Thoughts:


Update: Erick Erickson at Red State explains the Hoffman loss:

"The race has now been called for Democrat Bill Owens.




This is a huge win for conservatives.

“Whaaaa. . . ?” you say. (...)

The GOP now must recognize it will either lose without conservatives
or will win with conservatives. In 2008, many conservatives sat home
instead of voting for John McCain. Now, in NY-23, conservatives
rallied and destroyed the Republican candidate the establishment
chose.

I have said all along that the goal of activists must be to defeat
Scozzafava. Doug Hoffman winning would just be gravy. A Hoffman win is
not in the cards, but we did exactly what we set out to do — crush the
establishment backed GOP candidate."
