The networks are starting to call NY-23 for the Democrats, with Conservative Doug Hoffman trailing narrowly.

That must be a referendum on Obama too, right?

Damn Right Simple Reader!
Everything now is a stain on the escutcheon for Obama.
He should have won Virginia, He did not!
He should have won New Jersey, He did not!
He barely won the NY-23rd and may lose the CA-10th.
Not looking so great for your mess-iah, is it?

Sure is! Democrats should have cleaned our clocks in this race and you barely squeaked by--probably needed ACORN's dirty tricks to do so.

Be afraid, LR, be very afraid. 2010 is coming fast.

Hoffman did pretty good, knocking out the RINO and almost winning the seat. Not bad for a newcomer and this DOES send a message to Obama. Owens better be careful also because there is another election next year coming up.

Not just a newcomer. He was an unknown a month ago, but his message resonated with conservatives everywhere.

For an unknown to get thisclose to winning in such a short period of time is astounding.

So, for stepping up and taking on the worthy cause, THANK YOU, MR. HOFFMAN!!!

I never heard of NY23 before nor have I heard about Scuzzafava or Hoffman. But Now that I know that Scuzzawats her name is a RINO and supported the Democrat I am gald she got booted out,she showed who she really is and what RINOS really--they are Democrats. Or wannabeez So good for Hoffman to what he did--exposing who people really are and getting darned close. Get nervous Democrats. Oh and by the way I happen to be one of those Independents who do not buy the Cool Aide

Remember, about a month ago Hoffman was a joke, 3rd in a 3-way race, and his campaign coffers were decidedly spare. He dispatched the anointed RNC candidate and barely lost. Not bad for a first attempt. Liberals, please do underestimate the Conservatives. You betcha.

New York must be the most gerrymandered state in the Union. How can they have 99 percent of the congressional seats with less than 60 percent of the vote?
