Hoffman did a FANTASTIC job, for a 3rd Party candidate.

Of handing the seat to the Democrats.

If the race had only been between Owens and Scozzafava, a Democrat was going to win either way. At least this way, the less liberal Democrat won.

[Finny]

Your Republican Scozzafava endorsed the Democrat! Who handed what to whom, exactly?

RINO establishment mentality is what handed the seat to the Democrat. It's been doing so for quite awhile now, which is why so many of us now REFUSE to vote anymore for liberal Republicans -- all they do is make Democrat big government liberalism stronger. To vote for a liberal Republican just to keep the seat away from a liberal Democrat is engaging in Einstein's definition of insanity. Some of us have finally figured it out.

nonsense!

I ordinarily would not support a 3rd Party move, but this was a special case, where the GOP “leadership” in NY did us dirty.

This had to happen!

The victory was in pushing out Skuzzy.

Anyone with ANY political wisdom knows that Hoffman did an outstanding job, and that Skuzzy would not have won, anyway, even if Hoffman had not entered the race.

Having a liberal Republican would've done more harm than good. Pelosi would've had TWO republican votes on her health care fiasco, to call it a bipartisan bill.
