Bill Owens will win NY 23 US Congressional race, Dems to expand House majority


I am calling it, Hoffman can't make up 4,000 votes there.

MSM, where are you?

9. I understand he's a DINO, sad to say.
But I'll relish this victory tonight. And sticking a thumb in Satan Palin's eye is oh so sweet.

2. The media is not going to call it for a while
People from all over believe this race, the Democrat vs the ACORN-scapegoating, Glenn Beck loving Conservative is a very important race.

4. 4000 out of 34000 to go, but from which areas?
That means Doug "The Slug" Hoffman has to get 19000 to Owens' 15000 to tie -- about 56%. This is going to be a white knuckle finish. And how many absentee ballots have to be counted?

7. Thank God for at least some good news tonight
After seeing the results in Virginia and New Jersey. It amazes me how people have such a short memory of how the republicans destroyed this country and how gullible people are to listen to all of these right wing nut jobs on the radio and FOX and how lazy many of our fellow Democrats are. My God, how hard is it to go out and vote?

10. His lead is about the same as Christie's in NJ over Corzine, which has been called
I know apples and oranges but I am just saying that is a fair lead with that many votes in.
