| I think the Dem is going to win NY23. Faux News has nothing on their homepage about the race at all |
|
and they've been hyping this race, but now it is as if the race never happened. http://www.foxnews.com/ |

November 3, 2009
SARANAC LAKE, N.Y. — Votes were being counted late into the night in a hard-fought contest between a staunch conservative and a moderate Democrat for New York State’s northernmost Congressional seat, leaving one of the biggest questions in politics unanswered.

| 2. They likely have a few folks at Hoffman HQ who've phoned in that |
|
the race is (maybe) or (likely) lost and that Owens will be the winner.
That's my hope, anyway.

| 3. That is to be expected in the universe of Fair and Balanced Fox. |

Just as as soon as the Dem won Gilly's seat in NY over the Republican it was no longer a referendum on Obama. The story quickly disappeared. Fox is pathetic and transparent.

| 6. The downside of this win.... |
|
.... IF we win ..... is that it's not an easy story to report. "Dems lose 2 Governors races and the mayoral race of NYC" just simply makes a better headline than "a Dem won some random House district." WE have been following it and understand the importance of it all but it's too difficult of a story to explain in sound byte form.

|
If they don't figure that out, they ain't got a prayer.

| 13. Fox also claims that Christie Upset Corzine |

Pretty sure you cant call it an upset if Christie was up in all the polls.
