Hoffman, the guy the GOP leadership declared “has no integrity and is unfit for any office.”

This has been another edition of “The GOP has NO Sense of Irony…”

Thanks for sharing your personal experience, though.

How would it have been different for her politically just to stay in the race, in which case Owens would have had a better chance of beating Hoffman?

If Owens wins now, though, wouldn’t it be a big win for all thinking Americans and a big loss for “the Palin effect” people, the Beckerheads, the Dittoheads and other assorted crazies?

About 20 years ago Bill Owens was my lawyer for a building project and several other interesting issues way up in the 23rd. Bill is a fine person, a great lawyer and would make a fantastic representative. I hope with all I have that the good people of the 23rd come out on Tuesday and vote against Hoffman, the guy the GOP leadership declared “has no integrity and is unfit for any office.”

So Todd says the GOP caught a break? That’s a laugh. This whole race is a disaster for them either way. Todd should stop being such an enabler and apologist for his GOP/Corporate masters and tell the truth. But I ain’t counting on it.

One local Republican operative I saw quoted said “Who the fuck does Sarah Palin think she IS?”
