I am sad that Hoffman lost, but we got the middle of the road guy........instead of the RINO who was farther left than the dem. Owens must run again next year, so good luck to him. I imagine Scozzafava will be out of office in the next election as well. So we got some good out of this mess.

Best part is the GOP will have to admit us into the big tent again. Or beware of what crazy tactics we will come up with next.

I am very disappointed in some of the things Steele is reported to have said last night.

Obama has been attempting a putsch
Now the right-wing says “thanks very mutsch”
His record isn’t great
And his Secretary of State
Is invisible (but still pretty butsch)

the RINO wing of FR is already moaning about how this is a lesson that you can’t go in with pitchforks blazing etc. BS! it doesn’t say that at all. if anything, the unmasking of the RINO as she did herself with throwing her girth behind the dem, reinforces the notion that HELL NO, we don’t want RINOS in office!

he was a bit doughy, but not 550lbs. now jerry nadler is a dem and he was HUGE......I guess it only matters if you are a Republican fatty. corzine was desperate and it was showing....now we know why. he was going down.
