Taliban, Stalinists take over in Virginia and New Jersey!
Cold Fury —
And the lesson for Barrackhorroids in all that is clear, despite the “it doesn’t matter” spin we’ll be seeing the next several days from panic-stricken Democrat Socialists and their Dead-Media handmaidens. For the GOP, the lesson from NY23 is clear enough too; Malkin spells it out for the Stupid Party leadership: Conservatives owe NY-23 candidate Doug Hoffman immeasurable gratitude. He overcame impossible odds (single digits just a month ago) to come within two points of defeating Democrat Bill Owens. Hoffman had zero name recognition. National Republican Party officials ...

JammieWearingFool —
... Dede Scozzafava back out of the race under extreme pressure from within her own party and the Right Wingnut fringe. They - led by media pundits Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, and Michelle Malkin - hand picked Doug Hoffman as the man who would save them. With their withering communications drumbeat, Hoffman rose from nowhere in the polls to the point of being considered the front runner before tonight's election. I'm sure Limbaugh will address the spin this afternoon. Meanwhile, Malkin has her analysis. I wonder what kind of spin the SF Chronicle will have on the gay marriage ...
No More Mister Nice Blog — ... do not campaign as conservatives that they lose," that (as Limbaugh fan Dick Cheney said in spring '09) "We win elections when we have good solid conservative principles to run upon." That's what these guys always say: the right didn't lose in 2006 in 2008; Republicans -- sellout liberal Republicans (like, y'know, John McCain) -- lost. Well, the right lost in NY-23 yesterday. **** But wait -- no! The right won! Just ask Michelle Malkin! As I've repeated many times over the last several ...

Election: Democrats Should Be Nervous, Republicans Should Wake Up

Quick takes:
Hoffman loss: What She said. Michelle Malkin nails it:
Conservatives owe NY-23 candidate Doug Hoffman immeasurable gratitude. He overcame impossible odds (single digits just a month ago) to come within two points of defeating Democrat Bill Owens. Hoffman had zero name recognition. National Republican Party officials dumped nearly $1 million into the race on behalf of radical leftist GOP candidate Dede Scozzafava, who then turned around, endorsed Owens and siphoned off 5 percent of the vote with her name still on the ballot after she ...

... calls the NY-23 result "a huge win for conservatives" and explains: "I have said all along that the goal of activists must be to defeat Scozzafava. Doug Hoffman winning would just be gravy." Michelle Malkin agrees: "Better a donkey in office that acts like a donkey than a donkey in elephant's clothing making a complete ass of the GOP." Liberal bloggers, on the other hand, are mocking the role that the conservative movement played in the NY-23 race. ...

A View Of NY-23 From The People Who Live There
Below The Beltway —
... of discussion and debate on the nuts-and-bolts issues of the complex 23rd Congressional District does a disservice to its residents.
No one in Washington votes in this election, but inside the Beltway cadre’s efforts to decide this election is an arrogant abuse of political ambition.
It’s also stupid because it completely ignores the old admonition that, in the end, all politics is local.
Rather than spending time reading the likes of Michelle Malkin, Erick Erickson, Robert Stacey McCain, and Sarah Palin tell ...

One guesses the various politicos who tried to make political hay out of this event will simply pretend like the whole thing never happened (although they will, no doubt, score some political points with true believers). Regardless, the odds are that none of them really had much of clue about the nature of the district’s politics when they decided that they could use it to their own political ends.
