The Democrats Make a Mistake in NY-23

A great run-down on the race can be found here.

Yeesh, I get that the Third Way/DLC/centrist crowd loves nominating moderates in tough districts, but couldn't they have chosen a registered Democrat? The only possible Democratic contender not in favor of a public option on health care? A "Democrat" who is to the right of his Republican and Conservative opponents on gay rights? Unless this guy gets extraordinarily lucky, I don't see how Owens can win. And a lot of Democrats won't be sad to see his campaign go down in flames.
