First returns, Clinton Co: Owens 103 Scozzafava 8 Hoffman 340

That is complete nonsense. Hoffman’s house was redistricted out in 2001. After the redistricting, he’s within a few miles of the district.

Well I have a friend who is a local talkradio show host and is from the Hudson Valley area of NY who would beg to differ.

[AmericanInTokyo]

The Freeper RINOS (yes, there are some of them), better known as the "Republican-Firsters", have been very quiet for weeks.

Now if Hoffman loses tonight, expect them to come out in FORCE on FR, and say "see, why support a Third Party or candidate even if they are conservative. Gotta vote for the person with the (R) after their name, regardless of what they stand for, OTHERWISE YOU WILL GIVE IT TO THE DEMOCRAT!!" (whine, whine, whine)

I can almost hear it now.

We have to shoot these people down, but good, when they pop up from their disgusting, RINO hovels.

Good to know...fingers crossed.

Hoffman closing 50-45...go Doug!!!

[roses of sharon]

Well, thank goodness for NJ and VA....this will help stop Obamacare.

It looks like idiots in NY could give a rats arse.

[Jeb21]

I hear there are some problems with voting machines in Conservative areas, from various news sources. ACORN and SEIU might have something to do with it.

[Hurricane Andrew]

I enjoy smiling...it’s so much better than being a liberal...

[workerbee]

The establishment GOP has been itching to use a Hoffman loss as a stick to beat Palin with. I said it from the moment she went public for Hoffman — NY23 is about Sarah Palin and Sarah Palin alone.

[roses of sharon]

Yikes, well I hope that the Hudson Valley area of NY is embarrassed as hell tomorrow if they give Obamacare a thumbs up!

[ntnychik]

With a third of the votes in...
Owens 51%
Hoffman 44%
Scozza... 5%

[Boiling Pots]

Hoffman cutting into the lead, 4.5 down with 39% in.

[newfreep]

Good news with Christie winning in NJ - really wanted a full trio sweep. Still early and Rove mentioned Hoffman should win.

Anything to keep the liberal/RINO established from regaining control of party is fine by me.

[smoothsailing]

What you said! :o)

[RatsDawg]

Nope, people on CNN are now saying that the White House has to get Obamacare through faster, because obviously America doesn’t like Obama because the his health care plan hasn’t passed yet.

Thats how they are spinning it. no joke. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2377959/posts
