“Douglas Hoffman, the Conservative candidate who Limbaugh and Palin embraced despite the fact that he didn’t even reside in the district, might have been broadly acceptable to Republicans in rural Mississippi or Tennessee but not in an increasingly competitive district like the New York 23rd where Barack Obama won a narrow victory over John McCain last year. By not realizing this, movement conservatives provided Democrats with one of their only bright spots on a night when perhaps they warranted none.”–Political Scientist Marc Hetherington as quoted at The Monkey Cage.
