Comments on: Carlisle: Owens Wins, Blame It On The “B” Word http://yesbuthowever.com/owens-win-republican-miscalculation-8136213/ Leaning right, leaning left, YBH!

Firstly what is to become of DeDe? Will she switch parties, as the Republicans have basically said we do not want you? Was this just a test to see if the extreme right wing of the Republican Party (Conservatives) could win in a district that has been theirs since the Civil War? Was this seat sacrificed for the good of the party to set themselves up for next years election? Or was this just blatant arrogance on their part, thinking that their way was the only way? Who chooses the candidates for any party to run in any particular area in any election? After watching Michael Steele's interview one must wonder.

Then knowing Rep. Owens just a tad having run into him on and off for a few years I can tell you we have done very very well getting Rep. Owens for the job. Up yours shouters from out of the district. we know who will take care of US.. not you.

A lot of us here in the South predicted well ahead of time that the upstate "Noo Yock" Repub voters simply hadn't had time to notice that Ms. Scozzafava had dropped out of the race. After hitting the "vote" button with her name on it---the only Repub in the race last week, when they last checked---they would walk out proud that they'd voted against BarackO in this much ballyhooed ballot. Others, hearing that the Republican candidate HAD dropped out, would just stay home in dismay that they had no candidate to vote for now. Yet others no doubt would be swayed against Hoffman by AmeriCorps rent-a-mob hirelings impersonating the well-known secret hoards of "Reblican activists" who love to loiter at the polls to intimidate union thugs, black panthers and the like into voting conservative. Best of luck to Mr. Owens in reversing the overreaching tide in Washington, D.C. that is now "saving or creating" so many jobs that Americans are almost wishing for bygone "neocon days" again.
