NY 23 election results - Bill Owens beats Doug Hoffman, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh

The Right Wingnuts led by Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, and Michelle Malkin lost their self-selected signpost election the 23rd Congressional District in New York. The ultra-conservative Republican candidate Doug Hoffman conceded to Democrat Bill Owens just about a half-hour ago. Owens gained 49 percent of the vote, versus 46 percent for Hoffman, and six percent for Dede Scozzafava, who's name was still on the ballot, even though she dropped out of the race. That the 23-rd District of New York is Democratic country didn't seem to phase these Couch Potato Conservatives.

  1. #1    That's good news. The article contains at least one error: "...the 23-rd District of New York is Democratic country..." NY-23 has elected nothing but Republicans since 1865. This is a massive blow to the blowhards. By the law of unintended consequences, their campaign of purity lost them an historic seat.

  3. #3    The Lunatic Left led by Barack Obama, and Joe Biden lost their self-selected signpost election in the Gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey. The ultra-socialist Democratic candidates John Corzine and Creigh Deeds conceded to Republicans Robert McDonnell and Chris Christie just about a half-hour ago.

    Guess you forgot to post that article.

  4. #4    Corzine is a Socialist? Ex-GoldmanSachs multi-millionaire Socialist?

  5. #5    Comment #4: Telling a NeoConfederate TROLL to "...go infect some other site where your bullsh!t is welcome..." will only assure that he STAYS. He is a TROLL. Until BuzzFlash.net administrators indentify him as such and ban him from their website, we're stuck with him, I'm afraid.

    However, I have found that if you don't use the Troll's screen name, but just identify the micreant as a TROLL, sometimes it will make the nit-wit mad enough to leave. It has worked with others.

  7. #7    In otherwords, the Dems basically lost, since the two Republicans together outpolled the Democrat.

    Twist all you want, the Dems got hammered last night, and it's only a prelude to the bloodbath that is going to ocurr in 2010. Hiding your heads in the Daily Kos sand won't help. Kossackian Democrats will do ANYTHING OTHER than reform the party, but reforming the Democratic Party is the only hope.

  8. #8    No, the only hope is refraining from voting for Democrats and voting for every other third party candidate. Let the Dems die out due to their failure to adequately address and respond to constituent issues, other than corporate constituents.

  9. #9    matt, what you are advocating would make sense in a place like Australia where voting is mandatory and turnout is near total. Then it's noticable when small parties receive protest votes. Its a zero-sum game. But here, half the elegible voters don't bother to participate in the first place. This off-year election saw 25% turnout. So when a party loses voters, unless it loses a lot of them, like the Republicans have in the last two years, they are just added to the "apathy vote".
    And you can pretty much ignore eeeeeeeeepppppppeeeeeeee's demand for reform, it's a red herring, there is no reform that would be extreme enough, short of mass suicide on the floor of the Senate and AIPAC sent to the firing squad, all followed by an exorcism. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeppppppppppppppppppeeeeeeeeee is convinced that the Democratic Party is posessed by Satan and everyone that has ever voted for a Democrat is EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEevvilllllllllllllllll. It would be hilarious if it wasn't such an obvious plea for help.
