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.”

Seems like a case that lawyers should be able to Frankenize.

Yes I didn’t even know there were statewide elections in PA til Rove mentioned Republicans won several, including for state supreme court.

Re: NY 23 that is a shame but realistic pundits were right. Hoffman came almost out of nowhere, with no major party support or funding, and he almost won. That’s quite an accomplishment. It is a shame though the GOP didn’t get their act together and nominate a more mainstream candidate who everyone could get behind. Then he or she could have won this race and it would have been an even more humiliating defeat for B0 and the Dems. Now they have some bragging rights, even though NJ and VA were much bigger wins.

How many votes for Dede were absentee ballots submitted by voters who did not know she would drop out?

So you think that even a liberal, as long as the “R” is after her name, is the way to go?

“look how many women voters voted for Barry O because of his looks.”

I’me male but you would have to explain his “good looks” to me, I can’t see it!

The message was, “Hey, we’re gonna help the Democrat get elected, but we’re too damned dumb to know it.” Some message. Needs work. 3rd party candidates get Democrats elected. It put Clinton in power, it put Henry in power in OK (thanks PKM), and some states were so close in 2000 that GW’s victory would have never been in doubt had Buchanan’s numbers not taken from GW and given the states to Gore.

Newt Gingrich should be considered “yesterday” and not receive a dime’s worth of attention anymore.

Seconded.

As a conservative woman I’ve always thought he looked goofy, with that wart on his nose and those big ears, and that fake smile. But there is no accounting for DEMOCRAT women’s tastes in men. ;)

There is a place to challenge Republicans, in the primaries. In instances like NY23 where there wasn’t one, wait until there is one. In this case it would have been a year. Instead, we’ll have a Democrat incumbent next time around. Yeah, that worked out.

Yeah. Right.

They should of had their hand on the pulse. Suzz should of been on the clear no-go list.

Once again the rats outsmarted the GOP. UGH!


Not a cheerful win for the left though.. Hoffman clearly outed Skuz as a Democrat mole. Just a week ago, the Leftists had a win/win set up running two leftist candidates, one in each major party.

They took 50% losses in a very close run thing, and a lot of their moles within the GOP NY structures have been outed.

Hoffman may not prevail, but he busted up an very incestuous, leftwing bed of maggots in NY.

And there is the famous photo of Truman holding up the “DEWEY WINS” newspaper headline.

We shall see. Even if the leftists pull this former slam dunk out in a squeaker, they better not get too comfortable there.

Yeah, nominating a rat sure worked out well for the GOP, didn’t it?

Idiots!

I can’t buy the logic. I refuse to ever pull a lever or punch a ballot just because of an “R” after the name. I’m sorry but my principles mean a tad bit more to me than that. Scuzzy would have been an Obama wet dream...an enemy of everything I hold dear...and no party is worth that to me.

There was no guarantee that DeDe would have won if she hadn't been challenged, but even if she did, we would have had a Dem-supporting RINO as an incumbent - what's the difference?

but in a way Newt was right.

Yeah. Beck/Limbaugh/etc. should have stayed of this.

Was Scozzafava a RINO? Yes. Would she have sucked in Congress? Yes.

But it would have been a republican victory, a sweep for the GOP and we wouldn't be treated to the impending stream of "Obama and his agenda vindicated at the polls for federal offices" garbage.

If the GOP candidate is left of the Democrat, who cares if the GOP loses?

Seems like in NJ the I vote hurt the D. Because if you add them up, it’s more than the R got.
