That Tedisco-Murphy special election sure was exciting. Nobody won, officially, yet, although Democrat Scott Murphy has a small but solid non-Lizard People lead. But there are MILITARY absentee ballots still being counted, and regular absentee ballots, 4% still uncounted, in all — so who knows, right? The only real drama was “When will Michael Steele come out and try to desperately spin this in favor, so the Confederacy doesn’t make him vanish?
And now we know! He just had to get his blog post together for the GOP website, The Politico.
Well, the voters have spoken, and while the results are still pending, Republicans are confident that the final vote tallies will show those voters have rejected the president’s approach.
Uh, yeah, this works a little bit better when the race has actually been decided, and when your side actually wins.

Whatever. As long as I don’t have to leave Wonkette to purchase my military equipment online.
This will be soooooo funny if the dem wins and three years from now is seated.
It is time to call this election. Fonzie has won. Let’s admit it. While there are still ballots to be counted, we are confident that the Fonz will come out on top, and this is very exciting news.
It’s been a long time coming for Mr. Fonzie. Being a fictitious character on a canceled tee vee show wasn’t easy. But we believe that this moment is an historical one, and for that, we should rejoice as a party.
THIS IS A REFERENDUM ON NOOBAMA HOW MUCH DO WE REALLY KNOW ABOUT HIM??? HE CANT HANDLE THE HIP HOP FLAVA OF TODAZE GOP STRAIGHT UP STEELE IS NOT RACIALLY INSENSITIVE INTOLERANT LIKE PREZIDNT LAWN JOCKEY
Because upstate New York is a microcosm of the rest of the country.
This must be the same math that gave Bush a mandate when less than half of the voters voted for him.
…FAIL!!! in 5…4…3…2…1

Upstate New York is a microcosm of Alabama… but with snow.
Oh yeah, the tide is turning. I can’t wait until he starts touting election wins in Utah and Oklahoma as a sign that the real America is coming home to the Republican Party.
Upstate New York = permanently unemployed people feeding on park squirrels and bumming cigarettes from strangers.
Lizard People will be the power brokers in NY-20. I foresee a stimulus package of insects and small rodents.
We think that those upstate crackers, the natural base of a black Muslim Communist President, will definitely pick that one cracker over the other cracker.
Helen Thomas (in +5 Adamantium Field Plate): Witness ye now the full measure of Even Steel(e)!
I am really disappointed–I was expecting MC Steele to rap out his press releases–wouldn’t that give them more of the urban-suburban flava?
[re=279280]Serolf Divad[/re]:
…and wineries…that give samples.
“The GOP is heads and the DNC is tails. If the Dems lose this coin toss, it PROVES that the American people hate Obama and think he smells like poo. If we win this coin toss, it proves that I’m a great RNC Chair, that we are awesome, and American wants to have like 5000 of our abstinence babies. TOSS!
…
Okay, OKAY. Now, if we win this coin toss…”

Oh, yes. I do miss the wineries. And the summers with their perfect weather. I remember one summer turning on the AC for only two weeks. I don’t miss 6 months of winter, though.
We are confident that if the results show that we won, we will have won this victory showing we won.
[re=279297]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: Minnesota? YOU HAVE BLOWN MY MIND.
I haven’t seen this much desperation since seeing a Desperately Seeking Susan/Desperate Measures starring Michael Keaton and Andy Garcia double bill at the local cinema.
In related news, I think the Adam Ant song Desperate But Not Serious should be the GOP’s new official theme song. I don’t know if we can get a hip-hop remix up in here, up in here but I’m sure the finest Republican DJs will get on it.
In other words, no matter what happens ever it means Obama sux. If you remember that, none of this is confusing.
Why must Steele always play the Congressional Race card?
[re=279280]Serolf Divad[/re]: Microcosm of Alabama? I don’t know, I’ve sometimes ventured as far upstate as northern Westchester county, and it didn’t seem that bad to me.
[re=279280]Serolf Divad[/re]: Upstate of any East coast blue state is a microcasm of Alabama.
Black man with elephantitis of the TruckNutz sez WHAT?
Confederacy of Dunces
I guess this is what David Patterson was thinking:
1. Diss Caroline Kennedy
2. Appoint unknown Democrat from R+5 district and force special election
3. ???
4. Profit!
[re=279302]shortsshortsshorts[/re]:
Oh ya, sure. Must have been a small explosion there don’t cha know.
This pathetic hack complained about Obama not
returning his calls recently. Did somebody
explain to him that his role as Chief Republican
Hack is to actually get GOPers ELECTED, not just
to SPIN election results?
Since nobody explained to the fool that he is in
fact NOT a statesman, but merely a politican (and
constitutionally on equal footing with the head
of the Green Party), I’m sure that while he was
grinning from ear to ear on actually being admitted
through the main entrace at the country club, nobody
explained to him that he ought to know how to count
votes.
Well, the voters have spoken, and while the results are still pending, Republicans are confident that the final vote tallies will show those voters have rejected the president’s approach.
That’s what the Dems thought in 2004. Alas, no.
I can’t for this election to end up before the Intergalactic Council.
I’m really starting to think Barry fucked Mike’s prom date or some shit. Like, on prom night.
Seriously.
At no time ever should a man’s jealousy of another man run this deep.
Micahel, get some therapy and quit parading around with your issues hanging out for all of creation to point and laugh at. It’s pathetisad.
It’s really a two-parter: if the Republicans win, even by one vote, it’s an overwhelming repudiation. If they lose, even by one vote, it’s a sign that his mandate has disappeared and he should compromise with the Republicans (by doing everything they want) or else his presidency is doomed.
I don’t understand why this is so complicated for republicans. We agree we need a stimulus—-even George W. Bush passed a stimulus back in, in seems now like the 1970s now. We gave people a small direct tax payment, and they shoved it under their mattresses. And we cut capital gains to the bone. We let the banks do what they wanted. One year later, we have a crushing recession: we tried their way, it didnt work. Now their solution is just to scream into every available mic that Obama will fail because he is a crazy illegal african with a socialist teleprompter. Its almost as if Limbaugh is running the party.
[re=279278]Naked Bunny with a Whip[/re]: Math is hard, so who is really to say that just because one vote total is higher than the other, that it means that they won. It all seems a little fuzzy to me. Also.
[re=279286]DC Hates Me[/re]:
You forgot about the manicurists and tanning-salon attendants.
Michael Steele continues to do and say moronic things at such a breakneck clip that I worry he’ll have nothing left in him by the time the 2010 elections roll around. Of course, in all likelihood he won’t be around then anyway. Sarah Palin will pray him to death by not later than October 2009.
I love that even RNC propaganda-rag The Politico can’t find a photo of Michael Steele that doesn’t make him look like an embarrassing doofus.
[re=279458]IceCreamEmpress[/re]: That photo is about as easy to find as one
that makes K-LO look like J-LO.
Again with the Alabama comments. We’re not as stoopid as you think we are.
[re=279293]NoWireHangers[/re]: As Dick Cheney would say, “Excellent.” (Not that he would get your post, but that I’m saying it in the creepy way.).
Was this not the election in the Republican district where the R had a 20% lead and was going to prove that Steele was an awesome RNC chairman with no need for no stinking staff to rebirth the GOP? Or did i mix it up with another special, awesome GOP big, easy win election?
Not that any of this shit matters. No Wire is right–they’ll just keep the election tied up on court until the Second Coming of Saint Ronald-the-Messiah leads them to world domination.
In 10 years you’ll walk into an Atlantic City casino and be greeted by Steele who’ll tell you he was once the first black something-or-other.
[re=279409]bricks[/re]: It’s not just Steele either. All of his opponents seem to have a seething resentment of him that reeks of jealousy. Barry is a man that few other men measure up to and those who he makes feel inferior are showing it big time. It’s sad really. I’ve never seen so much male cattiness on display.
