I wish that NY's 23rd had gone different. Here we had a local Republican chosen by other local Republicans to represent local Republican issues being stepped on by big, bad, outsider Washington D.C. elites (and a half-term, half-assed Alaska Governor) trying to impose their will by forcing a candidate on them that didn't even live in the district. Had the Conservative won his victory would have fed the resentment of the local Republicans and helped to encourage the split between dedicated party members and disaffected conservatives. The fact that the Democrat won provides more opportunity for "healing" and having a common enemy. I would rather the conservative walked away with the seat because anything that reduces the ever-shrinking area beneath the Republican umbrella is okay with me; keep drumming out those moderates, extremism or bust!
