Cat got Doug Hoffman’s tongue?
Failed Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman is delaying his announcement of a decision to challenge the results of the special election in New York’s 23rd Congressional District until probably tomorrow. Jude Seymour, who has worked harder than probably anyone else to report on the facts of this election in New York’s North Country, writes at his blog:
Rob Ryan, a spokesman for Doug Hoffman, said the Conservative Party candidate “will issue a statement later today” about whether or not he will challenge the results of the 23rd Congressional District race.
“More probably tomorrow,” Mr. Ryan’s e-mail concluded.
Perhaps he’s waiting until tomorrow when Clinton County officials are set to complete their count of absentee ballots as Seymour also reports. But it’s worth noting that Rep. Bill Owens’s lead actually grew by 324 votes in the latest spurt of absentee counting. And the bigger the margin by which Owens beats Hoffman, the uglier it starts to look as Hoffman throws around his fictions about ACORN, unions, and electoral fraud.
