other side.
The irony is that most liberals hold their views as true and right and therefore denounce the view of the conservative as being of less value, uneducated, ill formed, biased, etc.
I can’t speak for everyone, but I know that I read the opposing liberal view (any Star Tribune editorial generally qualifies). It often raises my blood pressure in the morning, but at least I attempt to see the other side. When was the last time any of you liberals listened to or read transcriptions from rushlimbaugh.com or anncoutler.com? If that’s to scary for you try sweetness-light.com and you’ll understand the meaning of media bias. Of course your answer will be that you don’t tolerate intolerance, but once again I digress......

It’s their intolerant, better-than-thou elitism talking. Throughout history, totalitarians have sent dissenters to “reeducation” camps.
The sick mindset here is the same. Anyone who does not think like the intelligentsia types do are obviously mentally defective as far as they are concerned.

Obama was impotent to help reelect the corrupt Corzine no matter how many times he stood next to him and exalted his non-existent virtues.
Virginia was a bloodbath. Obama was nowhere to be found there and the Democrat Party of Shame and Corruption abandoned Creigh Deeds to his fate.
Owens is a wounded warrior. His voting record over the next year will doom his reelection chances in 2010.
Meanwhile, like Nero playing the fiddle while Rome burned, Obama was watching himself on HBO while his corrupt candidates for governor went down in fiery flames.

It seems the numbers were wrong on election night because they didn’t count 10,000 absentee ballots. The vote count is much closer than they originally thought.
I wonder if the absentee vote ballots have been ACORNized?
