Posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Wed Nov 4 12:26:17 2009, in response to WHY the GOP lost NY-23, posted by SelkirkTMO on Wed Nov 4 01:45:11 2009. Good lord, you are wrong on just about every level.Owens won due to an amazingly incompetent Republican party leadership, which allowed 11 yahoos in a pizza joint to anoint a "Republican" whose positions were to the left of Stalin and then sinking nearly $1 million into said Republican's cause. That he nearly won with little backing outside Rush, Beck, Palin and the conservative blogosphere is a testament to their power, not an indictment. The GOP leaders now need to take heed and start advancing a more conservative agenda which last night was PROVEN to be a winning formula in large scale contests. Conservatives are quite happy right now. First off, they have been heard, and have proven to the GOP leaders that they cannot be ignored. Future NY-23 GOP candidates (it won't be Hoffman) will not be so damned liberal. Secondly, Owens is no radical leftist. He has campaigned against many aspects of Obamacare and is a prime candidate to stand with moderate Blue Dogs in Congress. That's actually better for the GOP than Scozzafava's public endorsements of Obamacare and Cap & Trade. |
