Heard on MSNBC which prefers to discuss NY23 than the two STATE GOVERNORSHIPS.
Until there’s confirmation, it’s election night propaganda.
Go Fort Drum!!!
That’s great news, let’s hope they’re not in the hands of ACORN!
and no doubt all those absentee votes goes to dem
and no doubt all those absentee votes goes to dem
Must be military votes.
Must be military votes.
Bet they are out rounding up the Acorn voters, the dead and those who don’t live in the area anymore to get those ballots counted..yeah you betcha.
Hoffman behind 4200 votes with 85 % in.
Then they would have already been counted.
Most of those votes are likely from military overseas and those tend to go heavily conservative.
I smell a rat...
Yep I will bet it is the military, God bless the Military the only true light in these dark days!!!
Wouldn’t absentee votes be more likely to go to Scuzzy than to Hoffman, given that his campaign was relatively unknown until recently?
If Fort Drum’s votes are still pending, then I feel really good about this since military votes go more conservative than the current Gallup split that’s been referenced several times already.
Could very well be...hard to make up 4200 votes anyway.
11,000 absentee ballots? Hoffmans’ down by 4200 votes, and been consistently down by 3 points or more all night... so unless something draws those numbers much closer, 11,000 votes aren’t going to swing it IMHO.
We killed a RINO, and may have to accept that victory tonight. I’ll keep hoping for the best here.
And I’ll enjoy NJ, VA and Gay Marriage is being rejected in MN. Taking this seat would have been nice, but if it doesn’t happen I blame it squarely on the fools who put up DEDE in the first place, had a conservative had the R nomination in the first place they would have won.
STILL a 5000 vote margin between the two, with diehard Deedee voters giving her, at this point something like 5000 votes for herself. NOBODY should be conceding,or making victory speeches until all those absentee ballots are counted, if indeed there are 11000 votes to count.
ACORN goon squads are probably crawling the woodworks up there. There’s a good chance for fraud if this is true.
The GOP will be held to blame if Hoffman loses!
That’s weird - in San Diego County, the deadline for submitting absentee ballots is far enough in advance of the election, that all the absentees are already counted before the election even takes place.
I know that information because I’m an absentee voter and have been for several years.
They need to regroup and see how many votes the dem needs.
We have to remember how bad this night would have sucked if Corzine won, Obama would be able to gloat, now he can’t do that. Thank God Sarah didn’t actually go to NY 23. Of course the libs will be saying she is officially irrelevant now, until they see the crowds for her book tour that is!
I really hate to be a downer - but I’m wondering how many of those absentee ballots are for Scuzzyfaker?
I hope not many.
You are right. Hoffman was running third up until about a week ago, so early absentee votes are unlikely to help him.
Most of those votes will be going to the Republican (not Hoffman) if they were filled out weeks ago.
True, but..., how carefully did they follow the news of the election? They probably voted 10 days ago...
its easier to cheat on the absentee votes than going to an office and voting
I think some states have different rules where they cannot count them until after closing....???
Scavenged ballot box lids haunt S.F. elections
The corrugated plastic ballot box lids, each marked with the city seal and the words "Provisional and Absentee Ballots," first raised the concerns of election watchdogs shortly after the city's November election, when eight of them were found near the Golden Gate Bridge by the crew of a U.S. Coast Guard vessel.-PJSince then, despite assurances from city elections Director Tammy Haygood that the box lids merely blew into the bay while election workers cleaned them on a city pier, the issue has resurfaced time and again.
Time to break out our counter-fraud-fraud Unit!
Yes I agree totally! Seems like a lot of funny business going on up there!
They’re out digging up their voter fraud!!!
Hoffman 2010
No Scuzzies about it
MSNothingbutBarackChannel is apoplectic.
[[ACORN goon squads are probably crawling the woodworks up there.]]
They’re just apt to get their A$%#$% shot off if they show up in rural NY- they may be tough in the city where intimidation works on metrosexuals, but i nthe north country- they are nothign but a bunch of pee wee hermans
The absentees are not likely to bail us out--the R candidate got out too late to help; most of the ballots were filled out when she was still ahead of Hoffman.
Your best hope is that many of the remaining precincts are rural and will tend to vote Conservative. The spread is fairly wide but there is some reason to hope.
They are but they are blank. It will take ACORN till morning to fill in the little ovals.
“Absentee”?
That’s one of the battle cries of the suing liberal activist group. :(
Locally, our Republican state senator voted twice for porkulus, for cash & clunkers, and for cap & trade. I won't be surprised if he doesn't vote for obamacare, though he says he won't. His excuse so far has been since he won't be running for re-election he can do what he wants with no fall out. I've pledged that whomever he endorses as the next Republican candidate I will actively campaign against.
Someone here stated a day or two ago something along the lines of, I'd rather KNOW who my enemy is then vote for someone who turns out to be my enemy. We have to make the GOP scared of us. Our work is cut out for us.
Fox News Just Called The Race For Owens
To win the war first win the battles that you can win by Friday,,,,,
Newt scrood that pooch.
Hoffman 2010 on the GOP/Con ticket
BTW- How many Scuzzy votes are coming from the WFP line?
Heard a good line on TV tonight - some politician said he wanted to be buried in Texas because he wanted to remain political active. LOL
The governorships almost always had the GOP as the front runner. NY23 is different. Hoffman was always the dark horse. Which makes his defeat all the more disappointing. It's less significant, since a governorship is obviously more important than a House seat, but more disappointing, given the emotional (and financial - given the donations to his campaign from freepers) investment in his victory.
With Hoffman’s loss, the GOP Beltway Establishment will claim that grassroot conservatives and the Tea Parties must serve the RNC.
I wonder how many Scozzafava votes will be in the absentee ballots that would have gone to Owens on election day?
Carl Rove Just bitched slapped the hacks at Fox. They are not covering any states. He reported all the other races we won.
Rush, Palin, Pawlenty, Me....I donated - evidently not enough.
How many dead people will be in those absentee ballots?
