So, who's Doug Hoffman? (accuse, Brown, 9/11, party)

[delusianne]

Where did he come from?

"The 23rd has historically been one of the more Republican districts in the Northeast. Some portions of the district have not been represented by a Democrat since 1871; other portions have not been represented by a Democrat since 1851, when the Whig Party still existed." - wiki

"On Election Day, police were called to at least two polling sites in St. Lawrence County following "overzealous electioneering" by supporters of Doug Hoffman.[50] Later, Hoffman accused the Democratic Party of "bringing in ACORN" and trying to "steal this election away from the 23rd district" in reference to a campaign volunteer's tires having been slashed.[51] Anton Troianovski of The Wall Street Journal later quoted that Captain Michael Branch of the Plattsburgh City Police Department as saying "This was not a tir
e slashing—this was some guy who drove over a bottle and cut his tire."[52]"

Oh, yeah. Go Conservative Party!

Shouldn't gloat.

But it is funny that the conservative couldn't carry NY23. By comparison, the Dem won easily in CA-10, which was Republican in 1996, and has been held by the GOP more than by the Dems.

And there may have been intimidation, but the teabaggers were just trying to counteract the ACORN fraud. At least that's what I assume they'll say.

Yes, the Brown Peril.

Oh well, doesnt matter. Too bad, seeing one of these in action, even a dupe, would have brought this country to its senses, maybe.

Just want to say again,
