Tonight, I want to go through two news items that caught my eye the most. First of all, Doug "Carpetbagger" Hoffman is "un-conceding" (which has no legal meaning) at the behest of his BFF Glenn Beck despite having the odds massively stacked against him.
Also, the pollster Susquehanna has veteran and Attorney-General Beau Biden ahead of Representative Mike Castle 45-40!
Read about it all below the fold.
First, from Think Progress, today on Glenn Beck's radio show, they discussed the fact that Bill Owens' lead has narrowed from over 5,000 to 3,000 with most of the absentee ballots counted. Despite the fact that Hoffman conceded on November 3rd and Bill Owens was sworn in a few days later, Doug Hoffman is still under some unfathomable illusion that he can still win. So, he "un-concedes" after a gentle goading by his dom...er...I mean mentor, Glenn Beck.
BECK: Alright, so let me ask you two questions. Are you currently bowing to me at the waist? (LAUGHTER) Have you bowed, or will you bow, to anyone, at the waist? No? Okay, good. Second question for you, are you officially un-conceding at this moment?
HOFFMAN: Yes, if I knew this information at the election night, I would not have conceded.
BECK: So are you un-conceding?
HOFFMAN: If that’s possible, yes.
BECK: If the President can bow to an emperor and nobody says anything, yeah, I think you can unconcede.
Funny stuff, am I right?
Doug Hoffman lost fair and square and he'll learn that when the count is completed.
OOPS!

Meanwhile, there's some crucial news in the 2010 Special Election for Joe Biden's seat that will supposedly be between career politician and centrist Republican Mike Castle and Attorney-General Beau Biden. A new Susquehanna poll has Beau ahead of Castle by 45 to 40!
This is great news for the Democrats' prospects at keeping Biden's seat blue. Biden has announced his desire to run, but hasn't officially stepped in yet. C'mon, Beau, run! Acquire the seat that your father had held since 1973!

UPDATE: Here's the proof that Bill Owens' election is sealed and that Hoffman is desperately grabbing at straw.
UPDATE X2: Rachel Maddow just mentioned the crazy Hoffman debacle on her show. =D
UPDATE X3: Some humor, c/o nonnie9999:
