I wonder how many dead people got to vote in the election and whether any disputed ballots would have made a difference to the outcome. Since ACORN and SEIU operatives were in the district did this make a difference. Certainly the low class act of the scuzzbucket did make a difference. <br /><br />Since Doug Hoffman did not dispute what could have been disputed, I think that he has been quite honorable and gracious in defeat.<br /><br />However, this is only a temporary thing unless this district has somehow changed substantially in the recent past. <br /><br />If Owens faces up to the fact that he has to face the electorate again in 12 months then it could be that he will act more like a Blue dog than some arrogant Pelosi type. The win was not exactly an endorsement.... so....<br /><br />On the other hand the Hoffman challenge should be a warning to your Republican party to vet their candidates more carefully. It should also cause some soul searching about going along with the extremist left-wing media. Scuzzbucket was not a moderate. She was an extremist liberal on most things...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15507576011298404509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-61781312971481456512009-11-04T01:50:04.843-05:002009-11-04T01:50:04.843-05:00If this was the first test of Tea Party power, Tea...If this was the first test of Tea Party power, Tea Party activists are more powerful than previously thought.RightKlikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04475874038428195332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-28461655180691214802009-11-04T01:04:48.412-05:002009-11-04T01:04:48.412-05:00Never forget: this is a good night for conservativ...Never forget: this is a good night for conservatives. <br /><br />We won VA and NJ, by higher margins than we took those states in '93. <br /><br />We broke the GOP's handpicked RINO and showed they ignore the actual GOP voters at their peril. <br /><br />A few months of one more Dem congressdrone in a House they already control is a small price to pay for that.richard mcenroehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10659450906647134430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-54803855647505083722009-11-04T00:56:19.564-05:002009-11-04T00:56:19.564-05:00Well, I'm bitterly disappointed, but still it ...Well, I'm bitterly disappointed, but still it was a victory to get Scozzafava out of that race, and to send a mighty clear message to the establishment Republicans.<br /><br />We'll get 'em next time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-2091273633436958392009-11-04T00:53:21.967-05:002009-11-04T00:53:21.967-05:00At least gay marriage is being defeated in Maine.At least gay marriage is being defeated in Maine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-84080880308062499062009-11-04T00:50:47.431-05:002009-11-04T00:50:47.431-05:00Like it or not, there are a whole lot of liberal R...<i>Like it or not, there are a whole lot of liberal Republicans who wouldn't vote for Hoffman.</i><br /><br />Maybe a coalition between libertarian Republicans and socons would be useful after all.
