Rumblings In The Conservative Underdog World

Conservatives are poking around to see if their failed underdog in NY-23 was conned out of some votes:
Unless Conservative candidate Doug Hoffman got exactly zero votes in the town of Fenner (Owens got 157, Scozzafava got 248), and at one polling place in the town of Hamilton (Owens got 75, Scozzafava got 79), and at one polling place in the town of Sullivan (Owens got 173, Scozzafava got 251), the initial vote totals look rather hinky.
By comparison, the lowest number of votes that Owens got at any polling place was 57; the lowest number the withdrawn candidate Scozzafava got was 2. It's not impossible that no one in any of those places chose to vote for Hoffman, but it certainly seems unusual for a guy who got 45 percent district-wide. The margin was such that it would have to be a pretty big voter fraud for the results to come out any differently. But it's still very much worth gossiping about.
Then there's this special emergency meeting being requested by Marco Rubio supporters in Florida:
We have observed in recent weeks an unprecedented series of reports and events in the media which cast negative perceptions of the Republican Party, both to the public and to our members. While many factors may be involved in the various circumstances, our members and the public are receiving continuing negative reports about issues involving financing, candidates, political activities and more, concerning the Republican Party. This has been, and continues to be, extremely damaging to our Party, our candidates, and our members. I can imagine how that meeting would go: "How about you take notice of a candidate who is actually supported by Florida voters, instead of lining up behind Crist like bunch of little tweenage girls at a Hanna Montana concert?"

In 2010, the numbers of towns where not one person voted for a Republican will be amazing. Especally in states like Texas and Wyoming. It's that Obambi charm. |
|
what else is new? what else is earth-shatteringly surprising? Liberals ARE cheats; and the Demok-rats ARE the party of cheat.
The sooner conservatives/republicans accept that as a given, and act accordingly; the sooner they will come close to an even deal in politics. |

It was reported in several articles/blogs this morning that new canvassing has narrowed the gap between Hoffman and Owens by more than 2,000 votes. There is now a mite over 3K separating them. And, it appears that absentee ballots were not counted as of yet. (I doubt Hoffman will get many absentee ballots 'cause he was in the election only about 29 days.)
Still, one person reported that Hoffman's folks were ". . . looking into legal options."
Another said, if Hoffman does end up with more vots than Owens, it will set back political gurus back for years! |

In other words, we have no proof of fraud, and even if it were proved in these cases, it wouldn't have influenced the election one whit, but let's whip up the base by chanting "Vote fraud!" over and over again.

So what you are saying is that you do not really care that the votes were not counted properly. You see this kind of thing could actual happen and the will of the people would not have been done. The person that actually got the most vote could lose because no one bothered to count the votes correctly. Your okay with that kind of a sloppy election I assume. Bet if it was the dem who got the miscount you would sing a different tune. |

But Beck and Palin and Limbaugh (Oh MY!) have egg on their face, don't they? |
