Nov 4, 2009 - 2:19 am 2. Forrest:Because the conventional republican bullshit only works in the South, in my home turf. In the northeast, fiscally conservative/socially liberal, intelligent republicans exist. Ones who know church is bullshit and belongs outside of political discourse. Stick a schmuck like Hoffman in NY, of all places, and he’s gonna lose to anyone with a brain.
Good riddance. May his success be repeated in all house districts next November.
Nov 4, 2009 - 3:30 am 3. Papa Ray:Because NY is even better at “the Chicago Way” than Chicago. At least it is harder to see the voter fraud. Of course the breakdown of voter machines is an old excuse, but it will work yet one more time.
I won’t even go into the counting (or not counting) of absentee ballots.
Just a taste of what is coming next year.
