So heavily Republican that the Democrats haven't held the seat for 160 years. New York Republicans tend to be more moderate than in other areas of the country, and past congressmen from that district tend to show that. If Hoffman runs again it 2012 then he'll have to bring back those Republicans who voted against him yesterday.
There needs to be ONE candidate for the GOP. And a Conservative one... not a RINO. Dede was too weak to win anything... but the fact that the she was the R on the ballot and the earlier cast absentee votes enabled her to be the perfect tool for the ‘rats to deny Hoffman the win.
Held by the type of 'Republicans' who would get an appointment from Obama. This is a liberal Republican district. The only reason Scozzafava considered herself a Republican is because she lived in this district. I still think if Hoffman had the 'R' after his name he would have won.
this is BS!
look up the real history of this district - not what the msm tells you.
