When I first started blogging as a Soldier in Iraq, David sent me a very kind email of encouragement. It had a profound effect on me, and was one of the key reasons I continued to blog.
He was killed in an auto accident today, and my heart is heavy. David was a champion for liberty, and was part of numerous projects that sought to make this country be all that it could be. Please pray for his family and his friends, especially those at http://www.theminorityreportblog.com/, where David tirelessly toiled for freedom.
Then, fight the good fight for liberty. God has called David home, but we are still here in the battle. Let us redouble our efforts as a memorial to David and all that he stood for. http://tinyurl.com/yfjxb2c

With news that the Hoffman concession was driven by erroneous result returns on election night, the chance of a very tight result is now likely. There were numerous voting machine problems in the district, and if the vote narrows to within 500 votes, it would be irresponsible not to call for an manual recount.
There is a slim chance at this time that Hoffman may end up the winner, although it is indeed slim.
Update: With 3 counties completely counted, Owens' lead is down to 2951. Again, the chance of Hoffman winning this is extremely small, but if the trend continues, it is going to end up being a very, very close election. Something both the NRCC and the DNCC need to consider.
Update 2: Current totals, Hoffman is down 2856 as of 4pm November 18th. Hoffman has 46.5% of the vote, Owens has 48.5% and Scozzafava has 5.0%.
Update 3: Will we ever know? http://www.gouverneurtimes.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=8144:virus-in-the-voting-machines-tainted-results-in-ny-23&catid=60:st-lawrence-news&Itemid=175
With the election machine accuracy seriously in question, the shenanigans surrounding the vote count reports called in on election night, and with no way to verify the integrity of the ballots for a manual recount, this is getting particularly interesting.
Update 4: Doug Hoffman has ended any challenge to the result. There will always be a cloud of doubt surrounding the results of the election, but that is not important for our future. Doug Hoffman fought a good fight, and he is an inspiration to the average American who wants to see the political ruling class replaced by citizens with principles and common sense. The fight continues! |

This installment is one of the more important ones, even though it deals mostly with minor players. This is the one that puts the lie to two very prevalent media myths about NY-23. See The Other McCain’s excellent write up about Frank Rich and the media’s misrepresentation of NY-23.
The first myth is that the revolt in the GOP in NY-23 was about purity. To hear the media tell it, the Rush Limbaughs, Fred Thompsons, Erick Ericksons and Sarah Palins of the party want to kick out anyone that is not a strict conservative idealogue. The second myth was that it was all about the social issues, that the only reason Dede was unacceptable was because she was pro-choice and pro-gay marriage. How then do they explain the support from the following people?

This day, think of our brothers and sisters who will toil tonight in harm's way. Think of those who went before, those who made sacrifices they live with to this day. Think of the families who have an empty place at the table.
As you think of them, celebrate the freedoms that you have. Freedoms that we must never take for granted. Freedoms that millions of Americans have willingly gone to some of the ugliest places on earth to protect.
And as you are thinking of those veterans and thinking of those freedoms, go to soldiersangels.com or anysoldier.com and do something for those who are serving right now, protecting and defending those freedoms.
Thank you to those who answered the call of freedom before me, and gave me a tradition to be proud of and to pass forward. Thank you to those who will follow in my footsteps.
God Bless the U.S.A. |

Sarah!! was catapulted to national prominence when she was picked as John McCain’s running mate. The right instantly fell in love and the left was immediately driven to irrational hate. The left (and some in the GOP leadership) hates Governor Palin for the same reason the right loves her: she is not a member of the elite ruling class. She is similar to Fred!! In many ways; a simple American perspective, an ability to clearly articulate her conservative views, and a natural connection with the average joe. On the other hand, she is more of a populist than an intellectual. She has a keen political mind, but sometimes fails to have the depth behind her arguments that someone like Senator Thompson does. That said, she still compares favorably with intellectual “heavyweights” of the other side such as President Obama and Vice President Biden.
