A political pattern to stimulus tour

Since Congress passed President Barack Obama's $787 billion economic
stimulus bill in February, administration officials have traveled to at
least 66 events across the country to tout the massive spending program or
hand out stimulus cash to grateful local officials.

But a POLITICO examination of the travel reveals a distinctly political
trend line: Top officials have hosted events predominantly in states that
Obama won in 2008.

Today is referred to as an "off year off year"election. I went to
vote early and I was 'the' only one in there...besides our usual band
of faithful seniors manning the station. Folks are NOT motivated to
vote on these off years.

Secondly, NY23 is a solidly Repulican district. The mere fact that the
extremists righwinger is barely leading the Democrat is a serious problem
for the Republicans. It means their party is shrinking to the point
where it will become home only to the mentally unbalanced and emotionally
unstable.

A very Red state that has not has an elected Democrat for over 100
years

In some years the Dems didn't bother to put up a candidate
The best year the Dems ever had got them 37% of the vote.

If they do better than that today it will mean that Limbo and the
other "purifiers" of the Republican party have succeeded with their
job of wrecking opposition to the Democrats.

I can't wait to see the result!

Huh! Where are you voting? Bill Owens' win was welcome news. We
both grew up in NYstate, moved to NC 35 years ago; the old man grew up
in NY23 and knows every little town there. For many decades that area
was just as arrogant, dumb, rural, and Repub as any southern state
with a similar demographic. It's a delight to see that even they're
waking up to what one-party rule does to your district, state, and
nation. Who knows - we might want to go back to spend the summers if
they civilize themselves. ;^)

Sure. Even the worst rethuglican sympathizers aren't suicidal.
Even they can't ignore the fact that just over a border that's 5,525
miles long, there's a place where you didn't have to die of curable
illnesses, no matter how expensive they are. Of course a frightening
number of the faux-Canadians don't want to help their fellow Americans
to have that system - that's socialism.
Speaking of Canada, after decades of crossings, it is still weird
to go from frumpy, hard-bitten, hardscrabble way-far-Northern NY to
self-respecting, tidy, well-landscaped and quietly prosperous Ontario,
or the very elegant and graceful city of Quebec. Why, you'd think it
was a whole differnt world... even tho it's all of a piece with pretty
much the same soils and terrain on both sides of the border. But a
whole different concept of the worth of individuals and of personal
dignity. i.e., most Canadians have because their government considers
them worth taking care of; America's whitenecks (Yankee rednecks)
don't. For exactly the same reasons - Something about how not being
able to get medical care and scrambling for enough money to pay their
bills convinces them that their own society considers them worthless.

Looking down your nose, I see. You must be a specimen to behold, well, in

Things haven't changed? Obama is in, the heavens have opened up, and you are
still bitchin?

What's wrong with this picture. You got all the Dems you need to pass
whatever you want.
But, that
isn't good enough, what you all want is to pull in the other side to share
the blood that will be on the hands.
We aren't falling for it, it's yours, all yours. If these Dems get just
one dumb Republican they can say it is Bipartisan.
I hope the dumb Republican doesn't fall for it, this time. Let the Dems
carry this one.

So did our Senators "the girls" Collins and Snowe,(R) from Maine, they may
see the error of their ways, as Susan Collins want to present legislation to
rein in Obama's Czars. Nancy won't let her.

Scozzafava will jump to the Democrat party, where she belonged. I hear Newt
graveling tonight, he supported her without doing the research. He took
the Republican party Bosses words that she was a moderate. Newt was 'Had"
He'll never be held in high esteem in this life time.

He'll be back to give his point again and again and again and ..., as
well as hawk his latest literary project, on the cable news channels.
They love him.

Purple?

Purple when the best the Democrats ever did in this district was 37%?

Purple, when Democrats sometimes didn�t bother to compete?

This was Republican stronghold given up to the Democrats by Limbo,
Palin, and Beck attempting top purify the Republican Party.

More power to them!

Has yet to come.....

Looks like Pelosi was a bit excited and people saying the Republicans
lost may find that it was nearly a draw or it mat yet be a loss for
democrats.


Democrats and ACORN can't steal enough votes to get a landslide.

Highly unlikely that Hoffman could eke out a win. Given that absentee
ballots included Scozzafava and that they would have been filled out
before she dropped from the race, one can expect that she would have
gotten support similar to the 20% that she was drawing at the time.
If that's the case, Hoffman would need 4 out of 5 of every remaining
ballot just to catch Owens.

My question is how was it a republican lost when there was no republican in

The votes already counted that make the difference just 3000 votes is
showing that people are shifting away from the Progressive-socialists
that run the Democrat party of today.

Hoffman's already conceded. It's mathematically possible that he
could catch up, but it would take him catching an unrealistic
percentage of the remaining votes to do so.

For all intents and purposes, it's over.

Didn't know that was their goal....

Did they produce a manifesto stating that all tea parties were to
organize the communities?


I never saw that paper.


I got the impression they wanted government to follow the U.S. constitution.
