Democrat wins House seat in heavily GOP area in NY (AP)

AP - President Barack Obama's decision in June to appoint a Republican congressman to a Pentagon post has paid dividends in November now that Democrats have gained the House seat by capitalizing on a split between moderates and conservatives in the GOP. » Full Story on Yahoo! News

I'll bet Hoffman's pissed at Sarah now. He'll refuse next time she wants to stick her nose in. She's the Kiss of Death.

As of 10:30 PM ET the Democrat Owens is in the lead with over 50% of the vote. The republican Scozzafava still got about 5% of the votes casted, even though she quit the race. A year ago, Republican John McHugh won the district with 65%. Well done, Sarah Palin! Thank you very much and keep up the good work getting Democrats elected.

Funny when all the republicans were giving the Goldman Sachs criminals the keys to the treasury it was okay then. This idiot calling himself a conservative is comical. He is a radical plain and simple. Were you idiotic right wingers war mongers laughing when Obama single handed crushed the GOP last November? I think not and while you are celebrating we are planning because these are meaningless states in the overall picture.

Seems to me that with insider tax evader Geithner in charge for Obama, as well as the TARP money Obama gives away like "obamachas" in Detroit, Obama and the Dems have bought into and tried to buy out Wall Street.

Looks like Liar-in-Chief Obama is at his old hypocritical ways again!

AS OF 8:25 PACIFIC TIME... THE LIBERALS ARE TRYING DESPERATELY TO SALVAGE THE NIGHT.

OBAMA WAS TOTALLY REJECTED IN NEW JERSEY AND VIRGINIA.

NOW, WE ARE WAITING TO SEE IF A LAST MINUTE CONSERVATIVE WITH OUT MAJOR BACKING BY EITHER PARTY CAN WIN IN NEW YORK.


THE FACT IS, THIS NIGHT WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE DESTRUCTION OF THE LIBERAL COMMUNIST CRUSADE IN AMERICA.



OBAMA IS DEFEATED... AND THE REMAINING LIBERALS MUST BE VOTED OUT OF OFFICE IN THE NEXT YEAR AND 2012.


AMERICA WILL NEVER BE A HAVEN FOR THE COMMUNISTS AND SOCIALISTS THAT EXIST IN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY

Damn...I was hoping the 3rd Party would pull through to send a message to Reps and Dems that Americans are sick of their tug of war at Americas expense.

No thanks to Sarah STALIN- I read "Kiss of Death"...guess she was. Sad.

Hoffman losing is the best thing for the Republican Party. Hardcore conservatives think that if Obama screws up, everyone is going to start opposing gay marriage, supporting endless and pointless foreign wars, and denying women choice. That's not gonna happen. If someone in the Republican Party wants to talk about limiting government and spending responsibly, I'll listen. If the party remains too busy waving bibles and shotguns to try to strengthen the economy and our dollar by reducing deficits, I'm not interested anymore.

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!

In my opinion, this was a very important race. The neo-cons were rejected. Maybe this will make some extremists realize that they are bad for the country.

The "kiss of death" was not Sarah Palin-it was the dummy's in charge at the RNC who spent 1 million $ on a democrat claiming to be a republican. Sarah Palin is likely the reason Hoffman has done as well as he has-and still might win.

STAN- THIS IS A STRANGE RACE.....

SCUZZY DROPPED OUT BUT SHE'S NOW GOT 6% OF THE VOTE.

ADD HER 6% TO HOFFMAN'S 46% AND HOFFMAN WOULD WIN EASILY.



SO YOUR ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN IT AS A HUGE DEFEAT FOR CONSERVATIVES DOES NOT WORK.

It is hard to push an independent expensively with acorn voter fraud. These races do reflect on dictator obama and his puppet master soros. Hey new world order globalists we are coming for you ! You will not steel our freedom.

I would rather have a moderate demarcate instead of a liberal extremist in republican clothing. The democrat was exploiting her spending record and the liberal extremist endorsed the democrat that is a trader and not needed in our country.

9:16 CNN IS CALLING IT FOR OWENS.... AT 49%

SO HOFFMAN 46% AND SCUZZY 5% WERE 51 %

IT'S NOT A VICTORY FOR LIBERALS

OR A DEFEAT FOR CONSERVATIVES...

IT'S A WASH



HOWEVER.... THERE'S ONLY 88% PRECINCTS REPORTING SO THINGS MAY STILL CHANGE
