NY-23: All of a Sudden, Pessimism at Hoffman HQ
Tuesday, November 03, 2009 at 10:20 pm
SARANC LAKE, N.Y. – The mood is getting darker at NY-23 Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman’s election party. Results from Jefferson County–Republican territory that John McCain carried–show Owens in the lead. And the Syracuse suburbs–Madison, Oswego, and Oneida County–are not showing the blowouts that early polling suggested. The first results from Oswego show Hoffman at 2800, Owens at 2000, and Scozzafava at 324. The final Siena poll had Hoffman leading Democrat Bill Owens by a margin of 51 percent to 28 percent in this region.
I asked Hoffman’s spokesman Rob Ryan for a reaction, and he suggested that it was hard to know the trends without knowing which wards the votes were coming from. That’s true, but it’s significantly less optimism than Ryan was projecting earlier tonight.

Ironic? If Owens wins, it is because of the endorsement of his Republican opponent. I would rather know my enemy, then wondering how deep the”RINO-Republican” was going to drive a knife into my back. In the case of NY 23 either the “RINO-Republican” or the Democrat would have been a reliable vote for Zero-Bama. The district will be reapportioned in 2010 to keep in in the Democrats hands.
