This makes Owens an immediately endangered Blue Dog.
On to 2010!
Sure, Fox, sure.
Owens: Blue Dog of Newt
Fine, we will get Owens next year when the GOP nominates a real candidate and both Conservatives and the GOP stand behind that candidate rather than having DeDe playing spoiler. Bank on it.
And to my friends in the MSM I say, “Spin Away!!!” but every blue dog in congress and every dem in an unsafe district knows that Hoffman ran as a THIRD PARTY candidate and still almost won this thing. You can declare that conservatives have been taught a lesson all you want but at the end of the day, I am afraid YOU are the one’s that have drawn the wrong conclusion.
if GOP picked Hoffman instead of Scoffa, then he would’ve won. Scoffa got 6k of the votes even though she pulled out. Who voted for her? Probably those GOPers who vote party line without realizing she has already pulled out
If the democrat wins, I am sad that Hoffman lost. However, I would rather have the democrat win than the POS RINO. We will take it back in 2010 with a good candidate, maybe even Hoffman.
I’m surprised Newt didn’t throw his support to the democrat too.
The GOP establishment gift wrapped the NY 23 for the Democrats.
Stinking Newt is a DIABLO, serial divorcee and adulterer.
WHAT???????????????????
I thought the Conservative was leading in all the polls?!
If the party has a lick of sense (which I doubt they do) they'd be getting Hoffman ready for a rematch, this time as the ENDORSED candidate.
The New York state Republican Party screwed this up royally, with the complicity of people like Newt, who apparently has gone soft in the head. People in New York ought to think about cleaning house.
I’m not from the district, but I simply don’t understand why we didn’t win this one. It was very clear choice.
I’m coming to the realization that our position on issues do not have the numbers for electoral victories. I passionately feel that we are right on the issue though.
With demographic changes and a corrupt press, we are in trouble. This “rebellion” can’t be won at the ballot box.
SO TRUE!!!!!!!!
In the future, “Scazzafava” will have a different meaning, just as “Lewinsky” does.
There are 11,000 absentee ballots yet to be counted. Fulton county had a total failure of their voting machines and their votes won’t be counted until next week.
I think it is too early to determine the election.
Something smells rotten in upper state New York!
YOU said it BROTHER!!!!!!!!
