ReConservative ReFounder ReDoug ReHoffman reconcedes:
The Conservative Party candidate conceded a race in upstate New York for a U.S. House of Representatives seat for the second time Tuesday, saying he doesn’t have enough votes.
Last week, Doug Hoffman withdrew his election night concession to Democratic Rep. Bill Owens, saying the race was close enough that absentee ballots could change the outcome.
Now Hoffman says he has no hope of winning.
[...]
Hoffman sent a letter to supporters last week seeking money for a legal challenge of the outcome. The Federal Election Commission said recount funds are legal, but the contributions would have to meet campaign finance limits, and if the money isn’t used for a recount it would have to be refunded.
A spokesman for Hoffman said the campaign didn’t know whether it had received any funds or would be returning any money.
So it is entirely possible that Hoffman didn’t receive any contributions to pay for a recount proving that money is about the only thing a teabagger won’t put where their mouth is.
Needless to say, this good news for Erik Ericksonofagunderson

Do I hear the symphony of ten thousand tiny violins playing for Mr. Hoffman?
There’s an old saying that you can tell how blessed by God you are by the quality of your opponents.
I guess we’re getting our own little corner in heaven with valet parking.
ReShorter ReDoug:
I’ve been rethinking the redo. We can’t rewind it, and I gotta give refunds to all the repubs. We look re-diculous.
Shorter Prince Rogers Hoffman:
“How can U just leave me standin’, alone in world that’s so cold? Maybe I’m just like The Paylin. She’s never satisfied.”
ReAlso.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA fucking HA HA HA HA!
Stupid ass out-of-town motherfucker thinkin’ he can come to MY town, bring his motherfucking right-wing friends for hire, acting like we’re a bunch of rubes that’ll fall for some dumbass motherfucking tea-baggin’ shit?
First he quits, then he blames ACORN and the unions, then he blames the voting inspectors (of which I was one). Fuck him and his motherfucking buddies with dirty broken bottles sideways.
Motherfuckers.
Is there a photo of Hoffman anywhere that doesn’t make him look like a crazy man? The guy has high beams – his constant facial expression looks like he’s just seen a vampire fucking a goat.
What’s up with that?
Now go ahead and tell us how you really feel. Heh!
It seems like only days ago that the wingers were awash in Hoffmania. They were all “On to 2012!” and “Now they have to listen to us!” If anything proves that these mouth-breathing, self-important little jerks live completely inside their heads NY-23 was it. In their tiny minds, Hoffman had already won because nothing could stand against their wrath. Why as soon as people heard Hoffman’s message of common sense conservatism there would be cheering crowds carrying him through the streets on their shoulders. How’d that work out, assholes?
That’s just like the most common picture of that nutcase Bachmann. That must be a chosen pose for these people.
I am so finding a way to use that in conversation at the office today!
Of course this is fantastic news for John reMcCain.
Word. Up.
As you can tell by just about any picture of ReDoug that shows his teeth.
Poor widdle Erick…so wrong, for so long. I think he needs career counseling, ’cause this blogging thing just isn’t working out too well for him.
Your comment is all kinds of awesome.
Hey, Hot Dog Bill Jacobson, PONY THE FUCK UP.
No…it’s called save the money for next year when he’ll have the combined support of the GOP and the Conservative party and will whip Hoffman out of the House back to whatever cave he came from…
But wait. Hoffman is ur guy and he’s not gonna be in the House. He lost. Are you currently oriented as to time, place and person?
Uh oh, JD. I think the Geezer my have finally spun himself into a dizzying dementia. It’s unfortunate he can’t be treated, since he declined his gubbmint medicare. Maybe a cup of green tea with some ginkgo biloba will help. Geez, just heat some water on the stove and drop in one of those teabags hanging from your ear.
So, Geezer, you are such a master of political discourse that you think (1) that Hoffman won the election and is in the House, and (2) you want to “whip” him out of the House and back to his cave? My God! The coruscating brilliance! No wonder we cringe in terror before your genius here in TBoggistan! In your alternate reality, is Sarah Palin the Empress of the Galaxy?
