New York Election Results: Updates On NY-23 Race

*****CHECK BACK HERE AT NINE PM ET FOR RESULTS*****

The nation focused on a rural swath of northern New York state Tuesday in an unusually relevant special congressional election in which the Democrat sought to exploit a split in Republican loyalties and recapture a seat held for decades by the GOP.

The race started about five weeks ago with three candidates and is ending with two -- Democrat… » Full Story on Huffington Post

11:30 PM ET and with 76% of precincts reporting; Democrat Owens leads with 49% of the votes casted. The Tea Baggers want to change America. I guess you are doing it but you seem to not understand what you are doing. Well, Sarah Palin for President in 2012. Go, Sarah, go!

Ignorance abounds in district 23. Voting for someone no longer on the ballot? Voting for a democrat which will only add to the socialist party? I should have expected it. People re-elected Murtha, Dodd and Frank, all of which have shown to be corrupt. I thought people loved this country and wanted someone who believed in the ideals of our founding fathers and the Constitution. I guess in district 23, they don't.

If I were Arianna Huffington, I would be making my suitcases to go to
Greece (that's where she came from to marry a wealthy American), and also move assets to Greece that show more stability than the U.S. due to the fact that she doesn't know when Obama is going to turn against her after he uses her as one of the useful fools that praises him all the time. Obama is following the classical script of the Dictators of the Left, and eventually he will discard the newspapers, TV anchors and liberal radio announcers that have kissed his behind during the last two years. He will create his own propaganda machine and the useful fools are left to wither and die. Look at the Hollywood stars selling their homes cheap after kissing his behind too. This is just a warning...UM...UM...UM...

I don't think you can count on Owens as someone who will always vote the Democrat/Obama party line. He is in a district that is still basically conservative and I am sure his constituents will be watching his voting record. Similarly, alot of members in Congress are getting the message that if they want to get re-elected and stay on the Federal gravy train, they better start supporting their constituents instead of caving in to party leaders.

Palin = Failing. She wrecked a sure Republician win. Time and time again Americans have shown we do not want radical right wing conservatives.

Palin has successfully pushed moderates like myself out of the GOP. And this is what happens. Keep following her in 2012 and see what happens.

Fat boy they are looking closely that is why Dede Scozzafava had to pull out as conservatives rallied against her and Washington (who selected her) and won. Even though the independent didn't win conservatism did. They wasted $900,000 and we all know thrid parties lack funding so it is hard for them to go up against the two party system and win. Let's not forget Scozzarava got behind the Democrat..........RINO!!

It's very reassuring that independents won NJ and VA for the GOP and the whackjobs who tried to take NY-23 were shot down.

I would like to know who the 11 republican committee members are that backed Scozzafava to run, knowing full well she was backed by ACORN and Soros. I believe that someone should look into their backgrounds. You might find out some interesting information on them.

With a blue NJ, it would have been an unbelievable slam dunk.
As other said before me, thank you tea baggers.

As we have been saying, dumocraps cannot run a country but they can RUIN one. If any of the dumocraps want a chance to win re-election in 2010, they better start questioning this president that is STILL PAYING over $1.7 million to hide his past.

How this country goes will be determined in the 2010 elections. The elections yesterday were nothing more than a test of the waters for many. You can be assured that those in Washington DC were watching the results carefully. Those who are in office now would be best served to re-evaluate thier priorities and start working on behalf of this nation as a whole. To blindly continue along the path that they have been going will ensure thier failure in a re-election bid. The citizens of this country have been awakened and will no longer accept business as usual in D.C. Only a blind person would not be able to see what is now happening amongst the citizenry of this country.

You people in New York and California need to get a f***** clue. You cannot complain about high taxes, job losses, mounting debt, and the poor quality of government services when you continue to put slimy liberal Democrats into office term after term. You can't even see how those politicians use you like toilet paper.

Gotta love it! Keep going, BOTH sides! Just continue the name calling, the racist BS, and everything else. Someday you might actually learn to present a statement without them, but I'm not holding my breath. Someday you'll figure it out that BOTH parties are actually in the minority and that it is the Independants in this country that need to be swayed to one cause or the other. The statements made in here are a reflection of how well our CON gress works together, which is NOT AT ALL. A little civility and mutual respect tend to go a long way. This is why I have now been able to identify whose posts I just cruise on by without even reading anymore. They have NO point to make except to spout BS.

Today's right is so fractured it almost feels as though it is divided into three different groups. There are now conservatives who go after republicans for not being conservative enough. They are fighting amongst themselves and have no real ideas about the future of this country.

They spent so many years trying to woo the fringes of this country; the most religious just to gain votes in the short term that they never once thought that the evangelical base might want something in return for that vote. The Republican Party made this bed and they are none to comfortable to lie in it.

SarahQuiter did to Alaska like she did to her last child born.

SarahQuiter ignored all the medical warnings not to fly on airplanes during her last trimester of pregnancy and flew down to Texas to give a rightwingnut republiKKKlan governor speech. In the early morning hours before giving the speech, SarahQuiter's water broke in her hotel room, meaning that the unborn baby is ready to be born. Instead SarahQuiter ignores the baby and gives her rightwingnut speech and then instead of going to a hospital in Texas to give birth, she gets on an airplane for the long flights to Seattle and then change planes to fly to Anchorage. Then instead of going to a hospital in Anchorage, she drives 50 miles to Wasilla.

SarahQuiter is dangerously incompetent who put her own baby at great risk just so she can be in the spotlight to give a rightwingnut speech.
