Ironic we would lose this one. I was thinking they would take NJ.

Long-time Repubs just habitually pull the lever for the “R” (Scuzzy was still on the ballot.) It was a strategic loss, not a referendum on conservatism.

Steele should immediatly resign.
There is no leadership at the RNC.
There is no leadership at the RNCC.
There is no leadershipa at the NY23 GOP Club.
Conservatives who supported Hoffman should purge NY23’s GOP club.

Heavily GOP area? I thought that last time around that area went for Obama?

So heavily Republican it was won by both Obama and Gore.

We who are conservatives will hold to conservative politicians who represent us and fight against the marxist dems and liberal GOP because we are conservatives.
New York is fast becoming just another morally and economically depraved blue state and the people love to have it so.

It wouldn’t have been close, but a Hoffman victory, had the GOP thrown it’s support earlier (and fully) behind him, instead of propping up Scozzafava who effectively stole the absentee ballots and siphoned off enough votes to spoil Hoffman’s victory.

Owens will represent the 23rd for one year. Come next November, after another year of The Messiah leading us, that district will be ready for Doug Hoffman...assuming the local Republicans aren’t so mad over his showing them to be buffoons and RINOs that they block him from the primary somehow.
Now if Scozzafava loses her Assembly seat in 2010 on top of that...sweet, sweet schadenfreude.

Owens won ONLY because Obama eliminated the strong Republican (McHugh) from the race.
Obama has a history of removing opponents before an election.
Obama played hardball in first Chicago campaign
As a community organizer, he had helped register thousands of voters. But when it came time to run for office, he employed Chicago rules to invalidate the voting petition signatures of three of his challengers. Obama's past battles The move denied each of them, including incumbent Alice Palmer, a longtime Chicago activist, a place on the ballot. It cleared the way for Obama to run unopposed on the Democratic ticket in a heavily Democrat district.

"...a New York congressional seat that became a fight over the identity of the Republican Party." That describes it. The NY Republican Party lost that seat.

Before the election, the media described the 23rd as liberal leaning or “purple”. Now the rat wins and it’s heavily GOP.

NEWT went for SCUZZIE early while knowing she was a liberal RINO.....he didn't believe what has been before his eyes since APRIL’s uprising ...and....AND is still growing...
..he had better get his **** together or he should write yet another book to confess why he thinks the USA needs to go Socialistic.

The whole point is we got rid of that skank Scuzzy! Hoffman, an unknown conservative, albeit not a republican held it close. This was in spite of a majority of the republican's and the republican party putting all their money a resources behind a LIBERAL!
This is at the very least a good turn of events for republican's.
