SARANAC LAKE, N.Y. – I caught Watertown, N.Y., Mayor Jeff Graham, who endorsed NY-23 Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman this weekend, looking very glum at Doug Hoffman’s election party. I asked him what happened in Jefferson County, where Watertown is located, and where Democrat Bill Owens is leading the vote.
“We lost,” said Graham. “The Scozzafava endorsement, the [Watertown Daily Times] endorsement of Owens–I mean, they roughed Hoffman up.”
Could Hoffman still pull out a win? Graham grimaced. “It’s over.”
sniff...sniff...sniff
I smell a little pre-emptive BS......not over yet.
That bwitch needs to be SHUNNED in a MAJOR WAY.
We need to insult and weed out all the rinos!
As I said before, this is New York. This is a state where Congressmen like Charles Rangel could be caught robbing a bank in broad daylight and still get re-elected. NY-23 is just a reflection of the entire state.
New York deserves everything it gets.

Scozzafava plus Hoffman has more votes than Owens.
Bring in Karl Rove. He’ll know who to call.
4% — still too close to call.
Oh, how a once noble and illustrious name has been tarnished, the name that stemmed from one of the 1st and greatest US generals and presidents.
The Hoffman people have told RedState that they believe they have pulled off the win.
Yes, but Dede endorsed Owens. Her votes mostly went to Owens.
Keep in mind, that’s a liberal news site. They may well be right, but I’ve been told we won’t get all returns until tomorrow because a voting machine broke down. If it goes South for Hoffman, though, look for the Dems to play this up big-time.
Who’d a thought we would win NJ and lose NY23?
I’m afraid so. Better Owens though than Scuzzyacorn. Hopefully the GOP has learned its lesson.
F'ing traitors cost Hoffman his victory.
The RINO bitch was outed.......AFAIC, no matter what happens, conservatives won.
If so....it is war over every Republican who is left of center in the U.S.
It is time to pull the plug on every politician who can cover their tracks with the Constitution.....

Thank you Newt!
No it doesn't, you ARROGANT ***.
I live in NJ near NY and I didn't deserve Corzine. Lonegan was my choice however we got Christie. Conservatives like myself do what they can do. No DECENT person deserves ANY Demoncrat or Rino in a position of power. If you had any grace or sense, you'd apologize for that insensitive statement.
You know what’s coming..”It was Sarah’s fault” or they will say this proves the GOP needs to become moderate. Hey I’m thrilled that we got 2 out of 3..what happened tonight in New Jersey was shocking. I did NOT expect Christie to win and he did..so I am satisfied
Juan Williams called it and said it’s over. I’m sure Brit wanted to smack him upside the head.
I call Bravo Sierra...far too many precincts left to report.
Actually, the Watertown area (60 miles North of Syracuse) is pretty Conservative by NY standards. The Mayor, Graham, is an almost conservative Dem. The whole state is pulled under by the anchor that is NYC.
Figures they might take a skag like Scuzzy Fava seriously.
Juan just spouted that talking point...the Repubs need to be moderate in the future. (Smack!)
Bummer. I thought we could win this one easily. The GOP botched this by nominating Democrat Lite in the first place. Then she proves her loyalty by being bought by the Democrats.
It seems bizarre to me that the Republicans, being the loyal opposition, would ignore all the opposition to the Obama Administration and the opposition to the Federal squandermania that’s going on in Washington.
We’ve already won the bigger victory in showing Newt and Steele that a 3rd party candidate is better than yet another RINO, even if Hoffman does lose.
There are voting machine problems in St. Lawrence County, among the most populous area of that district. It ain’t over yet. It’s gonna be a long night in NY-23. I hope that Hoffman doesn’t prematurely concede.
YEP
I wouldnt be surprised is some in the GOP helped the Dem win this election if the conservative pulls it off the GOP is toast and there idea of big government lite is over just my take
Unfortunately the GOP scroogied it up plus Hoffman while a decent man is not a magnetic, forceful candidate. Plus all those idiots still voting for Scozzafava-— many voters are just idiots!
He writes for the spectacularly misnamed "Reason" magazine when he should really be writing for "The Daily Kos" or "Little Green Footballs." (LGF is like a Commie sleeper site).
libtards have been shrugging off NY 23 for weeks;tomorrow they’ll sound like a bunch of hens clucking about the ‘rebuke’ of conservatives.Blech.
I wouldnt be surprised is some in the GOP helped the Dem win this election if the conservative pulls it off the GOP is toast and there idea of big government lite is over just my take The govenors wins are big but after Obama gets through they will have no power and will just be blamed for the woes of the state when its the federal government running them.

St. Lawrence went Obama +17 in ‘08.
If largely republican precincts haven't reported there is a chance. But 4% down with over 70% reported, is tough to overcome.
Keep in mind on Doug Hoffman that 3 counties will not report their results online and one county, Fulton, has had a machine breakdown and will not report its results until tomorrow.

I am still hoping Hoffman will pull it off, but let’s face it, if he had not gotten into the race, a Scuzzyfaze victory would not have been any better than an Owen’s victory — as she so obviously proved with her endorsement.
Hell, give me a genuine enemy over a despicably untrustworthy friend any day of the week.
Forget the spin. Regardless of how this turns out, the Conservative voice of the nation has been heard and has shaken things up massively.
We gained TWO governors. That’s HUGH!
I never thought we’d win NJ. Never in a million years.
I didn’t think we had a chance in VA until about a week ago.
It’s been a good night. If Hoff can’t pull it out, it’s still incredible. He knocked off a Rino before election night. It’ll leave a mark.
The idiots at the RNC spent one million dollars on behalf of Scozza who in return for her endorsement of Owens will probably get some plum appointment from the Obama Administration. One response that must be made here is that Newt Gingrich is no longer a spokesman for any segment of the Republican Party.
If 23 was that conservative, then Scumwaffle would never have been the nominee. Demos change and it appears NY 23 changed to a more liberal area.
I'll take the states of New Jersey and Virginia.
They can have the hamlet of Watertown.
Side note: I spent a week in Watertown a few winters ago. One of the coldest places I've ever been.
