No.

Without Hoffman in the race (and without the subsequent pressure for Scoz to drop) she would be going to Congress, and we wouldn't be 1 seat further AWAY from taking the house back...

She also would never have endorsed Owens....

Yeah, I'm with you brother.  It aint over.  I'm still watching the Atlanta mayoral race, bit that it really matters here in my little town.  Just another indicator of the pendulum swinging.  Actually, it does.  I have never been a fan of Atlanta, just going there for the airport or driving through on our way to north Georgia.  But if Norwood wins, I'll have a bit more respect for the city.

More than that.  The dems need to get at least 120% of the votes counted before they will declare victory.  

Honest;y, I am not hopeful.  Fuck Scozzafava!

That's not how it works.  Scozzafava was a more liberal candidate than the dem.  She wasn't even a RINO, she was a liberal democrat who was trying to get elected as a republican.



This result is actually far better –– this puts the republicans on notice to fix themselves.  Assuming Hoffman's the republican candidate next year (as he should have been this year), he'll win.  Nothing that happened tonight had anything to do with "taking the house back" –– that's not a mathematical possibility.  Owens (if he wins, which looks like it might be in doubt now), only gets a year until 2010.


Exactly.  Plus, we don't need a liberal RINO out there giving the Democraps cover to claim their proposals are "bipartisan."  Of course there already is bipartisanship in the opposition to their proposals, but the lamestream media will never report that.

You failed to notice my point.  There is no taking the house back tonight.  This election doesn't matter a whit in terms of the final number of dems/repubs in place tomorrow, nor does it matter in terms of the 2010 election (which Hoffman almost assuredly will win).  It matters in that it's a referendum on dems who call themselves republicans.  She would have switched as soon as she was elected anyway, or she'd have voted with the dems on everything that mattered (including who sits in the speaker's chair).

Also, Speaker of the House is a simple majority vote of all members.  It's most decidedly not dependent on #(R) vs #(D), especially not with repubs like this one.  You think she'd vote for a republican?

No - the lesson to take home is that a lowly measly "THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE" just kicked the shit out of a RINO turncoat Republican who was backed by none other than Newt Gingrich - AND came just a few points away from taking an entire Congressional District!

But do you think the RINOs who backed their turncoat colleague Looserfava will learn from this mistake they made?
