Absolutely right! On the money all the way! Huffman did achieve a triumph for the conservative movement. He caused the Democratic candidate to win in a district with 45,000 more Republicans than Democrats. He handed the Democrats a district that was held by the Republicans since 1871. This is exactly what “movement conservatives” are doing to the Republican Party. The Grand Old Party is being devoured from within by clerical fascists, religious fanatics, and illiterate Palinites. Until the Republican Party purges itself of these Luddites, it will be a minority party, and a shrinking minority, at that.

Marc – one other trivia note: Owens has campaigned against the public option. So his rather bumpy win on that basis doesn’t do anything in terms of shoring up Congressional support for socialized medicine.

This is significant, because socialized medicine is the deal-breaker for this Republic, and both sides know it. BHO has virtually staked his presidency on passage of socialized medicine because he knows it’s the key to the left’s future dominance of America. Now it looks like it’s going to become a midterm campaign issue, which is the last thing he, Pelosi and Reid wanted: shades of HillaryCare’s demise in the ’94 midterm campaign season (not to mention, uhm, the outcome of the ’94 midterm campaign season).

So the only thing we did NOT get out of the NY23 race was a seat in Congress… for a year. Having traded that for slapping down the GOP sellouts and publicly revealing their craven choice (DIABLO Dede) for who and what she was (Arlen in unfashionable drag), I think there’s plenty of reason to feel good about it.

Hoffman has conceded, but there are a LOT of votes to be counted. Still, I’m fine with it. The lesson is perhaps even greater for the GOP. They lost a seat that they need not have, because they crossed the line. They’d completely abandoned the Party principles in order to win an election. They’d bought into the Leftist meme of “running Centrists”. Anything for power. Apparently, McCain losing wasn’t message enough. Notice has been served. You uphold the Party principles, or you lose.

It is a shame Hoffman lost, however. Congress could use an honest accountant. Just sayin’.

Hoffman concedes. I guess this means I’ll be the last poster to this thread.

“The hard core social values agenda that blotto and other PJM posters advocate doesn’t play well here. What will play is a pragmatic & moderate agenda that advocates conservative fiscal policy, individual freedoms, job creation with moderate economic growth (boom & bust cycles damage our state economy), and a balance between exploiting & conserving our wonderful natural environment.”

Are you saying Roe vs Wade is not the one of the most INTRUSIVE GOVERNMENT ATTACKS upon the right of individual liberty since the founding of the Republic? Not one single American ever receive their right to vote on the one single issue which is now a law of the land by judicial fiat!

Are you saying that ‘raising one’s hand to fradulent Climate Change’ is fiscally conservative?

Are you saying ‘same-sex union between opposite sex’ is logical and holds meaning?

What in the heck are you saying; your words are thoroughly confusing your own use of the words ‘pragmatic & moderate’.

The problem is too many Darwinian apes with Ivy-League Law degrees are turning this fine Republic into a basket case of rotting bananas; all meaning of even the most simplest of words are lost to apes wearing robes.

Okay, of guello, since you choose to hum over the song of truth regarding NY 23, here’s another one for you – Virginia has voted opposite of the most recent presidential election eight times in a row, since the 1970s.

But please, have your Spin Parade. “Oh, it’s seismic! We haven’t seen anything like it since, well, almost two years ago!”

tennwriter, what makes you think conservatives of any sort are happy with the governator?

We should all be tough, principled, and clever like the fish-cons and their hero, the Governator who has done so well in California.

Oops.

Can I have an abortion on this statement?

Fiscons need to get real.

109 of guello:

“Keep trying to rain on our parade libtard creep!You lost the 23rd!”

I’m sure that you, of guello, knows – The district (including its predecessors) hasn’t been represented by a Democrat since 1871. Some areas of the district haven’t been represented by a Democrat since 1851, when the Whig Party still existed.(Wiki)

That’s quite a parade. Hey, I hear Alabama is a toss up in 2012! Cross your fiiiingers.
