Amidst all the masturbating over O’Donnell’s victory, don’t forget that New York’s Republicans picked Carl Paladino to run for governor against Andrew Cuomo. Carl’s the guy who sent around hardcore pornographic and racist emails on a teabagger mailing list.
And while we’re examining the meltdown of the New York Republican Party, teabagger Doug Hoffman, who was the reason that a Democrat won NY-23 for the first time since the Civil War, lost his primary, but he’s not conceding. That means he’s probably going to run on the Conservative Party line, allowing Republicans to split their votes and guaranteeing another Democratic victory in that district.
