THE BIG PICTURE. We keep saying that we’d rather have a D screw things up then an R. It’s only a year. We’ll take this seat back...And all the others. What a bunch of whiny babies...I’m shocked at FR. This was a huge night for us and some of you are just choosing to be miserable.
Not me, Hildy! I'm kind of down about Hoffman, but I AM looking at the big picture. The campaign for NY-23 2010 starts in less than one year... we'll get it back!
I'm thrilled by the McDonnell GOP win in VA (plus the Lt. Governor and Atty General) and absolutely stunned that Christie won in NJ. A political earthquake, as Sean Hannity has said. Overall a great night!
I actually was more interested in the NY congressional race than the VA and NJ gubernatorial races because it’s at the federal level. Congressmen can do more to stop Obama’s march toward the annihilation of freedom better than governors can. Now, as a bellwether of eletoral sentiment, it’s a good night, no question. AND, even though the results don’t put any direct obstacles in front of the Pres__ent, that bellwether effect will also get noticed by RINO’s and Dems from conservative districts, and make it harder for him to ram through any more Marxism. So I agree, all in all, a good night.
Hildy, you cheer for Republicans.
You wouldn’t understand those of us who are interested in something larger and more meaningful.
Winning a seat from a sitting incumbent is never an easy thing. Never.
As history goes, a decade from now, Owens is more than likely to be still in office.
I warned people like you earlier in the decade that Hillary! was going to get reelected too, no matter what happened.
In my own birth district, CA23, we lost a special election to a Democrat who promised to term limit herself. Over a decade later, she's still there.
