The best moment of last night election returns

[Little-Acorn]

The best moment of yesterday's election results, came as new governor-elect Chris Christie of New Jersey, gave his acceptance speech after defeating corrupt Democrat governor Jon Corzine.

The crowd was jubilant around Christie's podium, confetti was flying, all the usual.

The microphone was set up to catch Christie's remarks. But in the background, the huge crowd of Christie's Republican supporters could be heard chanting:

"Yes, we can! Yes, we can! Yes, we can....!"

Don't you seriously think the best part was the NY District 23 House race going Democrat first time since the 19th century?

I've been saying you pubbies better become more moderate because if you stick with the Druggie Limbaugh & Lonesome Roads Beck crowd you'll keep ending up unemployed like Caribou Barbie and now this Hoffman fellow.


Conservative Loses Upstate House Race in Blow to Right

Published: November 3, 2009
SARANAC LAKE, N.Y. — Democrats won a special election in New York State’s northernmost Congressional district Tuesday, a setback for national conservatives who heavily promoted a third candidate in what became an intense debate over the direction of the Republican Party.

Douglas L. Hoffman, a previously unknown accountant from Lake Placid, ran as a Conservative, and drew the backing of social and fiscal conservatives like Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck.

The White House became involved in the efforts to boost the Democratic candidate, Bill Owens, in the closing days of the campaign. The 23rd Congressional District leans Republican. With 89 percent of precincts reporting, the Democratic candidate, Bill Owens, led with 49 percent of the vote, while the Conservative Party candidate, Douglas L. Hoffman, had 46 percent, a margin of about 4,300 votes.

Mr. Hoffman spoke to a deflated crowd of about 50 in a hotel ballroom here soon after midnight on Wednesday and said he had called Mr. Owens to concede.

The district has been a Republican stronghold for generations, and the party has represented parts of it since the 19th century.

The battle became one of the most closely followed races in the nation, drawing in some of the biggest forces in politics in both parties. Republicans who viewed the race as a test of the party’s most deeply held conservative principles — including Sarah Palin, the former governor of Alaska; Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota, a presidential hopeful; and grass-roots groups that have forcefully opposed Democratic economic and health care policies — rallied behind Mr. Hoffman.

The Republicans have been suffering massisive loss after loss for several years. In the only race that had any national implecations, they lost again on Tuesday, losing a congressional seat Republicans had held since the Civil War. But they did claim two governor races, which will have little to no impact, except to residents of those two states.

But if they'd won a race for Head Dog Catcher they'd still act like they just won the political Super Bowl.

When you're so far down only 20% of Americans will even admit publicly they're a member of the tin-foil hat party, you gotta lower your expectations.

The Republicans split a vote causing a loss in NY-23rd. In both Governors races, Republicans won after multiple visits from the President and democratic money being poured in.

Not to mention, this poll you keep citing only has 30% of respondents identifying themselves as Democrats.... hardly stellar numbers.
