NY23-A win For the GOP-WHa???

From CNN Political Ticker (http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/11/04/steele-calls-conservative-claim­s-of-an-ny-23-win-off-base/)
Conservatives declaring victory in New York's 23rd congressional district are way off base - and outsiders like himself shouldn't have any say over the local party's decisions, Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele told reporters the morning after the GOP lost the district for the first time in over a century to Democrat Bill Owens.

Steele, celebrating the GOP's twin gubernatorial wins at RNC headquarters in Washington, was defending his own decision to back Dede Scozzafava - the embattled local Republican pick who drew conservative attacks - until she left the race in the campaign's final weekend.

Of course, plenty of other high-profile Republicans did weigh in on the race, including Fred Thompson, Sarah Palin, and Tim Pawlenty, all of whom backed Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman before Scozzafava's exit. The GOP infighting in NY-23 "serves as an important lesson on how we manage an opportunity to win a seat - and how not to..." said Steele, who vowed to "get that seat back" in 2010.

@LovinLiberal Yep, we're getting you all one by one lol.

Seriously, random person.........This was a show of what the majority of Americans really want.

Try thinking of it as a chance to get the Feds out of your life, do you really NEED a politician to hold your hand?

Of course you don't, that's what BHO wanted to do.

Peace, Ron

@LovinLiberal I'll take a redneck who earns his keep over a liberal who believes "freedom = free stuff" any day.

[LovinLiberal]

This is horrible! Obviously only the uneducated rednecks voted last night. Republicans are racist and self righteous, now we have a congress that will try to control us and treat us like disobedient children. Next time get out and vote it will be dark miserable days until then!

The reason Hoffman lost is because the NY GOP nominated a rino candidate in the first place. Then she dropped out and showed her true colors with her endorsement of Owens

yeah i used to like abc cnn and all those stations but they all had the same view about the oresident so i checked and saw what fox had to say about found very interesting, and do you notice how the narator say lunatic right media? so theyre a rightwing station huh that would explain alot they do seem to have very left views

[WesSideCali]

So then i am assuming you didn't watch Fox News until Obama became president. Because befor that they were the ones doing the butt kissing.

And Geraldo is not a Democrat, he's just not a racist xenophobe.

[thomas242007]

yeah it does, its geraldo rivera mainly and a few others on that b ut your right they all do i dont trust what any of them say but its the one i watch most becuase they arent busy kiisinf the presidents ass they give an opposing view which i like ive watched other news stations and they all seem to have nearly identicle news stories not sure if thats coincidence or not btu maybe the media czar is giving out approved news stories just my theory might be worng i find it funny though

[WesSideCali]

All cable news has a spin. But i noticed you didn't place Fox in your list of propaganda machines.

Fair and Balanced is a slogan, not a practice.

[thomas242007]

pretty much both propaganda machines along with msnbs,abc,cnbc,hln,cnn, and Hln, apparently on cnn they been airing a commercial for a guy named maitreya if you never heard of this i have a couple of videos about this gjuy hes the new scary cult leader guy out there ever heard of him??
