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.”
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.
