so they're saying he's going to die in a fire? what an odd threat from NRO.

Oh, hey, someone posted a comment!

She hesitated even to affirm that she would remain in the party post-election. Her sympathies - pro-choice, pro-homosexual marriage, weak on taxes, sticking by the Teamsters and the SEIU on the "card check" program, which would deprive workers of a secret ballot in union-organizing votes - found her to the left of many Democrats and most Republicans. It was no surprise, then, that she enjoyed the support of such hard-Left elements as ACORN, the government-employee unions, and Daily Kos honcho Markos Moulitsas Zúñiga.

In other words, farkers, she's not a "moderate" just because some editor at the New York Times said so.

(Boehner) It's going to be a difficult road to walk with these relatively new entrants into the political system and work with throw pork at them to show them that, by and large, we are the party that represents their interests

Fixed.

"Carrie" is my favorite movie but "Sybil" was my favorite book. The Bellamy Bros. said it best: Abused chicks make beautiful lovers.

Michelle Malkin is the crazy mother.

Fitting for a pig though

/mmm roast pork... is it lunch yet?

I was not aware "some editor" selected her to run in this race?

it's just one more part of the republican purge of moderates. they'll win this seat, but they'll lose out nationally over time.

Cool story brah.

The tragedy of the teabaggers is that their anger threatens to benefit most those that got the country into the bailout mess in the first place. Years of lax regulation and reduced pubic spending left America with a huge bill to pay and a decrepit infrastructure. But they're blinded by easy accusations of socialism, and unwittingly seek to return to power the sort of mindset that has already proven not to work.

"I'ma gonna get you for that vernonFL!!

If she really wanted the Democrat to win, why didn't she just stay in the race? Just leaving your name on the ballot as the Republican nominee in and of itself would probably fetch you 20% of the votes, mostly from dyed-in-the-wool Republicans who aren't paying attention and just vote the ticket every year. Now those people will vote Conservative.

The Right Barter Town should be encouraged by the fact that Mr. Hoffman's campaign produced an easy partnership between the Tea Party populists Blaster and the Club for Growth Master.

Her name isn't leaving the ballot.

Yeah....

"Conservative rumblings could unsettle plans by Republican party leaders for Senate efforts in Kentucky, New Hampshire, Ohio, Connecticut, Illinois and Colorado. Other House elections are seeing tensions emerge as well. In Ohio, conservative David Ryon said last week he would switch from Republican to the Constitution Party to join a race between freshman Democratic Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy and Republican Steve Stivers. Ms. Kilroy squeaked by Mr. Stivers last year."

I will give it a SWAG that, of "her" 20%: 5% say fark it and stay home, 5% goes to the Conservative Party guy, 5% goes to the D, and 5% still check her name (IIRC, she will still appear on the ballot)

Tommy Moo: Now those people will vote Conservative.

Perhaps. Perhaps not. Secretly I hope the Conservative wins and the GOP takes this as a sign to go full retard God, Guns, and Gays in 2010.

Moral conservatives are idiots and have sharp irony. They pretend to promote limited government, but annoy others allowing government take over their private lives such as abortion or gay marriage. If Republicans try to purge me, I will fight back. I would rather have years of in fighting for the Republican Party to straighten the mess out then win the Presidency for the next twenty years.

We suspect all those liberal pundits gleefully predicting a self-defeating GOP "civil war" will be sorely disappointed next year.

Sorry, brah, it's coming, no matter who wins this election.

Politician A runs as a Republican even though she does not support any part of the Republican Party platform. Politician B runs as a third party candidate; supports all parts of the Republican Party platform. A couple of days before the election Politician A realizes that she is going to lose badly (I wonder why???); quits the race; endorses Politician C (Democrat). Moral of the story? (1) Politician A is a two-faced liar, (2) Whoever nominated her as the Republican candidate is either completely out of touch with reality or is actively trying to sabotage the Republican Party's agenda.

DarnoKonrad: Tommy Moo: Now those people will vote Conservative.

Which makes me wonder if that is the meta behind Newt's endorsing the R in this race. I think he was thinking they need a few token Rockefeller R's to keep their big tent charade going for a few more electoral seasons.

mike0023: (1) Politician A is a two-faced liar

Why specifically is she a two-faced liar?

mike0023: (2) Whoever nominated her as the Republican candidate is either completely out of touch with reality or is actively trying to sabotage the Republican Party's agenda.

"The six-term Assembly member picked up the endorsement Wednesday after a meeting of the 11 Republican county committee chairs, who had interviewed the candidates at a series of regional meetings over the past month."

Are all 11 of them traitors to the cause?

swahnhennessy: pubic spending

I spent my pubic on a girl in a gypsy costume this weekend.

The seat's a freeroll for the Dems at this point. If they lose, they send the far-right deeper into electoral madness and it was just a Blue Dog running anyway. If they win... this seat has been in Republican hands since the Civil War. That's something you're going to hear over and over if Owens swipes it.

Clarence Potter: Are all 11 of them traitors to the cause?

Well if they aren't Glen Beck fellating teabaggers, then yes.
