Fresh from Wasilla:
A Victory for Common Sense and Fiscal Sanity
Today at 11:43pm
Congratulations to the new Governors-Elect of Virginia and New Jersey!
I’d also like to offer a special word of support to the new Lieutenant
Governor-Elect of New Jersey, Kim Guadagno, the first woman to hold
that office.
Of course, the real victors in this election are the ordinary men and
women who voted for positive change and a return to fiscal sanity. Your
voices have been heard.
The race for New York’s 23rd District is not over, just postponed until
2010. The issues of this election have always centered on the economy –
on the need for fiscal restraint, smaller government, and policies that
encourage jobs. In 2010, these issues will be even more crucial to the
electorate. I commend Doug Hoffman and all the other under-dog
candidates who have the courage to put themselves out there and run
against the odds.
To the tireless grassroots patriots who worked so hard in that race and
to future citizen-candidates like Doug, please remember Reagan’s words
of encouragement after his defeat in 1976:
"The cause goes on. Don't get cynical because look at yourselves and
what you were willing to do, and recognize that there are millions and
millions of Americans out there that want what you want, that want it
to be that way, that want it to be a shining city on a hill."
The cause goes on.
- Sarah Palin
Hard to add to such eloquent words
from both Palin and Reagan. Tonight was a great night. Obama style
hopenchange was wildly rejected by voters in Virginia, where
Conservatives swept in a land slide. And in New Jersey, where Obama
himself campaigned on six different trips, the very blue state went red
in a big way.
I don’t have video of Doug Hoffman’s
concession speech yet, but I saw it on a live feed from the local
television station. Very upbeat:
"This one was worth the fight," "This is only one fight in the battle."
____Doug Hoffman
His supporters were very upbeat as well. One supporter was heard to say: "Twelve Months."
Hoffman and Conservatives around the
nation sent a clear message to the GOP. No more squishes! Voters in NJ
and Virginia sent a strong message to Barack Obama and the radical
democrat/communist party as well.
The cause goes on.
