The Tea Party Factor:NY-23
NY 23 Election Results: Bill Owens Beats Doug Hoffman

ALBANY, N.Y. — President Barack Obama's decision in June to appoint a Republican congressman to a Pentagon post has paid dividends in November now that Democrats have gained the House seat by capitalizing on a split between moderates and conservatives in the GOP.

Lawyer and retired Air Force Capt. Bill Owens won the special election Tuesday in northern New York in which the Republican candidate withdrew over the weekend under pressure from the party's right wing and GOP heavyweights endorsed the Conservative Party nominee.

When the candidate is a far right tea bagger, moderate republicans will go to the Democratic candidate or stay home and we WIN!
