It’s All But Official: Hoffman Wins New York 23 Race UPDATE: Hoffman Loses
Update: May have been a bit hasty with this. Democrat Bill Owens has a slight edge in the race right now.
Update 2: Live results are still pouring in, but the race is pretty much over. Owens beats Hoffman by 4 points, with Scozzafava picking up 5% of the vote.
A big win in Virginia, now a big win in New York and Christie is leading in New Jersey:
De facto Republican nominee Doug Hoffman is now favored to win Tuesday’s special election in upstate New York.
Two new polls showed Hoffman with significant leads in the race, including by double digits in one of them. Yet in a contest full of anomalies, and after a weekend that included the GOP nominee’s withdrawal and cross-party endorsement, neither side is calling the race at this point.
The only problem Republicans may face now is letting their heads get too swollen with these wins. Republicans have to show that they earned these victories. Not that they won because people got fed up with Democrats.
