for poor bobo. See if you can wrap your mind around this. This was supposed to be the big tea-bagger victory. Rush has been all over foxnewstm crowing about how all the republicans need to do is run REAL CONSERVATIVES. A bunch of flyover carpetbaggers, including the great wicked bitch of the west, Sarah Palin, set down their markers and overturned the local republican party choice in favor of a "true conservative". They laughed at Newt Gingrich, and called him "too liberal". Surely, this overwhelming conservative district would ratify the anointed pick of Queen Sarah Palin. Surely.

Except...they didn't. The lesson of the day isn't that "more people voted against" Owens than for him, its that MORE PEOPLE VOTED AGAINST HOFFMAN, you idiot. That's why Owens (D) is likely to be the next congressman in NY-23, a district that hasn't gone (D) in 100 years.

Sorry for shouting.
