Hoffman is moving up, and only 39% of the votes are in.

There is most certainly voter fraud going on, but I still think Hoffman is going win.

My jaw is still on the floor about NJ. Who would have thought??

This is a SWEET night!

Sarah's problem here is that she's viewed as national. As is Newt. Thompson. Cornyn. Huckabee. All of them.

That's a New England style of district. I think the district rejected outsiders coming in there and telling them who to vote for. Dede was not accepted by the base. Hoffman did not live in the district. They fought each other and Owens watches it happen and wins by default. After this dustup, Hoffman becomes the national candidate and Owens is local. If the county chairs had their heads out of their you know where, there wouldn't have been an issue.

The other thing is that there are a lot of dairy interests and a military base there that power the economy. Government dependency. It worked for McHugh since he took care of those interests. That's where the "doesn't live in the district" card killed Hoffman.

[Hawthorn]

>> maybe he’s just not that great a candidate after all. <<

Hannity interviewed Hoffman earlier tonite. Altho’ I’m sure he’s a very decent guy — and I certainly hope he wins big — he appears to have less political charisma than Gomer Pyle.

I’m seeing Hoffman -4 with 47% in. It’s not over at all.

[commish]

NY-23 beginning to close considerably. Hoffman is still trailing but it is going to be a nailbiter.

With all the machine problems and impounded ballots, this one will not be decided until tomorrow or later.

What the hell is going on in Salem County NJ. No votes reported yet.

I’m headed to bed... pretty sure I got the Swine Flu. Damn it.

Try my Grandpa's remedy:

If it works, you feel better,
If it doesn't, you don't care.

Let me post this. Corzine is a nitwit. And he can go jump off a rope. If you are in New Jersey, I know you can join me in wishing good riddance to that rotten man.

Way to go Governor-elect Christie!

[Shelayne]

LOL!

[mware]

Not so fast, Salem county still has not reported one vote.

[PermaRag]

Hoffman now -3 with 54% in. Down about 2,300 votes.

[07Jack]

HEY NOW!!!
I’m in South Jersey which means Im a fan of THE FIGHTIN PHILS who I hope I’ll be celebrating another big victory for tommorrow.

I appreciate the sentiments though!

[rwfromkansas]

[bustinchops]
