Hoffman has also critized Pelosi for swearing in Owens before the vote was certified. You can see a portion of an interview Neil Cavuto did with Hoffman on this issue here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Zlg0GR84Jo&feature=player_embedded I believe Owens’ swearing in was possible because Hoffman conceded.

The Conservative line beat the Democratic line; and it appears that the Working Families line beat the Republican line (a couple of counties merged the parties for a single candidate together). Owens plurality in his Clinton County (his home county) is about the same as his district plurality, and he won the northeastern part of the district, while Owen led in southern and western parts of the district, though by somewhat lesser margins.

I stand by the rest. Hoffman et al's policies would have turned the Great Recession we are in now into the Great Depression 2. He's bad news. OK, drop the last sentence in #4. I stand by the rest.

If someone diasgrees with you it doesn't mean that they are a Rush dittohead. So when you say "have a good look around" maybe you should take your own advise. Just some constructive criticism (: Best regards~ Then we are in agreement. If someone diasgrees with you it doesn’t mean that they are a Rush dittohead.
