Democratic candidate wins New York's 23rd for first time since Civil War

[BirminghamExaminer]

Excerpt:

Thanks largely in part to the very conservative wing of the Republican party, Dick Armey, Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck, the Republican candidate for New York's 23rd district was forced to drop out of the race when she ran out of campaign funds. Armey, Palin and Beck promoted the third party candidate, Doug Hoffman, of the Conservative Party who has just conceded the election to the Democratic Candidate Bill Owens, according to NBC and the Adirondack Almack.

Hoffman who admitted that Glenn Beck was his mentor conceded the race to Democrat Bill Owens just after midnight, eastern time.

1. They voted down the zombie glen beck

candidate and elected a Dem for the first time since 1852!

Just think, Dede could have been the winner if limpbaugh and all the other ghouls hadn't stuck their nose in.

2. Great news:)

Glenn Beck was actually his 'mentor'??? Yikes.

You go girl.

3. I guess they want to shrink the GOP until you can drown it in a bathtub

I should maybe add something about strangling the last Fox host with the guts of the last teabagger -- but that would be gratuitously violent, and us liberals don't talk that way even as historical references.

At this point, though, the GOP sure does seem to be circling the drain.
