Here we go,they couldn't wait to blame Palin for this. This whole affair was handled in a ham handed manner starting with Newt and then the bandwagon jumpers.The real problem goes back to the people who picked Skitzofava to begin with.At the end of the day maybe Hoffman just wsn't that great a candidate.People may have also rejected the outsider meddling.Still I expect to see something oddball coming out of this race in the next week or so. Something doesn't add up.

Hahahahaha.

"The 2009 elections don't have to be a bellwether for 2010 -- but they could be, if Democrats aren't careful."

Madden brushes off the huge successes of Republicans and finds meaning in the sole little dem who won.

As 0bama gets more frantic and stamps his foot even harder to push his healthscare and cap'n tax disasters down our throats, he will turn 2010 into an outright bloodbath for himself and his corrupt party.

They sure have their knickers in a bind,don't they?

I'd bet that Sarah Palin doesn't know that she's more powerful than Cheney, Rove, Halliburton and Ronald Reagan combined. Oh, and throw in a bushel of Bushes for good measure. hahaha.

How many last minute candidates ever ever garnered more than 45% of the vote anywhere in this country.

Perot with all his millions of dollars and months and months of campaigning couldn't get more than an itty bitty number of votes.

Even Larry King couldn't get Perot elected, so don't gloat too much over Hoffman's defeat.

While they gloat, we continue apace at returning the GOP to Constitutional principles.
This movement is in it's infancy. The time frame was exceedingly short (after we became aware of how corrupt the RNC,RNCC,Newt, Michael and the boys are). 2010 primaries are the target. Make sure that there is a conservative in the primary race on both the Dem and GOP ballots. Use the primary (absent in NY-23) to push the liberals out, including the incumbents.

What I'm hoping is that the republican party gets the message. As much as we want to vote the bums out of congress (and the whitehouse)perhaps we should clean house of the liberal republicans that seem to be running the party.

And yet another punditocrat gets it exactly backward. It was not the voting public that got schooled yesterday, the voting public schooled the RNC. This mook wants us to just line up behind whoever our betters choose. We refuse to learn that lesson.

What we did was teach the RNC that we would NOT simply follow them blindly over a cliff, that if they insist on selecting this kind of candidate, the base will simply not show up, or we will back a candidate outside of their control, no matter what the odds.

The left wants to paint this as a civil war, and in a sense they are right, but it is not going to make the party ineffectual, it is going to strengthen it. The RNC is going to have to back candidates the voters want, not candidates the RNC wants. We demand candidates that share our views, we will never again blindly vote for a slightly conservative liberal just because there is an R after their name.

#6 makes the definitive point. Hoffman would not have done as well without conservative support, and we would not have known to do that had it not been for Saracuda!
You. Go! Girl!!!

FTA: "the whims of... a bunch of Tea Party rowdies..."

Uhhh, Mike? Are you talking about the Rowdies of December 16th, 1773, or November 3rd, 2009?
