MSNBC Blames Sarah Palin For Hoffman’s Loss In NY-23

MSNBC:

The morning after, conservative idol Sarah Palin’s message for the tribe was essentially: The sky IS red, conservatives.

A defiant Palin wrote on her Facebook page last night, “The race for New York’s 23rd District is not over, just postponed until 2010.”

You betcha!

Those who thought a loss for the Conservative Party candidate, Doug Hoffman, was a setback for the conservative movement are probably right, but that’s no matter to Palin-ites. They’d argue they only lost because the stodgy Republican establishment didn’t embrace Hoffman SOONER.

That’s highly arguable, considering Hoffman’s lack of knowledge of local issues, his carpetbagger status (he doesn’t live in NY-23), and his just overall poor appearance as a candidate. He was always more of an idea. He wouldn’t even meet with the Syracuse Post-Standard’s editorial board, but who could blame him after his disastrous appearance before the local Watertown Daily Times.

It wrote on Oct. 23rd that Hoffman “showed no grasp of the bread-and-butter issues pertinent to district residents….” He spoke “generally” about national issues, with “no details.”

    Next year there will be a real primary, and the GOP candidate will win back the seat (which went for O last year, 52%)…especially if Owens votes party line for the Pelosi-Reid agenda.

    So if Palin is responsible for Hoffman’s loss, then must also be responsible for the victories of Cristie and McDonnell, right? After all, she ensorsed them also and even recorded robo calls for McDonnell.

      Wrong, wron, wrong. It is all Bush’s fault.

      Funny how Palin was able to accomplish more by simply endorsing people on her Facebook page than the “0″ was able to by personally campaigning for people. :cool:

      These MSM guys just want to deflect attention from the resounding defeat Obama & his policies suffered on Tues. night. :roll:

  • Phil Byler

    Party disunity creates electoral losses. Starting off with Scozzafava was a terrible mistake for the GOP. Hoffman almost pulled off a win in a very difficult situation.

  • Lock and Load

    This is pure BS spin from the State Run Media, to take attention off of the real gains. :roll:

    Palin, as usual, with her support got this guy off the ground and into the game. Some SRM idiots even tried to tie Rush into this “conservative defeat” for Hoffman. It just shows how ABSOLUTELY DESPERATE these people are to hide the forward momentum of conservatism, and to dim its leading lights… :roll: :???:
