re: #123 iceweasel

Lots of people were wondering last night how the tea partiers were going to interpret or spin the NY-23 loss, and what message the GOP would draw from it, including on this thread. Hence posting Weigel’s take on it (he was there covering it).

There are a lot of lessons to be learned from ceding a 100-year Republican seat over to the D’s, especially in this political climate. They should learn that the locals know best, that New York voters are not Mississippi voters, and that you cannot increase your vote totals by driving reasonable people out of your coalition.

But I expect them to put their fingers in their ears and scream “ACORN ACORN ACORN.”
