This is so rich and so republican. The NY-23 district race was important until it wasn't. We all know why it wasn't too. Hoffman lost, therefore this was no more about the rise of the conservative tea baggers, who lost. Did I mention that they lost? Fox was right on point to show how non-bias they were all during the great debate. After the defeat, it was amazing how every one fell silent about the whole race. I guess we can easily say Hoffman's lost was a referendum against tea baggers that suffer from delusions of grandeur. (h/t Jed from Daily Kos TV).
