New York 23rd Congressional Race: Political Earthquake in Progress

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- Like the song goes, "something going on over there". What's happening in the New York 23rd Congressional District may have national significance. It's looking like a political earthquake in progress, and it has a San Francisco flavor to it....In San Francisco style, a Republican abandoned her own party's candidate and chose a liberal Democrat, saying it was the best choice for her district. (Recall the hundreds of San Francisco republicans who were strong early financial supporters of Democrat Mayor Gavin Newsom and his defunct run for California governor over the Republican candidate.)

Didn't make much difference. In interviews conducted before Scozzafava announced the suspension of her campaign Conservative Party's Hoffman led Owens 49-31 with 17% going to Scozzafava. The latest polls show the race tightening up. So, President Obama sent Vice President Biden up to New York to help bailout Owens.

Well, up until now, like the OTHER song goes;

Laugh about it, shout about it...
When you have to choose...
Anyway you look at it...
YOU LOSE...

Could he be talking about Buffalo Springfield’s “Something’s happening here?”

It's not exactly clear.

This revolt is not lost on the dims.

They, too, will feel the heat. Especially when the dim party starts "moderating" to reach the middle. The looney left will begin to challenge mainstream dims...and they will be encouraged and emboldened by the success of the right.

Welcome to the 4-party political system...one that will be of great benefit to conservatives.

I don’t see him as a 3rd party candidate. There were two rats in the race - Doug being the only real republican. And there are facts to back that up! That’s why he threw his hat in the race, he knew it!

Some scriptures for Conservatives to stand on!

Luke 8:17
For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.

Luke 12:2
“But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known

Matthew 10:26
“Therefore do not fear them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.

Mark 4:22
“For nothing is hidden, except to be revealed; nor has anything been secret, but that it would come to light.
