Gingrich tweets Hoffman endorsement”

This is what you said, and I quote:
“After initially supporting democrat party mole Scuzzy, Newt then changed his support to Doug Hoffman, forcing Scuzzy out of the race””

You were trying to imply that Scozzafaza got out of the race because Newt Gingrich endorsed Hoffman.
That is patently false.
Gingrich only endorsed Hoffman after Scozzafava had ALREADY quit. Gingrich had absolutely nothing to do with Scozzafava quiting. Gingrich's "endorsement" is too little, too late. He has made himself irrelevant.

Thanks for proving our point.

You said in #5: "Anti-Newt sentiment has some definite democrat party disruptor troll component. After initially supporting democrat party mole Scuzzy, Newt then changed his support to Doug Hoffman, forcing Scuzzy out of the race."

The problem with that little bit of revisionist history is shown at the link you posted in #11:

"After learning his initial pick, Republican candidate Dede Scozzafava, had bowed out of the race, this morning, Gingrich tweeted that he was now supporting Hoffman, who is virtually tied with Democratic candidate Bill Owens in preliminary polls."

Or could you explain how Gingrich endorsing Hoffman AFTER Scuzzy dropped out of the race could be the thing that forced her to drop out, as you claimed in #5?

PS Hoffman is up by 17 points now. I guess in the SRM world that The Hill lives in, that's "virtually tied." (Not attributing this SRM spin to you, just pointing it out.)
