SARANAC LAKE, N.Y. – I caught Watertown, N.Y., Mayor Jeff Graham, who endorsed NY-23 Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman this weekend, looking very glum at Doug Hoffman’s election party. I asked him what happened in Jefferson County, where Watertown is located, and where Democrat Bill Owens is leading the vote.

“We lost,” said Graham. “The Scozzafava endorsement, the [Watertown Daily Times] endorsement of Owens–I mean, they roughed Hoffman up.”

Could Hoffman still pull out a win? Graham grimaced. “It’s over.”

As I said before, this is New York. This is a state where Congressmen like Charles Rangel could be caught robbing a bank in broad daylight and still get re-elected. NY-23 is just a reflection of the entire state.

New York deserves everything it gets.

Scozzafava plus Hoffman has more votes than Owens.

Bring in Karl Rove. He’ll know who to call.

4% — still too close to call.

Watch for the little ACORNs trying to grow the votes in NY into mighty oaks.

I'll believe it when I see it. Not all counties are in yet and I learned not to trust any news article from a new station that starts with the word "washington".

Oh, how a once noble and illustrious name has been tarnished, the name that stemmed from one of the 1st and greatest US generals and presidents.

The Hoffman people have told RedState that they believe they have pulled off the win.

Yes, but Dede endorsed Owens. Her votes mostly went to Owens.

Keep in mind, that’s a liberal news site. They may well be right, but I’ve been told we won’t get all returns until tomorrow because a voting machine broke down. If it goes South for Hoffman, though, look for the Dems to play this up big-time.

Who’d a thought we would win NJ and lose NY23?

I’m afraid so. Better Owens though than Scuzzyacorn. Hopefully the GOP has learned its lesson.

Someone should be covering Gingrich and Scozzafava with tar, feathers and boiling tea over this.

F'ing traitors cost Hoffman his victory.

If so....it is war over every Republican who is left of center in the U.S.

It is time to pull the plug on every politician who can cover their tracks with the Constitution.....
