 conservative, Republican moderates (and there are many of them) will prefer the Democrat. Conservatives seem to be suffering from an inflated view of their own relevance in the political process. I wonder if Sarah Palin has scraped the egg off her face.
It's not egg but the mark of treachery that is on the face of GOP bosses who spent a million dollars to help Scozzafava to get into a position to distort the outcome. What this clearly suggests is that conservatives should stop giving their money or votes in support of a Party that is in the grip of people methodically committed to thwarting their conservative views.
Time to stop letting the left wing tail wag the conservative dog. As a result of NY 23 more people than ever are finally on the way to doing so. They're starting to see through the threatening sophistry you're practicing as they realize that it facilitates sham elections in which a leftist minority (that includes people of both party labels) exerts de facto control of the political process.
Keep pushing your worn out wares if it makes you happy. Fewer and fewer people are listening to you.
I realize that the "more than a hundred years" thing could be disputed, but I would rather make a different point.
The Republicans had every reason to suppose that this would be an utterly secure seat for them. But when Palin didn't like their pick, she threw her support behind a completely unknown third party candidate with zero prior political experience (and little mass charm that anyone could detect)...and knocked the Republican candidate clear out of the race. Literally...out of the race.
Think about what that means for any future candidate picks by the Republicans. They can posture about how Palin didn't win...but before this nobody believed that that race was even going to be a contest. She destroyed their candidate in an election that should have been a mere formality. Palin demonstrated that she can effectively veto any Republican's chances of getting elected anywhere in the country.
Electability? The biggest criterion right now is whether Palin will support a third party candidate to the right. If she does, not only is the Republican unelectable, there isn't even any point running one.
The party aklraedy tried political assassination, and it didn't work, in fact it seems to have backfired rather badly. They are basically going to have to run their candidates past Palin and ask her permission for each one.
If they have any intention of winning, that is...the 23rd race would indicate that isn't their real objective.
Dr. Keyes: With all due respect, it's time conservatives set up their own party instead of riding on the coat-tails of Republicans. That would demonstrate once and for all exactly how relevant the conservative position is. The claim that 40% of Americans are "conservative" is meaningless if the vast majority of them are located in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas.
Someone hasn't been following the conversation here.
For, like...a long time.

Hacken, an ecosystem of white-hat hackers and the bug bounty marketplace with a focus on blockchain security, impressed investors at the leading conference on decentralization, D10e.
Hacken co-Founder Dmytro Budorin’s outstanding pitch on the stage which was watched by the stars of the World Economic Forum, received 3rd place out of 23 startups from around the world and a $83,333 reward. The jury based their decision on the following judging criteria: business model, scalability, team, investor terms/liquidity, solution of the problem, token model/ token and proceeds distribution. The 12th D10e edition took place from November 11-14, 2017 in Davos, Switzerland.
This is Hacken’s second victory at D10e: only this last September Hacken took 2nd place in the pitch contest in Kyiv, Ukraine, winning 33 BTC for project development.

Hacken, an ecosystem of white-hat hackers and a bug bounty marketplace with a focus on blockchain security, and Jibrel Network, the first protocol with built-in regulatory compliance that allows anyone to put traditional assets like currencies, bonds and other financial instruments standard ERC-20 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain, announce their cooperation.
Talal Tabbaa, Jibrel’s Co-Founder and Business Development Lead, says: “Digital Financial assets is a sensitive field that requires the highest levels of cyber protection. Hacken is building a cybersecurity ecosystem that will combine expertise of the world’s top white-hat hackers and blockchain experts which makes us confident this cooperation will improve the security of our platform. Hacken’s business model is a true revolution in blockchain security”.
Dmytro Budorin, Hacken’s Co-Founder and CFO, says: “The Jibrel Network is bringing traditional financial assets to the blockchain aiming to fully automate and decentralize consumer banking. While blockchain technology provides inherent security itself, the projects which build their products and services around the blockchain require effective penetration testing and bug hunting to make sure they’re protected. Our partnership with Jibrel will help the network detect and mitigate cybersecurity risks in real-time”.

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Oct. 8, 2014) - Housing starts in the Peterborough Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) were trending at an annual rate of 227 units in September compared to 239 in August, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a six month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) 1 of housing starts.
"The housing starts trend was stable in September. This is the second consecutive month with no multiple starts. Nevertheless, expect more starts for semi-detached and row housing, as they are less expensive than single-detached dwellings," 155 units in September, down from 224In the post below, some folks are sharing where they first heard of Rotten Chestnuts. It’s humbling and frightening at the same time. Humbling, because every author, no matter how deservedly obscure, wants his work read, and it’s crazy to think people have been discussing this stuff elsewhere, even overseas, if only in a “check out this silly lunatic” way. Frightening, in that it scares me shitless that any but the most idiosyncratic stuff — the stuff that’s obviously just me going off on my pet obsessions, like Conan the Barbarian — is anything other than obvious. What I mean is, there’s value in someone finally saying what we’re all thinking, and I sincerely hope this is that for everyone, but I’m such a weirdo that if these are new thoughts for people, they’re much likelier to be offput by the expression (and the expressor (it’s a word)) than converted.
Ever seen an addict up close? Ever seen someone become an addict? There’s an interesting progression that can be extrapolated to other things, including political behavior.
I had a buddy in grad school, let’s call him Todd, who became a drunk. When we started the program, he didn’t drink at all. By the time I finished, Todd had racked up a string of citations for public intox; he was actually looking at some jail time. He wasn’t homeless, but he was damn close. He was an utter wreck of a person.
Now, as everyone knows, there’s a heavy genetic component to addiction. Yes, anyone can become an addict — a mad scientist could create a drunk in the lab by forcing alcohol down someone’s throat every two hours for months on end — but some of us have an inherited propensity for addictive behavior. Todd was definitely in the latter category, and knew it — he didn’t drink when we started, at least in part, because he had lots of family members who struggled with alcoholism.
Then epigenetics took over. Grad school is the ground floor of the ivory tower; the in-processing center for Never-Never-Land. As such, regular use of behavior-altering substances is pretty much required — I don’t know of a single person in academia (in the Humanities at least) of whom I can say with complete confidence, “xyzrhm doesn’t have at least a Xanax prescription.” B
