Since I had received a brief, administrative e-mail from you yesterday and then heard you being appalauded by Rush on our local talkie, I was able to tell my wife that I was in touch with today’s newsmakers!

Almost got a leg tingle…

by Doug Hoffman, posted election night 09

America has changed, and you have helped. Although we did not succeed in winning this election, we have succeeded in making sure political parties and special interests no longer take the people for granted. I believe we have sent a powerful message and laid the groundwork for future conservative campaigns.

I congratulate Bill Owens on a hard won victory. In our tradition of free elections, our country continues. And although Bill Owens has won, I believe America is turning the page to a new dawn.

The ideas of freedom, sound fiscal management and citizen government have sprung back into our consciousness. Our founding fathers would be proud of New York 23. It was here that our principles, those that have been the foundation of our nation, came back to life with a vengeance. And it was here that the people rose up against the political bosses who tried to impose their will. It was here that people reached out to control their own destinies again.

Despite the election results, I am optimistic for our future, because now I know that I am not alone in wanting to repair our great nation. Throughout this campaign I have been inspired by the outpouring of support and the intensity of that support.

I’ve met many different people in this campaign, from many walks of life and many professions; each with a different personal story to share. Yet we are all united in the belief that by participating in democracy, we could inspire change.

I urge that no one feel defeated, for this was only one of many elections. We came close, we put our agenda in front of the nation and the nation took notice. The worse thing we could do now, is not continue forward. Next year there are other elections and other candidates who have drawn inspiration from our efforts.

I would like to thank all of you who placed your faith in me, who worked tirelessly and shared your enthusiasm with those around you. You are all patriots, you have all stood up for your country and I am honored to stand among you.

Thank you,

Doug Hoffman

We can almost win without them. They’re NOTHING without us.

Welcome to our tent, but go sit at the kids table!

*I hope I can call you that

It looks like Hoffman might have a big group pushing him to run again in 2010.

And who knows, if Owens becomes a blue dog Democrat and isn’t liberal enough, he might have that left-wing Democrat primary challenge by the super pro-abort lib Scozzafava!

Are you blushing yet?

I know I would be.
