On the 2009 elections

To hear Nancy Pelosi or David Alexrod tell it, it was the Democrats who won the 2009 elections because of a win in a special election for a congressional seat in upstate New York formerly held by a Republican. This is despite the fact that Republicans won governorships in New Jersey and Virgina from Democrats, states Obama carried just one year ago.

But if you were to ask me (or any other Republican observer) which race I would most rather lose, it would be the congressional seat in New York.

Even most of the legacy media has rejected this spin. I wonder if Pelosi and Axelrod believe it themselves.

  1. Pat,
    Umm...Doug Hoffman may have conceeded but the vote in NY-23 isn't official yet, it won't be until the 10k + absentee ballots are cast. So far the Dem is 3400 votes or so in the lead, but one county (the largest in the district) entered 0 (zero) votes for Mr. Hoffman. I don't know about you, but I find it a bit odd that a county that case somewhere in the neighborhood of 10,000 or so votes, not one went to Mr. Hoffman. I suspect that in the end, he may very well end up winning by several hundred votes.
    Wait and see.
