…that took place around 6:47 a.m. EST and it’s one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while, mocking the MSM predictions that the Election of Obama has changed the country.

Now the Dede the angry has decided to go democrat: (Someone should ask Susan Collins if she is glad she campaigned for her last week).

He made fun of the fact that the media is insisting the the reason why Dede the angry was dumped was abortion and gay marriage. An example:

The Brooksville Republican — and Albany native — was in New York recently to help Scozzafava raise money along with Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine.

In an interview last week, Brown-Waite said Scozzafava was being unfairly maligned and had a solid Republican record. Scozzafava ran into troubles with her base — including Sarah Palin — for supporting gay rights and abortion rights and was perceived as not tough enough on fiscal issues. “I resented that here was a woman whose stand is so similar to John McHue’s (who resigned the seat to become President Obama’s Army Secretary) and yet she’s being attacked.”

Frank Rich was even crazier but lets look at Sarah Palin’s actual endorsement:

The people of the 23rd Congressional District of New York are ready to shake things up, and Doug Hoffman is coming on strong as Election Day approaches! He needs our help now.

The votes of every member of Congress affect every American, so it’s important for all of us to pay attention to this important Congressional campaign in upstate New York. I am very pleased to announce my support for Doug Hoffman in his fight to be the next Representative from New York’s 23rd Congressional district. It’s my honor to endorse Doug and to do what I can to help him win, including having my political action committee, SarahPAC, donate to his campaign the maximum contribution allowed by law.

Our nation is at a crossroads, and this is once again a “time for choosing.”

Pretty generic, but the next paragraph is sure to be a litany of social issues right?

The federal government borrows, spends, and prints too much money, while our national debt hits a record high. Government is growing while the private sector is shrinking, and unemployment is on the rise. Doug Hoffman is committed to ending the reckless spending in Washington, D.C. and the massive increase in the size and scope of the federal government. He is also fully committed to supporting our men and women in uniform as they seek to honorably complete their missions overseas.

And best of all, Doug Hoffman has not been anointed by any political machine.

Doug Hoffman stands for the principles that all Republicans should share: smaller government, lower taxes, strong national defense, and a commitment to individual liberty.

Well yeah yeah yeah spending spending spending but I’m sure the next part is going to be all over Gay Marriage:

Political parties must stand for something. When Republicans were in the wilderness in the late 1970s, Ronald Reagan knew that the doctrine of “blurring the lines” between parties was not an appropriate way to win elections. Unfortunately, the Republican Party today has decided to choose a candidate who more than blurs the lines, and there is no real difference between the Democrat and the Republican in this race. This is why Doug Hoffman is running on the Conservative Party’s ticket.

Well she mentions Reagan and he was against Gay Marriage, of course there was no pol for gay marriage during the Reagan years. So it’s maybe implied but I’m sure she will finish with social issues:

Republicans and conservatives around the country are sending an important message to the Republican establishment in their outstanding grassroots support for Doug Hoffman: no more politics as usual.

You can help Doug by visiting his official website below and joining me in supporting his campaign:

Well the next line is going to stress it. What there is no next line?

I guess Joe was right.

Vote Hoffman

Full disclosure: I am as a practicing Catholic of course against Gay Marriage and Abortion.

You owe us $900,000.

Signed Republican contributes.

Vote Hoffman!

P. S. Without a doubt defeating her as a republican is the single most important outcome of this race. Even if the election is lost on Tuesday we have won big but the party doesn’t get it.

Update: Eric Erickson is playing Red Queen and he has cause.

I had intended to start a daily reminder that Pete Sessions and Guy Harrison remain on the job and should be fired. They wasted $900,000.00 on a “Republican” who dropped out and endorsed the Democrat.

If Pete Sessions and Guy Harrison have such little respect for donor money in this race, how can we trust them in other races. After all, except for the Pauline Kaels of the Beltway GOP, it was abundantly obvious to everyone else that Dede Scozzafava was not a moderate, but a Democratic leftist.

Sadly, I don’t have the time. There are bigger fish to fry. I do think either or both Sessions and Harrison must be fired if they will not resign. Dignity and common decency demand it.

They seem to have none though and there are only so many fronts on which we can fight. So we will remember this, but we will choose to fight another day.

After all, we did win. But if I were a Republican Congressman, I’d be hacked off by the malpractice at the NRCC.

Dede for Owens

Via Gateway Pundit Dede Scozzafava has picked her choice for Ny-23 and to nobody’s surprise, it isn’t the conservative:

During the day Saturday, she began to quietly and thoughtfully encourage her supporters to vote for Democrat William L. Owens.

And of course the local press follows suit.

I can’t say I’m surprised first of all her political positions and her unwillingness to solidly commit to remaining a republican made it unlikely that she would support a conservative, in addition it would be a bitter pill to do otherwise. On a personal level you can’t really blame her. That’s just human nature.

Of course if the NRCC had brains they would have done something for her to soften the blow, a policy position, some patronage etc. Apparently they didn’t. Can’t anyone play this game?

Doesn’t change anything though:

Vote Hoffman!

A: The democrats have decided that Doug Hoffman is scary.

There is a method to this madness. Hoffman has not won the election yet. Expect a full-out media blitz by the Democrats in the last three days of the campaign to portray Hoffman as the reincarnation of Timothy McVeigh.

And of course now that Newt has come out for Hoffman his prospects for extra appearances on MSM shows are shot.
