But some of Hoffman's supporters are heartbroken that Sarah -- whom I dubbed the "Sweetheart of the Heartland" last year -- hasn't joined the fight against Dede Scozzafava...

Has anyone directly asked her or contacted her or they all assuming she knows she is needed? This is kind of like asking the girl to the middle school dance, all the guys waiting around for the girl to give a hint or make a move instead of just coming out and asking.

I do not know for sure but I assume she knows. Stacy McCain has a pipeline to her and so do Fred and Jeri Thompson from what I can gather.

The key is whether Hoffman even wants her there. Who knows on that.
