"We lost bigtime tonight. The other races were meaningless compared to this one. Winning this was imperative to teaching the GOP a lesson that it refuses to learn. I think that any meaningful win in 2010 is dead at this point, because we’ve lost the fight in our own party that needs to take place before we can win on the national stage."

I think you are looking at this the wrong way. Early indications are that Hoffman made a contest out of it despite the fact that Scuzzyfuzzy endorsed the Dem as well as the fact that the GOP initially was against hoffman and then gave him little support after Scuzzyfuzzy dropped out. It says a lot whenever you finish a race like Hoffman did after initially having both major national party machines against you. Think of what would have been if he had National GOP support from the beginning. If conservatives have a defeatist attitude about this race, then the RINOs in the GOP win. We can't afford that.
