Yesterday, Repugnants gained two governorships in Virginia and New Jersey, but more importantly they lost the close special election in New York's 23rd Congressional District. Sarah Palin and her right wing supporters intervened on behalf of a conservative male forcing a moderate woman from the race. Dierdre Scozzafava was the original candidate, but she was forced to withdraw after her rival received $1 million from the laissez faire "Club for Growth" and celebrity media attacks on Scozzafava by the emotionally unstable Glen Beck, and drug-addicted racist Rush Limbaugh. Scozzafava supported abortion rights and gay marriage, as well as 44's stimulus package. She endorsed the Democratic candidate after withdrawing from the race. Democrat Bill Owens won the race with about 49% of the vote, the first time a Democrat has held the seat in more than a century. The defeat blunts the drive led by former Governor Palin to completely take over the increasingly rightist Republican Party.
