An incredible host of conservative bloggers, ranging from Mark Tapscott at The Examiner, who is a member of the Freedom of Information Act Hall of Fame, to me and Brian Faughnan at respective blogs at the Washington Times, to the directors of Red State, to Breitbart's blog, to several at Red County, to a particularly well-researched one by Jim Geraghty at The Campaign Spot at NRO, .... has stepped forward in solidarity with John McCormack of the Weekly Standard to demand that New York congressional candidate Dede Scozzafava withdraw .....

The showdown is beginning. Will the RNC ever get it, though?
Does anyone know what Hoffman’s fund raising numbers are?
It’s the Bob Michel syndrome. They’d rather golf with the opposition.
Newt needs to shut up too. His support of her when he had a clear choice speaks volumes about the RNC.
The RNC did nothing to stop the permanent damage inflicted by Lowell Weicker in the Northeast.
It took conservatives to put Leiberman on the Democrat ballot to finally run him out of the Senate.

Information has not been forthcoming. I hope it’s because he’s short staffed. I sent him a donation and did not receive acknowledgment. I was rather surprised by the lack; however I do support him.
I agree. She is running falsly on the Republican ticket.
1. If Hoffman wins, they will quickly figure it out.
2. If the Dem wins, with the other two splitting a majority of the vote, they will figure out that the conservative base can no longer be depended upon to support their BS. Either way, they will start to try to appear more conservative.
The real question is: will conservatives once again allow themselves to be fooled by a bunch of posers, who will say anything to get elected, only to slide to the left once in office, or will we demand real change in the Republican party?
WITHDRAW!
The best scenario, of course, would be if she dropped out, voluntarily or otherwise. That seems unlikely at this point, though.
Yes. But they should blame themselves.
They will publicly blame Hoffman and plenty of their shills will be out their telling conservatives that we handed a seat to the Democrats. However, behind closed doors, at their strategy meetings, they will (unless they have their heads completely in the sand) be forced to analyze how they lost conservative support and what that loss of support bodes for their future.
They will make major attempts to try to bring conservatives into the fold. I think most conservatives will be reluctant to buy into their spin without positive results.
There simply must be more to the choice of that woman(?) than is apparent to us. On its face it’s inexplicable.
Today Rasmussen had a survey that said:
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 73% think Republicans in Congress have lost touch with GOP voters from throughout the nation. Twelve percent (12%) are undecided.
These numbers are basically unchanged from a survey in late April.
In all that time, the leadership has been trying to blame a subgroup in the GOP. Heck, it’s the Rino leadership that’s the minority.
Who knows what it’ll get to get them to realize we don’t want, can’t stomach, hate, refuse, spit upon and stomp on what they’re trying to sell? Maybe throwing the buggers under the bus and electing them out of office?
We keep ending up with losers like McCain, but when they get 45% of the vote, they think they're close and it just encourages them enough to keep putting up weak candidates.
The problem is even when we win, we lose. Look at Specter. Look at what's become of Lindsay Graham.
If they are conservative, we lose, whether we vote or not. The least we can do is make the margins so drastic that it will finally be a wake-up call that moderates and bi-partisanship is an abandonment of conservative principals and we won't support it.
Scozzafava is a candidacy that is dead on arrival.
The ALLEGED leaders need to acknowledge it and order their pet rino to step aside.
Another Harriet Miers déjà vu moment...hopefully.
Yeah, and then they try to take “credit” for the Tea Party Movement!..
