BREAKING: Owens wins NY-23

By Airbare8 ( November 4, 2009 at 12:34 am) · Filed under Federal Races, NY Politics, News, airbare8

A big upset in a district that hasn’t voted for a Democrat since the Civil War: Democrat Bill Owens wins in New York’s 23rd District, taking the seat from the Republicans. With 88% of precincts reporting, Owens has 60,458 votes (49%), Hoffman has 56,174 votes (46%), and Scozzafava has 6,796 votes (6%).

AP has called it for Owens and Hoffman has conceded. This is big and it displaces many of the other losses from tonight.

We’ll have more analysis tomorrow on this earthquake of a special election result.

    Conservapedia is printing in giant letters that Republicans have won the gubernatorial races in NJ and Virginia. I cannot WAIT to see their reaction to Owens winning, or timing how long it takes for them to acknowledge this fact!
