Should say live, doh!
They just took this down. What is going on?
What the hell, maybe he took it back or somebody jumped the gun over at Fox.
Uh Source?
Damn you Gingrich and Scozzafava!
It was neck and neck yesterday.
Now the Democrats suddenly have a double digit lead?
What happened?
BATTLE ON!
WTF!
The Walking Dead were dug up and driven to the polls.
Ah geez!
Now this is ALL we’re going to hear about in the MSM....
That rhino spoiled it.
SHE SHOULD BE SHUNNED and DISINVITED from the GOP.
The GOP must develop brass ones just as she sabotaged Hoffman.
crap!
Well, NJ and VA are pretty significant. And if that RINO-biotch hadn’t queered things, 23 would have been a win as well.
Thanks, Newt! You are dead to me.
It was right on the front page, now its not, got me, don’t know what the deal is.
Why concede until actually beaten? I thought the number of votes outstanding was greater than the margin.
I thought I saw where 11,000 absentee votes wouldn’t be counted till tomorrow....
“Damn you Gingrich and Scozzafava!”
DAM Scozzafava MORE!
One vote closer to Obamacare, higher taxes and surrender!
Thanks Libs and RINOS. :D
Yep its now gone, wonder what gives
It’s not live now?
What’s going on?
And it’s a special election race, he will get another chance soon!
Hoffman is going to wait until tomorrow for further results. Fox got ahead of itself . . I don’t see any other news op calling it for the Democrat.
On negative side, we were hoping that we could keep this seat but it seems we lost. On the positive side, we managed to prevent another Jefford and Specter, and push the DIABLO to come out for the Dim. Owens will only keep the seat for about a year. Next year, we will try to get it back without any bruhaha...
didn’t she endorse the RAT?
This is a big loss for conservatives. The analysis will be that moderation won, extremism lost. That while Obama lost clout in NJ, Palin, Limbaugh et al lost clout in NY-23. That the winners in NJ and VA were moderate republicans. By putting so much attention on this one stupid race, and then losing it, the conservatives take some of the sting out of the DEM losses.
Thanks for the link, but the video isn’t yet up so I wonder what is up.
Some one didn’t get the message about the uncounted absentee votes....
Hoffman 2010!!!
He should have waited till the last absentee ballot was counted and then demanded a recount if he still lost.
Hoffman got a pass this time for not being from the district because of the unusual circumstances. If he doesn’t re-locate they need to find someone else.
It’s all good. We got the big wins today, New Jersey and Virginia. Newt and the RNC are the ones to blame for this loss. They rallied around a RINO loser instead of sticking up for the Conservative candidate. They came out too late. Newt is a prick for defending DeDe and now he has egg on his face. Of course the media will spin this saying it was Sarah and the rest of the “Extreme right wingers” who caused Owens to win, but really, who gives a flying F what the damn media thinks. New Jersey, the most liberal of liberal states EVER, went to a Republican..now THAT is REAL change
Damn you Gingrich IS THE NEW BITCH.
Tonight was still a great night on the whole for Republicans. Not only did we win the vastly more important governorships, but we also stopped a true RINO from governing under our banner. Hoffman will have that seat in two years.
Tonight Dems are crying in their lattes.
Good,glad to hear that
She endorsed owens and took 900 grand from republicans. But we sent a message to the rinos and will win the seat back in a year.
Maybe with Hoffman 2010 the GOP would actually spend money on a real Republican.
“didn’t she endorse the RAT?”
Yes, she did!
She dropped out. It was between Hoffman and Owens.
She ENDORSED OWENS, the DEMONCRAPPER.
From “The Other McCain”
“12:05 a.m. WED 10/4: HOFFMAN EXPECTED TO CONCEDE IN STATEMENT. Will update . . .”
He needs to retire and keep his mouth shut unless he grows some sense or at least two brass ones.
When I went to vote today, I noticed that Dede’s name was still on the ballot. She got over 3,000 votes.
Next year actually.
It would be nearly impossible for 11,000 absentee votes to close a 4,000 vote gap.
Hoffman would need 7000 of those votes just to keep even with Owens in the final tally.
That would be 64%.
I suppose it is faintly possible, but this is a 3 way race and it is hard to crunch the numbers in a way that would be plausible for a Hoffman victory.
I was channel switching between Fox, PMSNBC (who had the absolute worst coverage), and CNN. I was surprised none of the Democrat commentators made mention of the fact that Sarah Palin went to bat for Hoffman and sent him money from her PAC, but he still lost.
I think we sure have work left to do here, folks, if we had Rush, Sean, Glenn, Sarah, Mark Levin, the Thompsons, ALL pushing Hoffman in the last few weeks but he still lost.
I don’t know: maybe people didn’t want to vote for someone who looked like Barney Fife. I guess voters CAN be that shallow: look how many women voters voted for Barry O because of his looks.
He conceded. But for an unknown, and no backing by the RNC, he did great! And this was a special elections race. Not a regular seat. Another race for that seat in 2010!!
All in all that doesn't excuse the voters in upstate New York. It must be something in the water.
“Damn you Gingrich and Scozzafava!”
HUH? He didn’t vote and she quit.
Thot a 3rd party couldn’t lose??
And the alleged Republican jumping on the Democrat bandwagon, instead of backing Hoffman, didn’t help.
It is pure BULL!
It is very rare, in this country, for a 3rd Party candidate to do as well as Hoffman.
Conservatives did NOT suffer a loss in the 23rd. Instead, conservatives fought the good fight, were wildly outspent, and have an excellent shot at taking this seat in 2010 -— at the same time conservatives probably ended the career of a RINO!
>>> Damn you Gingrich IS THE NEW BITCH. <<<<
I LOVE IT!
Newt, Steele, Scuzzbagga, have the bollocks to jump on over with your Rat bed-bugs...aka Spectuer.
