I think Newt is taking the stance that he must take. Palin taking hers. If Hoffman wins, it sends a huge message to Newt and the others, that you better not put our party in the position of fielding liberal candidates.
I hope he wins. I wish we had some accurate polling thought. That idiot who took Rush’s place yesterday says that Hoffman is ten points down with NO CHANCE. NADA of winning.
“I think Newt is taking the stance that he must take.”
WHY must he take that stance?
I hope Hoffman wins, too. I think the RINO’s need to be aware that conservatives can tell the difference. I can’t imagine just voting ‘the party’ when ‘the party’ has failed us so drastically.
The ‘old boy’ network in the GOP needs to retire if they want ‘the party’ to survive. I will vote ‘the man/woman’ every time regardless of ‘party’ affiliation.
In Texas, I can’t vote for either Kay or Rick. They are absolutely worthless.
That fool was apparently basing his opinion on an October 15 poll by Daily Kos that preceded the heavy run of endorsements for Hoffman. However, he didn't even give his listeners the courtesy of the date of the poll or what there might be in the way of later polls, which seem to be running strongly in Hoffman's direcdtion. See:

This was inexcusable since “Real Clear Politics” reported the first of the two pro-Hoffman polls at 12:30 p.m. EDT yesterday, see:

Rush should never again have that dingelberry on, especially because the creep was trying to nudge conservatives into supporting Scozzafava.
Anyone here who hasn't contributed to Hoffman ought to, RIGHT NOW!!
