Nice going Palin, Pawlenty
Let's all give a hearty round of applause to the teabaggers, who took what
would've been a very good night for Republicans and ruined it by helping
Democrats pick up a seat they hadn't held since the Civil War.
Glenn Beck? Thanks!
Sarah Palin? Thanks!
Tim Pawlenty? Thanks!
Club for Growth? Thanks!
Ironically, the NRCC, the RNC, Newt Gingrich and the smartest Republican in
the world, Tom Davis (former NRCC chair) were right -- the Republican Party
needs to be more of a big tent to successfully compete in the Northeast and
other non-Southern parts of the country.
So let's sit back and watch the teabaggers go to war against the GOP
establishment, even though it was the national and local GOP that knew how
to best hold the seat.
While the Virginia and New Jersey losses hurt, governor races usually
revolve around local issues. if the question was "are voters angry at the
direction of Congress and want Democrats stopped", then the answer is
clear -- Democrats won both congressional races, including the über-reliable
NY-23. Even in conservative districts (at least those outside the South),
people don't want what the teabaggers are selling.
Update: Neither NY-23 or CA-10 have been called as of this posting, but both
races are over.
Update II: Nate has the county breakdown in NY-23. Biggest wildcard is 6,000
absentees, but in a three way contest (Scozzafava was still in the race for
much of the absentee period), there's little chance that Hoffman picks up
the 4,000+ votes he needs.
Update III: Fox has called it for Owens. I don't think anyone else has...
Update IV: Hoffman concedes, and Dick Armey's "tip of the spear" ... kind of
flaccid.
Thanks again, crazy conservatives, for giving us Dems something to cheer
about in an otherwise rough tonight -- especially in the one race that seems
to have true national significance.

Let the GOP Civil War BEGIN!
Repubs are still working on the "ACORN stole it" footage.

It was an excellent night for the GOP. New York 23 was not a contest
that made or break the GOP.

I would like to thank all those people for highlighting the fact that
Scozzafava was a Liberal. She is pro-abortion, pro-card check,
pro-homosexual marriage, pro-stimulus, pro-cap and trade and
pro-ObamaCare. The press would like her labeled as a Moderate to show
that the GOP does not have a "big tent." Show me if the DNC's "tent"
has room for a politician who is pro-life, anti-card check, pro
marriage between a man and a woman, anti-stimulus and is against the
bills that Congress has on table for health insurance reform.
It's a shame that Hoffman entered the race 30 days prior to the
election.

Scozzafava and Owens initially were the two contestants Owens, the
Dummycrat and Scozzafava, the Republican. The local Republican Party
chose Scozzafava and the National Republican Party had no say in
choosing her except support the local party's choice. Since Hoffman
was not figured into the contest until it was too late, the GOP spent
it's resources on Scozzafava. Scozzafava was a candidate of
convenience.

If they didn't know then, they know now. RINOS will not be acceptable.
Obama and Biden spent a considerable time in supporting Corzine.
Conclusion: Their coat tails meant nada. Lesson to be learned, Obama
proved to be radio active in the bluest of states.

You are not paying attention. The gubernatorial races don't matter. The House
races do. |
