My husband had talk radio on in the kitchen this morning and I didn’t hear the whole report (really have no idea who was giving it.) But the person mentioned something I hadn’t thought about.
He said in the case of NY, and NJ, for that matter, when a voter sees that their candidate has no way to win (i.e. Scozzafava, and Daggett)...they’ll go with another candidate at the last minute. Whoever the reporter was believed this tendency would put Hoffman winning by a good margin, and possibly do the same in NJ, resulting in Corzine’s defeat.
Sad but true fact that far too many people fail to vote for whom they want to see win but instead vote for who they think will win.
Seems they’d prefer to claim to vote for the winner, no matter who it is, than to admit voting for a failed candidate.
And that seems to happen a lot on FR too when discussing electibility.
I pray he's right. We need to hold onto that seat badly to stop Obama and his Marxist policies. If Hoffman succeeds, it should make the rest of the fools in Congress realize we will not put up with their shenanigans any longer while stopping Obama in his tracks. The stakes are high on this gamble, but a winner take all scenario that we win is the optimum.
