p>Good morning, everyone!
Well, Ms. A said that I was going to have some fun with this, so who am I to disappoint her?
Let’s suit up and open the containment chamber for this Pyrrhic Victory edition of “Obsession”.
Doug Hoffman has a Free Republic account!
Well, no – not really. A helpful Freeper has posted his concession email:

America has changed, and you have helped. Although we did not
succeed in winning this election, we have succeeded in making sure
political parties and special interests no longer take the people for
granted. I believe we have sent a powerful message and laid the
groundwork for future conservative campaigns.
I congratulate
Bill Owens on a hard won victory. In our tradition of free elections,
our country continues. And although Bill Owens has won, I believe
America is turning the page to a new dawn.
Start spreading the news…Doug Hoffman can win
Conservatives, this is the place where we begin
You RINOs begone…we’ve had quite enough
We want some real conservatives with the right stuff
So give Doug support as Sarah has done
The move to take the country back has just begun
Yes, we can win it there…we can win anywhere
Doug Hoffman for upstate New York
The ideas of
freedom, sound fiscal management and citizen government have sprung
back into our consciousness. Our founding fathers would be proud of New
York 23. It was here that our principles, those that have been the
foundation of our nation, came back to life with a vengeance. And it
was here that the people rose up against the political bosses who tried
to impose their will. It was here that people reached out to control
their own destinies again.Despite the election results, I am
optimistic for our future, because now I know that I am not alone in
wanting to repair our great nation. Throughout this campaign I have
been inspired by the outpouring of support and the intensity of that
support.
I’ve met many different people in this campaign, from
many walks of life and many professions; each with a different personal
story to share. Yet we are all united in the belief that by
participating in democracy, we could inspire change.I urge
that no one feel defeated, for this was only one of many elections. We
came close, we put our agenda in front of the nation and the nation
took notice. The worse thing we could do now, is not continue forward.
Next year there are other elections and other candidates who have drawn
inspiration from our efforts.
I would like to thank all of you
who placed your faith in me, who worked tirelessly and shared your
enthusiasm with those around you. You are all patriots, you have all
stood up for your country and I am honored to stand among you.Thank you,
Doug Hoffman

(Until Americans love their own children more than they love Nancy Pelosi this suicide will continue.)
Huh?
I mean, huh?
.
Spork, you mean when Nancy Pelosi winked at you and said “You Betcha” you didn’t melt in your chair???? Oops – I was thinking of Palin.
And Mayor of Wasila, population 5,000, is experience for runing the country? I live in a town population 15,000 and I don’t see the Mayor making those “big decisions.”
But most of all, if I understand right, the NY 23rd was a win-win-win?????
And to ask one question off-topic, how come the freepers weren’t out to change Scozzafava’s name. I mean its a lot longer and harder to remember than Sotamayor. And with a name like that, are we sure she was born in the USA????????????
when do we start a blue dog party so we have a SANE opposition?
LOL I was thinking there was entirely too much sanity and rationality in the Hoffman Loses thread. Dammit Tommy, I came for the shadenfreudeliciousness of their tears. Yea, I’m a heartless bitch. Quit weeding out the crazification dude 😛
I imagine the health care passes threads were hilarious.
Some stuff that the bleach rendered reasonably safe…
And none (as in zero, 0, zip, nada) in any of the states north and east of NY. (Deep Thought ™: since York and Jersey are part of England, why aren’t New York and New Jersey part of New England?)
And there would go their last two seats in NY, along with at least a dozen other districts represented by vaguely sane Republicans.
The GOP has a soul? Maybe once upon a time, but whatever is left of it is as black as coal. Still, it will be fun to watch the ugly fight over it.
And the ugly seems to be starting already. From ThinkProgress (http://thinkprogress.org/2009/11/09/boehner-cao-health/):
Is it possible that Don Young actually has a soul? Or is he just smarter than your average teabagger?
