There should be more numbers tonight. It looks like Hoffman has NY-23 locked up. The liberal Republican endorsing the liberal Democrat not withstanding.
Probably has a lot to do with her endorsement of Owens.
I would a rather it be 51-52% after the latest shenanigans by Dede. But looking good so far.
Locked up with 45% ? How about the other 55%...aren’t those all Owens votes now???
“It looks like Hoffman has NY-23 locked up”
It ain’t over until the last vote is cast, anything can happen..........I just hope they keep ACORN out of it!
I think Hoffman is going to win by a sizable amount. This district is a real conservative Republican district. Most Republicans are going to go Hoffman as are most independents. Owens just doesn’t have enough voters available to win.
Honesty please. Palin wasn’t the only conservative who endorsed Hoffman.
Dede is still on the ballot, so the braindead will still vote for her.
Sorry, wrong thread.
No not at all. Hoffman was getting 45% Bill was only at 26% and Dede was at 17%. Hoffman has a large lead even after the endorsement of Owens by Dede.

“So this morning around 10 AM I started up our NY-23 poll and after a few hundred interviews it appeared that Doug Hoffman was now running away with it-unweighted numbers showed him at 45% to 26% for Bill Owens and 17% for Dede Scozzafava.”
“Honesty please. Palin wasn’t the only conservative who endorsed Hoffman.”
I’m beginning to think Palin might be the only conservative we have, speaking for us.
I heard something interesting, the locals know each other and are extremely leary of ‘outsiders’. I think there’s going to be plenty of conservative poll watchers. We’re fed up and this is the next movement, townhalls, teaparties, now the elections. We won’t be robbed anymore.
Not over till the last “lost” box of ballots is counted, which was found in someone’s trunk or, all the dead vote has been counted.
I believe there aren’t as many braindead in this district compared to urban districts.
Ah, got it...there’s an underlying assumption that people will still vote Republican despite the candidate dropping out?? That’s interesting...I wonder if at the polls the workers “remind” people if someone has dropped out??...magritte
I never said Palin was the only one. She was a very significant endorsement. Fred Thompson and all the others were also very significant. The fact that conservatives endorsed Hoffman unilaterally with the exception of those like Gingrich who have been trending left is important. This will be seen as a big win for Sarah Palin because she didn’t wait till it became expedient to endorse Hoffman. What will be also very clear are those who did not endorse him like Romney and others. Conservatives are on the ascendancy and those who ignore this will find themselves left behind.
When the fascists can't rob you by stealth anymore they just stick a gun in your face. We have guns too.
This is a Republican district. NY-23 isn’t Chicago.
Well, the fat lady has sung and it's beginning to look like a win for Hoffman and pretty much a career ending day for Newt and Steele.
