I was delighted except with NY-23. That was such a huge fiasco and I wonder if there wasn’t a good degree of voter fraud? Don’t know, I thought Hoffman was ahead in the polls the entire time and then loses. That Scozzafava woman was awful!!

So how’s it going in Michigan these days Sharkey? CO

I'm actually fairly happy with NY-23. Not that we lost, but that we came very close to winning.

We put the skeer in them. All we need to do now is keep the skeer in them.

It was probably not any more fraud than normal for the dems, I doubt it was fraud that caused him to lose. The polls were very confused and the race likely tipped towards the end as a result of all the confusion.

All in all, perhaps Hoffman is a great guy and would have made a great congressman, his positions were solidly conservative. But he was very poor as a candidate, kind of looked geeky, yellow teeth, and could not articulate well beyond set phrases. That he came so close to winning in spite of those negatives tells you how much conservatives are rebounding now.

2 cents.
