NY-23: I'm Calling It For Owens

by: phillip anderson

Tue Nov 03, 2009 at 23:01:21 PM EST

With about 70% in, Owens lead continues to grow. Unless Hoffman has many thousands of votes stashed in the St Lawrence county districts where they are having machine problems, I just don't see how he beats Owens. Does Hoffman have a secret Watertown Palinite contingent? I doubt it.

I think the next Congressman from NY-23 is Bill Owens.

NY-23: I'm Calling It For Owens | 12 comments

Looks like Owens pulls this one out. (4.00 / 6)

Tomorrow we begin the effort to replace all 62 NYS Senators.

Big job, but someone has to do it.

We've got some work ahead of us.

My Democratic slate swept Stephentown this evening. Including defeating convicted felon Neil Gardner in his attempt to regain his fiefdom as Highway Superintendent.

Ah -- on what line (0.00 / 0)

The convoluted and idiotic nominating process will block and impede any effort to replace them....let's say I decide to run against my local senator....the apparatchiks in say the Democratic Party will all go nuts and refuse to help with any petition passing etc.

We need to start a new party with the express purpose of kicking them out....otherwise any words or deeds that tries to kick them out are hollow and as substantial as chimney fire on a hot summer's day.

The only FEDERAL race of note tonight (4.00 / 3)

had the Democrat win a seat that had been held by the GOP for over 100 years. I wonder if ther media will use that narrative?

10k absentee ballots left... (4.00 / 1)

...so there won't be an official call tonight, so there will not be any narrative, most likely.

We've got some work ahead of us.
