NY-23 and liberal hubris
Excellent analysis on NY-23 and the Doug Hoffman candidacy. In two words: Conservative muscle:
The Democrat response to their recent election-day thumping is rather incredulous. For instance, while Sarah Palin phoned in her support for conservative US Congress candidate Douglas Hoffman in upstate New York, Obama made five personal appearances on behalf of Democrat incumbent governor Jon Corzine in New Jersey. Yet when Hoffman lost, the media said it was a big defeat for Palin. But when Corzine lost they said it was not a defeat for Obama but that the New Jersey election was all based on local issues.
Wouldn’t it seem like it was the other way around if you thought about it rationally?
The 2009 election was a big victory for resurgent conservatism and Republican core values, something that conservative true believers have been predicting since Obama’s election. Because we know that Democrats always overreach and shoot themselves in the ballot. And we know that the liberals are terrified that conservatism will rebound and counter the radicalism of the Democrats with pragmatic and widely appealing limits on government.
We can smell the fear on these leftist assholes. On to 2010!
George,
I hope you are right, but why do I see no sign yet that this is affecting my liberal friends? They are steadfast in their support of Obama and think anyone who doesn't like him belongs on another planet.
George, et al:
NY-23 MIGHT not be a done deal.

I am so pissed republicans (and Hoffman) don't demand recounts in close races. Look WTF Al Franken did for months, and STILL he's in the senate with bullshit fraud votes in his tally.
I'm sick of this crap.
The reason they are still stinging from Fla. 2000 is that they could NOT (try their damnedest to do so) steal the 2000 election ... and then tried again in 2004 here in Ohio with the same crap.
