:oLooks like Conservative Party nominee Doug Hoffman is going to win this seat, representing the Adirondacks. The Republican(really liberal) candidate has dropped out leaving it as a 2 man race. The incumbant Rep left to become Army Sec.
As has been stated many times here, upstate NY is not at all like NYC.

I hope you are right.

I've read ACORN and other leftist organizations are moving in with truckloads of money and community organizers with expertise in vote fraud.

Wonderful, that coincides with the opening of big game season in the Northern Zone. ;)
 
I think NY23 is going to be radioactive for the leftist's this go round? Far too many of their fingerprints via front organizations, have been found at the scenes of too many elections for them to now keep an effective lid on it. Of course that won't prevent long winded legal system accusations of voter fraud? But no one will want to be the one left on camera when the music finally stops and the goof is left without a chair. Funny how conservative's had to drag what supposedly is "our" own party across the finish line in this one, no? Perhaps the RNC should start listening a bit more closely. It seems to work every single time it's truly tried?
I can't WAIT for our new crop of Iraq/Afghanistan vets to come on line as candidates! They'll then have their chance to save the nation twice in one lifetime! From all that I see of them, they're more than up to the task!
 
Spotteddog;
I think any resemblance between the NY State Republican Party and the party most other places is strictly coincidental. Actually that is true for much of the NE and of course CA as well. Had there been a primary Hoffman would most likely have won going away.
Here in FL the locals are telling the National GOP to butt out of our senatorial nomination. The Dems look like picking between A. Grayson and K. Meeks, wow, even our infamous CL2 Brown looks as though she will see competition.
To quote the voters; "I am mad as hell and I am not going to take it any more."

The Republican party in "most other places" ain't much to brag about either. After all, who gave up control over the House, Senate and WH? Sure wasn't the officials in the Northeast. Take a look at Virginia, NC and Indiana...all 3 went democRAT in 2008.
Having said that, I consider myself a Conservative, not one of today's Republicrats.

That liberal "Republican" is a real piece of work (or should I say POS). According to Fox News, she has thrown her support and endorsement to ..... the Democratic candidate.
 
These politicians swap parties to accomodate whichever way the voting wind is blowing.

It's too much work for some to find out where the candidate's true intentions and record is so they simply vote the party line and then are amazed by the consequences.
 
Probably not.

Scuzzy-what's-her-name endorsed the Democrat out of spite. The district went for Obama last November.

The D will likely take it.

Ditto with New jersey -- Corzine is in a dead heat,w hich means the ACORN vote will push the election his way. Vote early, vote often!

Things are looking better in Virginia. But that's only one for three.
 
It seems Virginia and New Jersey went the "right" way but, we lost in NY23. If that lib Scuzzy was the best the GOP could come up with, I don't see much of a future there.

Just my opinion, for what it is worth.
 
I just woke up and am now heading out the door to a men's prayer breakfast. I checked the news and found out that Conservatives (in some cases this means Republicans) won the Governors races, this race in NY state and in general across the board. In Maine same sex marriage was turned back by voters. I'm not sure what else was decided. Some may say this is not a big deal. But you can be absolutely sure that if Virginia had gone democrat, read that fallen again for obama, it would have been front and center on the broadcast of the msm. Make no mistake about it... the votes taken yesterday are significant. For Conservatives there is cause for celebration. Sincerely. brucev.
 
And in keeping with the theme of this forum, what does all the above mean for 2A and gun enthusiasts?

As far as NJ goes, I don't believe the gun laws will change. But perhaps if things look up under Christie (a liberal Republican), the worm just may turn in future elections.
 
Well Christie and McDonnell are both pro 2nd, that's good.
I heard the Conservative Hoffman speak on tv last night at length for the first time, now I understand why he lost. I'll leave it at that. NY 23 went democRAT for the first time since the Civil war. Maybe the Rep's will run a coherent candidate in 2010.
