NY-23 Not Over Yet

They are still counting votes in NY-23. It turns out Hoffman might have prematurely conceded.

Washington — Conservative Doug Hoffman conceded the race in the 23rd Congressional District last week after receiving two pieces of grim news for his campaign: He was down 5,335 votes with 93 percent of the vote counted on election night, and he had barely won his stronghold in Oswego County.As it turns out, neither was true.

The fact that this guy conceded so fast, and as it turns out possibly incorrectly, might be grounds to concluded that he has no business being in that job to begin with.

This line from the stroy was a real jaw dropper though:

…Owens still led by about 3,000 votes, and that the special election was not contested — two factors that legally allowed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to swear in Owens on Friday.

The Democrats must be over that whole Florida thing, because if memory serves, Al Gore conceded in 2000.
