The top three reasons for the election of a Democrat in one of the most conservative Republican districts in America are Conservative Vote Splitting, Conservative Vote Splitting, and Conservative Vote Splitting, Congressman. In case you can't read the election results, the majority of people in the 26th district voted AGAINST your Obama-loving Democrat. But gloat all you want and pretend you have a mandate, you'll find out next November that Kathy Hochul and her views on "medicare" are about as popular in NY-26 as Charles Djon was in Hawaii-1 after the Dems stopped splitting their votes there.

Not very conservative if they voted for a rat!

No, the fake Tea Party candidate didn't swing it. The GOP completely allowed Hochul to lie about her opposition to Medicare cuts in Obamacare and set the narrative back to the evil Republicans are going to gut Medicare again, and too many sheeple fell for it. Nevermind that Obamacare completely guts Medicare.

Now the Dems have that narrative going into 2012 and will force Republicans to "compromise" on Medicare and kick the can down the road.

Oh well, I say let the program go belly-up and people can riot in the streets.
