In the words of Han Solo, "Don't get cocky kid."
I thin Hoffman will probably pull this one out. But that doesn't mean we should run third party challenges to ever "R" What it does mean is that party bosses need to fucking stop it with the RINOs. And if they put forth a true RINO that is as bad as this one was, then we need to prepare to lose the seat rather than to hold it only in illusion. Elections are individual first downs in a football game. You need people who are going to vote with you when the shit's on the line to actually score. The Republican party needs to figure that shit out. |

Republican state Assemblywoman Dierdre Scozzafava has suspended her campaign for upstate New York's 23rd Congressional seat, leaving Democratic nominee Bill Owens and Conservative Party nominee Doug Hoffman in the race that will conclude Tuesday. The move comes on the heels of a new poll that showed Scozzafava had fallen behind her two competitors in a race too close. The Siena College poll has Owens picking up 36 percent of the vote, while Hoffman has 35 percent. Scozzafava has 20 percent, with nine percent of voters undecided. It's a turnaround from the first Siena poll on the race in September, which had Scozzafava leading, followed by Owens and Hoffman. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/10/31/republican-scozzafava-suspends-new-york-congressional-campaign/ |

White House: So what? These elections mean nothing. NOTHING! Just this week administration officials were saying that THIS race would be a referendum on Obama. Now that it looks like the dems have a good shot at losing the election, I expect that they will view it as meaningless. ...and nobody in the press will hold them accountable for that. "So what you're saying is that only elections where the end result is favorable to the democrats should be viewed as a referendum on Obama while the races they lose are meaningless in the national scene, correct?" Hopefully this race sends a big fuckin' message to the Republican party: Stop nominating RINOs. We have enough democrats in office. We don't need any more. |

There was no way she way gonna win. Dead last in polling. Staying in only risked having the Dem win, despite being a fairly conservative district.
Now it looks like a Hoffman win. Big victory for the good guys, and for Palin in particular. Hope we see this repeated all over the US in 2010; run a conservative, or we'll run one for you. |

So if the RINO had 20%, and Hoffman had 35%, and the RINO is now out... does that mean that Hoffman now has 55% of the vote now? Or at least something approaching that? I'd love to see a new poll on this now that things have changed.

I've never understood why Newt is considered "brilliant". His books aren't amazingly breathtaking IMHO. Sure, he gathered the winning coalition in '94....but it went to his head in '98. It doesn't help that he kept divorcing and remarrying... he's on what, wife #3? He's a new Catholic....but he still thinks in the WASP mode.... a GOOD Catholic wouldn't have gone with Dede no matter how much 'support' she'd originally garnered.
You need boots on the ground, volunteers willing to donate lots of time to these campaigns and would someone point to me the legions of 'moderate' republicans who've EVER shown up for the ground game???? |

I hope you're right, but you have to wonder about any of the supposed conservatives that were backing the Republican RINO. Just how conservative are they? I hope it's just a case of them feeling a little reluctant to vote 3rd party and now they can with a clear conscience. This would be an awesome precedent to set leading into 2010. I'm sure BHO will be looking for an upgraded teleprompter soon. His old one quit working. |

Obviously I hope that Hoffman wins, but the conservative party has fucked us here in NY by allowing the Republican loser in the primary to run in a 3 way race, splitting the vote. We lost a key state senate seat that way a couple years back. |

Well I'm in the 23rd district and I'm a bit shocked.
Now I'm wondering what her motive is? -Did the right thing for the party by avoiding the split even though she had the party backing? -Scared to be the little fish jumping to the big pond? -Got nervous about the RINO hate she was receiving? It really is a topic of conversation up here that she's a lib rino. -She was riding under the radar with her liberal voting record and now it's front page news and she didn't like the attention. Who knows/Cares. Go Hoffman! |
