[Undercurrent]

1. Fox was saying exactly the opposite yesterday. I guess THEY LIE!

2. I call it first. Cathy Bates should play Scozzafava in a made for TV movie

some kind of dark comedy about how the roiling masses of miseducated fucked up conservatives are helping destroy themselves and any potential power they might have wanted.

3. LOL!

4. LOL. Gotta love it. And Ms. Scozzafava is right, Owens knows the district.

Would represent it better than his opponent. Saw a local paper from the district, mentioned here on DU, that previously had endorsed Scozzafava come out with an endorsement of Owens.

:kick:

5. I was called into work yesterday to create an emergency Owens mail piece...

...after Scozzafava dropped out. I'm surprised they didn't call me back in again to add the endorsement to the mailer. This is going to be an interesting one!

6. Obama should endorse Hoffman. Freeper heads would explode.

Owens could tell the idiot conservatives that a vote for Hoffman is a vote for Obama. Fuck them up.

7. good

8. Great News and the UAW CAP Region 9 have switched their

endorement to Bill Owens~

<snip>

"The first ones out of the gate: United Auto Workers CAP Region 9… endorsing Democrat Bill Owens."

“We would like to commend Dede Scozzafava for a hard-fought campaign and she will always be a friend of the UAW. Like Bill Owens, she has been a fighter for working families and a dedicated public servant. Doug Hoffman’s commitment to privatizing Social Security, opposing efforts to reform healthcare, and supporting tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans is directly at odds with the best interests of working families in Upstate New York, and right now we can’t afford to send a voice for those kinds of priorities to Congress.”

9. Both Faux and the NRCC lied...

"Scozzafava was criticized by members of her party for being too moderate on social issues. However, it's unclear how much of an impact her endorsement will have since there were mixed messages coming out of the GOP -- a spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee said Saturday that Scozzafava was releasing her supporters to vote for Hoffman."

And today on Faux they "reported" that the Repub. dropped out to "unite the Republican party" around Hoffman so he can beat the Dem. :eyes:

10. Hoffman is screwed!

Teabaggers PWNED!!!

[jenmito]

11. Michael Steele will probably come out with a statement saying a win for Owens is a win for Repubs.

:D

[Kdillard]

12. Hopefully this will be good news for Owens. I really want Michael

Steele to have egg on his face.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

14. Yeah

Didn't he say that a Hoffman win would be a win for the GOP? Looks like their own "official" nominee actually just threw the party under the bus. An Owens win would now be a catastrophe for them. Ummmmm........how's the weather down there, Michael? :rofl:

13. this race just keeps getting better. let's hope teabaggers keep pulling this stunt across the us. nt
