BlogTalk: Dede and the N.Y. 23rd
The Caucus —
... this signals an end to Acorn, Big Labor, etc. While you may think one district race this November is small bore, for the Republicans and conservatives this one has become a litmus test of all things important to the narrowing conservative base that is trying to reassert itself among Republicans despite epic losses in 2006 and 2008. It is loud online and off. As Erick Erickson, editor of the RedState blog, wrote today, the fallout among Republicans — inside the Beltway and outside – holds great portent for the 2010 midterm elections, and requires a purging of G.O.P. ...
24 hour party purge people
Balloon Juice —
If Pete Sessions escapes with anything less than being publicly stoned with fake dog poop, he should consider himself lucky:
Make no mistake about it, Pete Sessions and the NRCC must shoulder most of the blame and responsibility, with Michael Steele and the RNC coming right behind them. They did not listen. They would not listen. They posited themselves as the smartest people in the room. And we’ve cleaned their clocks. Now? We should be magnanimous in victory — and whether Hoffman wins or loses, as ...
NY-23 Scozzafava Out, RNC And Newt Gingrich Back Hoffman

... win.” Is the NRCC far behind? Time will tell.
So did Newt Gingrich. Matt Lewis puts him in the loser category, but doesn’t think he’ll suffer long-term. I’m not so sure about that.
Now, Hoffman and the Democrat are in a dead heat. Hoffman should win. The area is a very conservative. I know, difficult to imagine in New York, but it’s true.
Sarah Palin looks amazingly…..smart and prescient.
Erick Erickson is calling for a purge in the NRCC and RNC. He wants the establishment types to ...
Halloween post-mortems on NY-23
GOP 12 —
... tweets: BTW, Club for Growth already having a HUGE year before any votes cast. First, they scare Specter out of party, now NY 23. Red State takes a well-deserved bow, while Erick Erickson is admirably careful to warn about turning NY-23 into a template. I suggest you read carefully as I am not an advocate of purging people like Susan Collins or the typical “RINO” as there are some races where a conservative really cannot win. I am, however, serious that the GOP must purge its staff and leaders who have decided to always go with the liberal. In particular, the NRCC, NRSC, and ...
Dede Scozzafava Drops Out
PoliGazette —
... Scozzafava suspending her campaign, we urge voters to support Doug Hoffman’s candidacy in New York’s 23rd Congressional District.
Of course the GOP should have endorsed Hoffman earlier in the race. Scozzafava was seen as a RINO from the get-go. And that at a moment when the conservative base is demanding real conservatives, who will oppose Obama’s plans passionately and aggressively.
But better late than never, you would think, right? Well no, not necessarily:
Now? We should be magnanimous in victory ...

MyDD —
... points out Ms. Scozzafava is "a mainstream conservative by New York standards" with a voting record that is "slightly to the right of her fellow Republicans in the Assembly." Ms. Scozzafava's crime, it seems, is that she supports the right to choose and same-sex marriage. To me, that only makes her human. Then there's Erick Erickson of Red State who is a calling for a purge of the GOP establishment. Right because Michael Steele, John Boehner and Mitch McConnell aren't out of touch enough. Yup, that's the problem. ...
The heresy hunters begin the purge
Civil Commotion —
... York’s 23 rd congressional district, the GOP’s new heresy hunters decided Dede Scozzafava wasn’t pure enough to be a bona fide Republican and agitated against their party’s candidate; on Friday, she withdrew from the race and encouraged her supporters to vote for the Democratic candidate. Now, intoxicated by their successful destruction of Scozzafava’s campaign, the heresiologists who are now the Republican base have declared the time ripe for a purge of the national leadership. The GOP Establishment Must Be Purged as the GOP Loses in NY-23 The race for NY-23 has taken a ...

And Erick and Sarah Palin and Fred Thompson and Rush Limbaugh and Tim Pawlenty and George Pataki and the New York Post all endorsed Doug Hoffman and now the Republican Party (that Erick wants purged of nonbelievers) should listen to him because the teabaggers favorite son just lost a seat that Republicans have held for 140 years. ...
