He thought it over and changed his mind. Deal with it.

This sounds like Alaska reporting. From an earlier article by same reporter.

Mr. Hoffman acknowledged his continued bid has rankled some Republicans. He said Wednesday, “I never promised that I would support Dede Scozzafava.”

“I did indicate that I would be happy to support a conservative Republican candidate, especially if it wasn't me,” he said. “It never occurred to me that the party would pick the only liberal in the race.”

Mr. Ellis said the nine hopefuls seeking the Republican nomination were asked as a group if they would support whichever candidate emerged as the nominee. He did not recall Mr. Hoffman being questioned individually

This election is the perfect time to let the GOP know it is time to quit giving us RINOs. Risking one more democrat in congress won't matter a hill of beans in this election but could send a powerful message to everyone, blue dogs, GOP golf clubers, and the damn marxists that use our RINOs against us. blue dog democrat

Nice hit piece by the local paper. I especially like the non-partisan “Does this say anything about his character?” line at the end. Mr Hoffman sent a polite and supportive congratulations letter to Mrs S. The “journalist” interprets it as a sacred pledge of loyalty and uses it to impune the man’s character. Its idiotic but it must be the best you’ve got to bash him with. I won’t hold my breath for a similar piece pointing out the so called flaws of any other candidate in the race.

She has no redeeming qualities as a candidate whatsoever. She is unable to answer the most basic question: “Do you intend to switch parties once elected?”

Scozzafava is a democrat trying to get into power using republican money and the republican election machine. Scozzafava is living a lie.

Jeffords. Specter. Chafee. Snowe. Collins.
We won’t get fooled again.

Hoffman intends to lie his way to power.

How? It is normal for the loser to congratulate the winner and offer support.

This is far from breaking news. It is simply one candidate sending a gracious message to another. Releasing it now is just a cheap political play from the libs.

For you to characterize it as “Hoffman lying his way to power” is such an overreaction that not even a bad soap opera writer would do it. In addition, it convincingly demonstrates your lack of ability to understand practical elective politics.

Thanks for posting this ....

Due to your unwavering support of DIABLO’s - I sent Hoffman $50 this morning. Keep up the good work. At this rate he should have plenty of cash on hand for his 2010 re-election campaign.

:D

Perhaps Hoffman just changed his mind? It’s not like he sent this letter to Owens... Sheesh.

"Hi Dede, Congratulations and the best of luck in your candidacy. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. Doug."

What are you, illiterate? A congratulatory note is not an unbreakable covenantal pledge of undying support. He congratulated her and, as a fellow Republican, offered to help her. Later, upon reflection and probably additional information about her positions he realized what a bad choice she was.

It's not a sin to change your mind, especially as you become aware of new data. To insist that he has to stick to his 'pledge' no matter what is peurile. We can learn a lesson here to not easily pledge ourselves to major commitments without thoroughly investigating, but I don't think that extends to simple one-liner notes of congratulations and well-wishing.

It's called being gracious, not being FOR.

Hoffman intends to lie his way to power.

So when'd you become so enamoured of a ACORN-supported uberliberal wearing an (R) label, that you would help participate in an unfair smear?
