If Palin can’t make it in the North Country, hard to see how she can make it nationally

Hmmm…

Doug Hoffman was dead last in the polls and cash strapped. In less than a day after Sarah endorsed the guy money was pouring in and the very next poll he was Teh Won.

Are you gonna believe a poll, or your lying eyes?

PPP is a democrat friendly firm, if you know what I mean. You can bet they’ll try and downplay Sarah any way they can.

Oh, for everyone who is worried that Hoffman hasn’t give the ‘Cuda her due, he was on Beck the other day and said he was both surprised and honored that Sarah Palin endorsed him.

Look let’s be serious though, Sarah Palin is the one that made Hoffman’s victory a reality, BUT it was Teh Fred, and Jeri Thompson who REALLY did the heavy lifting. They are on the ground up there, and sort of shepherding Hoffman through all of this.

Those two absolutely deserve big billing.

Look for a great video when it’s official that Doug has won this deal….

The die is cast. This vote is going to be epic and I look forward to some victory beer tonight…
DO YOU HEAR US NOW???

Yep, I went to the store this am, and got me some Sam Adams–thought it would be appropriate for tonight’s victory celebration!

“We’ve gotten reports that people are standing there, covered with Hoffman stickers and yelling anti-choice stuff at voters,” said O’Neill, a St. Lawrence native who has been running the party’s GOTV effort for Bill Owens in NY-23.

“Apparently, there’s some woman claiming to be a commissioner,” O’Neill continued. “Commissioner of what, I don’t know. She’s from Texas, I think, and she won’t leave.”

“This is not the way we roll in the North Country.”

Newt Gingrich is currently otherwise disposed as he is having cosmetic surgery and legally changing his name.

Changing his name and look to what??? Sarah Palin!

This is all terrible news for Ogabe.

Expect Holder to re-address prosecuting CIA personnel again soon.

Must. Change. Subject.

I love this site, which is why I will not mince words on this point. This Ogabe crap will leave a stain.

Hear me now. Believe me later. ::handclap::

Dude. Get over it. Palin ain’t winning in 2012. I doubt she even runs.

That’s the constant prayer of the DNC (whatever it is they pray to).

Pretty damn good news: In NY-23 despite the presence more or less of two Republican candidates on the ballot, Doug Hoffman is winning 71% of the GOP vote to Bill Owens’ 67% of the Democratic vote. Hoffman leads Owens 52-30……

LurkerDood on November 3, 2009 at 4:29 PM

I forgot to mention. A photographer catched the tail of Doug’s car with Palin sticker on it (MCain’s name removed).

If that’s not proof enough.

Less Government, More Freedom!

I also don’t think they’d drive anyone away by promising to cut government jobs….just like we’ve had to do in the private sector.

Americans everywhere are tightening their belts, pinching pennies. It’s time government gets in on that act. (Oh, and unlike Obama, don’t spend the savings on new programs!)

Now THAT is a winning formula.

Its a movement of the Independents – the people who are fed up with both parties. The economy is bad, Washington is ignoring it to feed us expensive healthcare and environmental policies, and the silent majority of Independent voters is responding.

Republicans can try to ride the movement’s coattails, but we will just as soon dump them as we do the Democrats if they don’t follow the doctrine being laid out – less taxes, less spending, less corruption. That is what this movement is about, and its something both parties should be afraid of IMO.

Palin’s the biggest name so why is she in the middle of the list? If she endorsed me, she would be 1st on the list plus a picture endorsement like he has for Thompson.

LurkerDood on November 3, 2009 at 4:29 PM

Because Thompson was the first big name to back him. Did it ever dawn on you that the list might be ordered in terms on chronology? That’s pretty much how it appears. And look at the press releases on his page. Just glancing, Palin’s name appears at least twice. Yep, he’s really bothered by her endorsement.

This points the way to success in 2010 for the GOP. Republicans can win big not by becoming Democratic Lite or by conducting ideological purges across a wide spectrum of issues. Instead, the GOP needs to focus on core principles to build a governing coalition with a broad reach — on limited federal government and fiscal responsibility.

From your lips (well, keyboard) to the RNC’s ears.

Wait, why is the song “When You Wish Upon a Star” echoing in my head?

I don’t think Hoffman totally embraces Palin.

A few days ago I went to his site, at the bottom he has a picture of Thompson endorsing him, no mention of Palin.

Then at the right he lists all his endorsements and guess where Palin’s name shows up? In the middle of the list!!!!!

LurkerDood on November 3, 2009 at 4:15 PM

Thompson is Palin. Palin is Thompson’s political child. Don’t you get it?

Brilliant analysis. Guess who’s below Palin. Michelle Bachmann, Pawlenty, Jim DeMint, the American Conservative Party, and just about every member of the House who has endorsed him. I guess he doesn’t really care for any of them either.

Why is PPP polling Sarah’s favorables today of all days? Is she running for something?

NoLeftTurn on November 3, 2009 at 4:22 PM

My point exactly. PPP is a wing of the MSM and establishment, they have to find every little excuse to put a negative on Palin. Who cares how she is polling in 2009.

Dude. Get over it. Palin ain’t winning in 2012. I doubt she even runs.

lorien1973 on November 3, 2009 at 4:19 PM

Never say never (or ain’t).
