It is time for the donut eating traitor to give back the money she took from donors and from the party.

Hanging on would have kept this race in public view for a few more days or weeks. Hoffman could have looked like a victim of ACORN games. The PR value of him hanging in there would have been HUGE. They just don't get it in NY...

I think he would have had to win 80% of the 11,000 votes.

I think our team's hopes of fixing what's wrong with the GOP is NOT a loss!!
We are not going away & we WILL take our party back. The big losers will be the RNC if they don't wake up.
Our fight is just beginning & we are not going to sit quietly & let them run a fiasco election like this again!!

WTF are you talking about? Scozzafava would have been the only worse outcome from what we got.

This is the one, and only one, thing I can admire about Franken. The son of a female dog hung in there until he won. THAT, is testosterone...

PREACH!
:)
I can’t stand the sour puss talk because of one race when Hoffman just got into the race 30 days ago.
To: grey_whiskers
Great summary - thanks. The only thing Hoffman screwed up on was conceding - he should have waited a few days to let the actual votes show how close he really came.

I don’t think this is over yet. It was too soon for him to concede.

Agreed. He fought a good fight.
And helped to inspire social conservatives across the country to fight for what is right harder than ever against the social liberals of the Neocon Country Club RINO Republican Establishment.
To: perfect_rovian_storm
WTF are you talking about? Scozzafava would have been the only worse outcome from what we got. If that lard *ssed bimbo had won, the RINOs would have had real momentum against Conservatives. This is the second best outcome and we can live with it. Hoffman in 2010!!!!!

I would have liked to see Hoffman drag this election through the mud for a few recounts... Go to court every week with a new challenge... Eyeball every last “absentee ballot”, and claim ACORN and the Black Panthers fixed the election for the scumbag Owens.
In other words, play the game the way the rats do.
Give them some of their own medicine, right upside the head.

See the previous post.
To: GeronL
Of the 6% that Scuzzi got, probably 5% were absentee ballots that were cast before she quit.
To: Lancey Howard
Absolutely. The media attention would have shifted from ObamaCare to this recount and wavering votes would have backed away until the race was decided. We lost a HUGE PR opportunity here.

Fantastic summary! Well said!
It was also shown what a marginal hold on the Party RINOs really have. Doug got the lion’s share of support from the Republican side. Dede had the party hacks and (R) uber alles types. They were the splitters. They were the inflexible extremists who couldn’t be part of a team effort. Who wanted power first and chummy relations with the Dems not far behind. Like Rush was saying earlier today about other RINO players: they walked out of their own big tent.
