The headline in Politico.com...

...says Conservatives on NY-23: We didn't lose. Of course not; neither did the Phillies.

One Florida-based tea-bagger, Everett Wilkinson, went so far as to say, “I wouldn’t consider it a loss. I think we were successful.” I'm sure Phillies' manager Charlie Manuel feels the same way this morning. We didn't lose the World Series, four games to two. We won.

Even Dick Armey could see through all the Democrats' spin. “He just got there late, that’s all,” Armey said. “We think small-government conservatives had a big victory last night.” That's right, Dick. Second-place in a two-man race is always considered a "big victory."

Wilkinson echoed Armey's point. “I think time was the biggest factor, and if [Hoffman had] had a bit more time, he would have won.” Never mind that one poll had Hoffman with a 17-point lead on Sunday night. Maybe he had too much time.

And Sarah Palin's words to Hoffman and other wingnuts? "The cause goes on." As a die-hard Cubs fan, I can relate.
