Bummer. Thousands of votes remain uncounted, and I’m not even talking disenfranchised soldiers.

At least we now know what % of the GOP is RINO or blitheringly stoopid. Its a very small number too.

If the GOP wants to win 6% of the vote, let them.

Job well done, Hoffman. Thanks for your effort and your faith in Conservatism. May the GOP grow into a real political party due to your efforts and those like you. As for RINOs... BWAHAHAHAHAHHAH!

We lost bigtime tonight. The other races were meaningless compared to this one. Winning this was imperative to teaching the GOP a lesson that it refuses to learn. I think that any meaningful win in 2010 is dead at this point, because we’ve lost the fight in our own party that needs to take place before we can win on the national stage.

It never occured to Al Franken to concede. He hung in there until the last votes were counted (and recounted and recounted) and now he's a US Senator. NEVER, EVER conceed defeat...

Are you nuts? This one race is nothing compared to taking two states... if the idiots who voted for the DIABLO had backed Hoffman he would have won.

No... the GOP lost a seat tonight. They were the losers. We are the winners because we kicked them in the shins and got their attention. Conservatives won tonight. If Hoffman had won, he'd be in an ineffective minority party. Just taking up space. He should consider running again in 2010...

Yes, apparently, I’m ‘nuts’. It must be that I’m not ‘nuanced’ enough to get the idea that a GOP win is a win for the people in the GOP who are fighting to win the country back. We LOST tonight. At least my team lost tonight. Yours might have won, but my team’s hopes of fixing what’s wrong with the GOP lost in a bad way.

I disagree. The man was a 3rd candidate and only running for 30 days. It was a close call. Great job Doug.

It was an inspirational run against the dead soul apparatchiks.

I think his concession was premature, but his concession speech has more substance than either of the presidential candidates uttered last year, even if you combined their platitudes.

We won 2 out of 3 and you’re saying we lost big time? Scuzzy was unmasked as the flaming liberal that she is. Newt was outed as the party liner that he is. We lost bigtime? Oh, I don’t think so. Go read Sarah Palin’s latest Facebook entry and man up.
