I have been hearing rumblings about the following for some time....Let Bill Owens win with 36% and crush him with an R-C nominee next year.

As a republican, I could never support Owens, but I am not satified with any of the options. My voting strategy at this point is to think about the 2010 election. I would like to see a better republican choice on the ticket (right now my head is with Doheny - his strengths are the exact same weaknesses of Hoffman and Dede - he knows the issues well (unlike Hoffman) and would be well funded (unlike Dede). I could put up with Owens in the seat for a year for Doheny to get the chair back this time next year. Otherwise, if one of the two republicans win (I still call Hoffman a second republican candidate), then we will be left with a mediocre candidate in Washington. I want to be proud of district, so I am actually hoping Owens wins in 2009 and Doheny wins in 2010. Strange strategy, I know, but having a more long term plan makes sense to me.
That's the dilemma the GOP nominee has....Without the legitimacy bestowed by a primary, there are all sorts of spurious motives in the party of Lincoln.

Good luck in 2010 you have kept your word unlike Doug.....My dad the the demmy will be voting for De De along with alot more dont be surprised .I have been wrong before not that often..
Juston
Well Juston
You will be wrong this time. Dede finishes dead last. And Dede isn't backed by all the county chairs. It wasn't unanimous and they are peeling away one by one. Her base is disheartened and disgusted at the mess of a campaign she has run. Calling the cops on a reporter? Come on. And that's the person you would like representing you? The GOP poster is right. Owens will win.
Owens has not even showed up..I just told u that I put my ballot up for Matt but unlike some of the County Chairs I did not cry over spilled milk.I think its about local people and she is local, Fort Drum is a major factor for me it is our bread and butter..As far as abortion and gay marriage go,I let God handle those issues.If thats why you do not like her look at the big picture like I have she is married to a man and has four children easy enough..A reporter in the parking lot from a conservitive newspaper wonder what the wack job looked like I would have handed his ass to him...Sorry about my spelling.
Just got a call from the democrats looking for callers, there scared of Hoffman.
Re: Anon. 8:52 Exactly Juston, you would have "handed the reporter's ass to him", just as my husband would have done for me. Today on the hotline Dede stated that she was fine with the reporter in the parking lot in Lewis County, however, her husband was not and thought that the correct course of action was to call the cops. My thought was that if she could not impose her beliefs effectively on her husband, how will she impose her beliefs in Congress. I am a life-long Republican and I am very disappointed in the choice of Dede. My vote will go to Hoffman.
Well anon 10:17 thank you for election Bill Owens.
10:17 great point...if she can't negotiate a situation with the hubby how can she do it with the sharks in washington? Personally, her "the hubby did it" position is just PR - it wasn't her fault. Which is also another lovely trait to have when she is representing us, how many times will we have to listen to "it wasn't my fault" in the future if we put her in there.
I like Matt, except for some of his socially conservative positions. I'd rather see somebody a little more moderate in that area.
i think you people better look into the matt thing alittle harder . he has some issues that people dont no about . i think he needs to clean up his old issues in the local area before he tries to run the state!!!!!!!!!
Im voting for owens so a real republican can run and win like doheny.
