Now all we need is for Maes? in CO to drop out.

2 Not to be a turd, but would have been nice before the ballots came out with his name on them.

3 Funny how a conservative will drop out, yet a RINO will be a sore loser and do whatever they can to kneecap the primary winner. Go figure.

4 2 Not to be a turd, but would have been nice before the ballots came out with his name on them.

Yeah, I mean he can still be voted for, and as I understand (and I hope I'm wrong) it votes for him won't go to the Republican. So its a bit too little too late.

5 #2, exactly.

So classy to drop out at the 11th hour when its obvious he hasn't a prayer of winning.

I have it on good authority that Big Tea Party is interfering in state politics.

7 Hoffman will retain viability for future races by doing this. He fought the good fight and then stepped aside in time for support to move to the lesser of evils. All is not lost for Hoffman, the politician, to have "lost" two very close races. As you say, Ace, good for Hoffie.

Help me out here, morons.

I keep seeing ads for Jerry Brown here, saying he will lead us to the socialist Promised Land just as he did before, and claiming that Meg Whitman opposes "clean energy jobs." (Nothing about her stance on unicorns, Bigfoot, or any other mythical creature; just "clean energy jobs.")

Does clicking on the ad run up costs for the Reds? If so, I'm going to click like crazy.

9 Can someone send him to Alaska to talk to Princess Murky?

10 This is what a non-sore loser is supposed to do.

11 #8

He'd have been even MORE viable, if , like a man, he admitted defeat right when he lost the primary and endorsed his same-party opponent, instead of sticking around to the 11th hour.

12 but lazio is still on the conservative line in NY, right?   I was told they need votes to remain viable so he can't be removed.  If that's true then you can skim that number of votes off the top for palladino.

who isn't running commercials...

Yep, unlike that stoopid football genius, Didiot.

14 I have it on good authority that Big Tea Party is interfering in state politics.

Any minute now, we will find out about the lies being told by out of state Tea Party funding groups, and how they swayed the election. I don't think they are all from the same group, but you never know. The Tea Party travels in packs.

15 This is like that time after returning from Nam when I had a shot at being elected President but stepped aside to clear the way for JFK.

16 Could we have a post about the Colorado race?  All I've seen is Malkin's very biased Tancredo posts.  I have no idea why it is ok for him to be splitting the vote when there was a Republican nominee.  I know there's some ethical questions on the R (as there is with the D), but my recollection is that Tancredo has issues as well.

It'd be nice to have a summary from a less purity! oriented blog.

Tea Party to libs: Scared yet? (psssst, the tea party is composed of americans, actual, real, voting, americans otherwise known as bitter clingers. Get used to it.)

19 Why are there ads here saying Bachman can lose.  They are making me nervous.

20 Any minute now, we will find out about the lies being told by out of state Tea Party funding groups, and how they swayed the election.

The good thing is, there isn't a TEA Party building that they can go to and learn how to bring in little foriegn girls, prostitute them and get a tax write off, all from the comfort of home.

Don't start that shit again...please...I'm begging you!

22 looking closely,

There's a full month before the election. Considering most voters are only now getting serious about their votes, it's an eternity. Plus, there's no ambiguity in Hoffman's statement of shifting support to his Rightish-leaning opponent. Hoffman is doing the right thing under personally difficult circumstances. I'm not going to stomp on his political grave because a) I don't think this kills him and b) he's acting appropriately even if he believes that his competition is inadequately conservative, especially for a wave election.

23 6: Castle bowed out because his involvement would have helped O'Donnell.

25 This write-in, third party crap from the losers is really starting to piss me off.

26 Thank you, Doug Hoffman, for a clear demonstration of character and honor.

OT - The Washington DC Board of Elections recently unveiled their internet-based polling system and then issued a challenge to outside groups to test its vulnerability.  Some hot-shots at the University of Michigan (the home of the finest college football team in the nation) picked up the glove and the result was ... well, what I expect Michigan to do to Ohio State in November ...

FWIW, this just goes to show that the Tea Party is working. I know, it's irritating the hell out of me too but this just seems to be part of the purge.

33

My understanding is that in order for the Conservative party to be able to stay on the ballot for FUTURE races in New York, this sort of had to happen.  I think Hoffman may have a shot in future races, or in the Tea Party/Republican party going forward. 

I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on this one - he's never struck me as a sore loser.  Let's not forget that he - unlike many others - was willing to put himself out there when this whole movement was starting.  If not for him, we might not be where we are today.

34 Ah, I see. You're playing dumb. Nice try, but I'm onto you.

38

Hey, screw you, dildo. 

I see what you did there . . .

39 #23

In case you haven't noticed, there are plenty of voters who have been serious about their votes for quite some time.

I never said this was the end of Hoffman, nor am I interesting in destroying his political career. 

I agree at THIS time he's doing the right thing.   But at least as recently as LAST WEEK, the guy was still on the ticket splitting the vote. 

How difficult would it have been for this guy to make the same speech a year ago?

40 Yeah, I'm the shiznit, but don't think I won't run for some office next year.

41 Well, here's one of the many October surprises.  This one is just plain unfair.

42 Y-not. Actually Tancredo was not even in the primary for governor here in CO. Both McInnis and Maes had issues come up shortly before the primary that made their election viability kind of low. Tancredo is publicity hound mostly but the state GOP really messed up. Initially Tancredo said he would withdraw his Constitution party bid if both Maes and McInnis withdrew before the GOP primary so the GOP could pick a better candidate. We'll never know if Tancredo would have honored that since neither of them withdrew but that is the actual backstory. It really is too bad that they could not bother to spend a few hundred dollars apiece to at least run a background check to vet the unknowns (Maes was one) that threw their hats into the race for GOP governor candidate this year. But apparently the state GOP old-timers had no idea that the tea party movement might sweep newcomers into the slots. But thats just governor's race. There is no spoiler in any of the United States congressional races and if CO elects a GOP state congress the governor does not have that much power so it wont matter that much that Hickenlooper gets in.

43

I guess this nation wasn't ready for a Kip Dynamite lookalike.  Feel bad for him--he got shafted by Scuzz-o-mama in the first friendly-fire casualty of this election cycle. 

44 I was hoping the Republican nominee would drop out.

45 46: no. Scuzzybutt did all she could to undermine him. And it worked.

46 @30: Okay, think of it like this:

"Castle bowed out because his involvement would have helped O'Donnell.  Hoffman bowed out because is involvement would have helped the Democrat."

I, too, think Hoffman never should have stayed on the Conservative ticket: he was beat fair and square in the Republican primary.  He got his fair shot (unlike in the special election, which was the main reason he was so supported), and the voters in NY-23 chose someone else.  He should have known that he would be splitting "the Republican Vote" and so should have endorsed his opponent immediately.

However, he didn't.  Now he _has_ dropped out of the race, and given a ringing endorsement of the Republican (or, at least, a resounding call for unity).  So, he gets his kudos.  As I recall, Castle, too, at least received "credit where it's due" mentions for his dropping out of the race.

47 This is what class looks like.

Well, you raise a good point, though I think its been pretty obvious for a long time that his presence on the ballot would act as a "spoiler".

This raises the question of why NOW. . .when just last week he confirmed he was still running.  Something/someone must have just gotten to him.

50 I don't think it's the CO thing, I think it's the potential for a 3 day long slug fest here about the purity thing.

Fine, but picking my post for Captain Dildo Super Blog Cop comment when several above touched on:
the R needing to drop out for the 3rd party candidate;
the behavior of RINOs; and,
the manliness of dropping out late,
is ridiculous.

Oh, thanks a lot!

58 Have you seen this, it has come to blows...literally.

59 Castle will endorse O'Donnell about the same time that Don Lowery, who ran radio ads claiming Mark Kirk supported child molestation, endorses Kirk. It goes both ways. Posted by: Mallamutt at October 05, 2010 02:08 PM (OWjjx) BINGO And Didier's trechary is the worst. Even DeVore PUBLICLY ENDORSED Fiorina to help consolidate the R vote. Fiorina, mind you, took most of DeVore's longstanding issues and has stuck with them as her own, so she avoided the squishy Meg Whitman race-to-the-middle path.

60 Better late than never, but it would have been nice if he had done this right after the primary.

61 Rush is talking about folks who "game the system".....they are wealthy yet they take unemployment, they don't need social security but they take it anyway.  They have a cash business like tutoring and only accept cash so they can hide that income.

62 Funny how a conservative will drop out, yet a RINO will be a sore loser and do whatever they can to kneecap the primary winner. Go figure. Funny how a conservative will wait until after the ballots have his name on them before dropping out, and you give him a pass, even though Scozzafava did exactly the same thing.

63 With regard to the Co race I don't think it has a lot to do with "purity" issues. Ace did a post on this race and the kerfunkle going on there last month.

http://tinyurl.com/2wua3nd

I don't know a whole lot about the particulars in that race, I'll leave that up to the CO Morons. But I do respect Haley Barbour's opinion on a lot of shit. And he told Maes to drop out of the race way back then.

64 even though Scozzafava did exactly the same thing.

Nope.  Scozzafava endorsed the Democrat, which is a million times worse.

65 That video of the guy hitting the woman is horrifying.

66 Anyone hear rush play "my boy lollypop" with slurping sound effects after he played Bwarney accusing him of promoting homophobia? Riot.

67 Didier is a crank, but I coulda swore I read on a smart military blog somewhere about the RINOs demanding loyalty, all while stabbing the conservatives in the back. Oh well.

68 66: no, Scuzzabutt endorsed Owens, which probably helped push him over the finish line. But I guess that's okay in RINOland, right?

69 68: sorry. I didn't see your post there. My bad.

70 looking closely: "In case you haven't noticed, there are plenty of voters who have been serious about their votes for quite some time..."

And that group, while larger than typical but probably barely a majority, will take all of ten seconds to cement their choice now that Hoffman has dropped out. Hoffman supporters aren't going to D or WFP and neither will D/WFP votes swing to Doheny. So that leaves the usually disinterested a month to make their choice - again, an eternity in political time. Hoffman didn't need to concede anything a year ago. And now he does and now he did.

Also, note Teresa in Fort Worth, TX@36. Hoffman is not subverting the process by what you say is inordinate delay. Hoffman has been a stand-up guy. He's now justifiably standing down.

71

#52 - I'm not exactly sure about the technicalities of the New York party/voting system; however, I do seem to remember reading something about how a 3rd party (in this case, the Conservative party) has to meet certain requirements in order to be able to field a candidate in the NEXT election.

I don't know if that has anything to do with how long Mr. Hoffman stayed in the race or not.  I do know that there were a couple of writers on other blogs (can't remember off the top of my head who they are) who mentioned that Mr. Hoffman's case is kind of a special one.  Those same writers had expected him to drop out before the general election, though.

And he's not a sore-loser incumbent.  You still don't like to see a 3-way vote, because of how the numbers fall out, but it's a slightly different situation.  If he's not running any ads, people who haven't tuned into the political process until now (i.e. the vast MAJORITY of voters) probably aren't going to vote for him anyhow.

In any case, it isn't worth worrying about at this point - if the (D) wins, then we can rake Hoffman over the coals.  Otherwise, there are other races which need our attention.

72 Is anyone else getting lots of annoying pro-Democrat ads and Liberal cause ads showing up on Ace of Spades?

78 Wouldn't this timing issue be a good thing? More and more people starting to pay attention to the race and Hoffman cast the spotlight over onto Matt Doheney? Focusing the attention on Doheney?

I hope it didn't come across as me stating that he was delaying things.  I agree - he's a stand-up guy.  His is a special case.  I respect the guy for having the guts to get back in the fray after the first debacle.  We need more of him on our side!

83 Nice, decent move, Hoffman.  Now you look good for the next election.

 Anyone hear rush play "my boy lollypop" with slurping sound effects after he played Bwarney accusing him of promoting homophobia? Riot.

 

Dagny, I did hear that.  The thing that struck me is that Barney's internal polling must be showing he's precarious--he had to trot out the "homophobic" card and "Rush Limbaugh" boogeyman.  I'd love it if Sean Bielat could pull it off.  I sent him some money the other day. 

85 Re: Lazio, I think as part of the deal to get him out, he had to be nominated for a judgeship, as that was the only way to get him off the line or something.

86 85: true. It's not as though Rossi is some sort of Allah-approved squish.

87 First?

88 Teresa in Fort Worth, TX@87,

Not at all. I just thought your comment was notable - that there was a future balloting issue possibly in play and that Hoffman was an early sacrificial lamb that served as both a guidepost for the Tea Party evolution and a warning to the Tea Party process (that the GOP is not really a friend).

89 I stand corrected. You have a point, sir.

103 Here's a reason to like the NFL again:

The National Football League has asked the Russ Feingold campaign to take down a newly released ad that uses footage from NFL games.

The Feingold campaign reacted quickly.  “We are making an edit to the ad to accommodate the NFLÂ’s concerns," campaign spokesman John Kraus told the Journal Sentinel.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league did not license the footage used in the ad. He said the league had contacted the Feingold campaign about removing it.

The ad features various scenes of football players celebrating in the end zone. One clip shows the infamous 2005  "mooning" incident featuring Randy Moss, then with the Minnesota Vikings, in a game at Lambeau Field.

Here's what Feingold says in the ad: "In pro football, they call this excessive celebration. And they punish it with fines and 15-yard penalties. It's exactly the kind of behavior that corporate special interests and Ron Johnson are engaging in.

"They're dancing in the end zone because they think they're going to take down the U.S. senator who has been named the No. 1 enemy of Washington lobbyists. Fortunately, the game isn't over yet."

Feingold ends the ad by saying Wisconsin deserves an independent voice.

The reference to Feingold's No. 1 ranking is a survey taken by Washingtonian magazine.

104 OT -

A grandma, wearing chest waders, leans against a pier piling.  A fishing boat is in the background.  LINK

105 wow, rasmussen is very unsettling today.

106
In other words Feingold is using the image of a black man to scare people. He's associating a big scary black man who pulls his pants down with Rob Johnson.

Russ Feingold, racist and bigot.

I think you should do a lot of reading and research and draw your own conclusions.  No one, not even a broker or financial planner would be willing to make that kind of decision for you.

you are on your own.

 

Shit!  Decisions.  Decisions.

Heh.

125 Translation:  Roger Godell is a man. I, on the other hand, is a crap weasel.
.

Roger is a liberal asshat.  What he did to Rush's bid to partner in the Rams organization was an embarrassment to sport.  I think he's only doing this because of the 'expressed written consent of the NFL' clause.  If Feingold would've contacted the NFL first, I'm sure they would've let him use the content without a problem.

126

oh, and has Castle endorsed O'Donnell yet?

Castle will endorse O'Donnell about the same time that Don Lowery, who ran radio ads claiming Mark Kirk supported child molestation, endorses Kirk.

It goes both ways.

 

Another sore loser:  Bill McCollum refuses to endorse Rick Scott.  We in FL need a GOP governor for redistricting purposes, as we are getting 2 additional Congresscritter seats. 

McCollum is an asshole.  So glad I didn't vote for him.

129 This thread is suddenly deader than Nancy Pelosi's ass cheeks.

I didn't think she had any ass left.  I figured they'd taken all the tissue and implanted it in her face to keep it looking like a face instead of the CryptKeeper.

130 The Feingold campaign reacted quickly.  “We are making an edit to the ad to accommodate the NFLÂ’s concerns," campaign spokesman John Kraus told the Journal Sentinel.

That's funny given the NFL is pretty much openly a pro-Democrat organization.

Just the insiders churning, stirring a little more shit and making more money for themselves before reality sets in and the Dow sinks to a sub-5000 level.

The Bloombergs, Kudlows, Cramers and their ilk have been pushing phony -- or irrelevant -- data for a long time to keep their buddies happy and suckers throwing in money.

A fortress built of paper isn't real swell when it rains, and a hard financial rain is inevitable.

We ain't seen nothin' yet.

agree Mr. Scibbler. ......Gold, Bitchez!!!  

 

142 Clear maniuplation taking place in the market in a failed attempt to save the dollar.  You cannot have the dollar and DJIA rise simultaneously to the extent they are in real time.

I have to say that Art Bell was a marketing genius.  He made a lot of money exposing the loser kook fringe.  I work nights so sometimes I listen to Coast to Coast for shits and giggles.  Although, I have to admit, I can only listen in small increments sometimes.  There are some whacked out people out there.  One of the things I've noticed more and more is that most of these people probably voted for Dear Leader (if they voted at all).  Scary. 

155

156 I can haz new thread plz?  kthxbai

157 I'm for any and all tata's, but that's just me.

wife of Rick Sanchez says Rick apologizes to Jon Stewart...via facebook, or myface, or whatever you call it.

159

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell failed to offer support of Rush Limbaugh’s bid to buy the Rams on Tuesday and said the talk-show host’s ‘divisive comments’ would not be welcome in the league.

‘I’ve said many times before, we’re all held to a high standard here,’ Goodell told reporters, via the New York Times.

‘I would not want to see those comments coming from people who are in a responsible position in the NFL –- absolutely not.’

No effect?  Really?  The commissioner of the league comes out and says your money isn't welcome here and I think that has some effect on whether you own a team in said league.

  Over the road truck driver for 30 years. Well, coast to coast for 20 or so. I used to listen to Art Bell when he was only broadcasting from Vegas on KDawn or KDWN or whatever it was and he was mostly sponsored by a csino. It was more or less a pretty Conservative political show. Then he gradually changed and went off into space.

Go to yahoo finance and look up your individual stocks.  You can read about who is buying and who is selling. 

Or you can go directly to the exchange and see what is happening with your stock.

There's a wealth of data there for you and it helps those "decisions, decisions"

maybe...

171 Not when the subsequent owner had a right of first refusal.


I agree.  But my statement about what Goodell did being douchebaggery of the hightest order is 100% correct.  What he did was wrong.  He didn't have to say anything because it wasn't going to happen.  But he did.  That makes him a ranking member of the asshat society.

187 In San Diego , a warrant has been issued for the arrest of a policeman and his wife for felony vandalism after they vandalized their soon to be foreclosed million dollar home.  They stole the AC unit, poured concrete down the drains, crushed the stone walls, etc.  Damage was in excess of 200k.

Cops get paid that well in San Diego?

Or are they just victims of 'the policies of the last 8 years' telling Phanny and Phreddy to give them WAY too much mortgage?
