From what we were able to see in Watertown, NY, the Scozzafava campaign is being driven by beltway Republican organizations.
Not only is the NRCC pumping hundreds of thousands of dollars into the media campaign of Dede Scozzafava, theyre also organizing and coordinating teams of GOTV volunteers in the district. And theyre picking up the tab.
Our team just finished meeting with a NRCC volunteer named James who works out of the Watertown office for the Scozzafava campaign. James informed us that he was sent to Watertown, NY from Washington D.C. as a volunteer for the NRCC. We asked about expenses, and he said the NRCC was paying for everything.
We had a great chat with James and learned that a good portion of the Scozzafava campaign volunteers were indeed brought in from outside of the district.
Ironically, James claimed a few minutes earlier that one of the reasons he was so passionate about the Scozzafava campaign is that Hoffman was receiving so much support from outside the district. Seems odd that in an individual from outside the district is complaining about help coming from outside the district.
At this point, there should be no doubt that the NRCC is going to do whatever they possibly can to help beat Doug Hoffman, the Conservative Candidate in the race.

I guess the ‘pubs don’t want this seat anyway.
I’d rather Owens win than scuzzy.
This begs the questions. Just exactly who is the Republican National Committee and what do they stand for? It looks like we are smoking them out. This race may be pivotal in many ways. I thought I was through sending money to Hoffman but I may have to make another contribution.

Does the GOP think they couldn’t sway Hoffman to join the GOP caucus rather than the ‘rats if he’s elected? What short sighted doofi.
I don’t think of it as pivotal. The RINOs only want us to think of it as pivotal if the democrat or the RINO wins. They want to be able to use this race to dictate the direction of the party and win or lose, we shouldn’t allow that to happen.
There have to be other districts where a conservative polity is being betrayed by chickensh*t republicans. District by district, it looks like a grass roots Conservative Party could evolve into a viable and influential caucus.
We don't need to swallow the camel--just elect enough Doug Hoffmans to smack down the arrogant and insolent beltway a-holes who think they can commandeer our votes and squander our hard earned money.

My rule of thumb regarding RINOs.
They’re lying, manipulative, bottom feeding scum. They’ll toss a race to a democrat if they think they can use fear to put a seat back in RINO hands at a later date.
Wait until the GOP calls here next time - they're going to get an ear-full. They are no better than the suggested democrat browncoats and ACORN volunteers. This tactic is revulsive. Is Newt going to give them a pep talk?
“It appears that the Hoffman campaign has turned over an exceedingly ugly rock...The national GOP is a turncoat operation, gone rogue”
I was thinking along the same lines and the Hoffman campaign is smoking them out as to who they really are. It may not be a pretty picture at all.
I can’t believe I just said those Repub *holes out loud. Just sent my Senate fund survey back with a note about Hoffman.
and these fools at the NRCC and the NRSC wonder why they get nothing from me or others when they call begging for money.

I have been really waiting for someone from the RNC, GOP, whichever group call so I can rip them a new one. Funny thing... havent had a call in quite awhile.??????
Big and established connection money versus small and non-loyal money. Who will win?
The NRCC are the same sleazeballs who stripped Michelle Bachman of money last year and called her race a lost cause. They did the same with my conservative congressman (Tim Walberg) and left him to lose by a whopping 2%.
Walberg is already campaigning again and building up a pretty good head of steam. As I and others have told our local GOP chairman, “Walberg is who we’re voting for, with or without your blessing.” He’s already picking up a pretty good string of endorsements from GOP officials in the district.
>>They want to be able to use this race to dictate the direction of the party and win or lose, we shouldnt allow that to happen.
I agree. They think that we’d rather elect socialist RINOs than fascist Democrats, because they believe those are the only two options. If we don’t draw this line in the sand and prove them wrong, our only choice in the future will be “how much marxism do we want, and how fast”.
I have always maintained that RINO’s and GOP establishment knew from the day that Palin resigned that they had to take her out before hitting the campaign trail to promote her book in the spring.
By moving up the book release to Nov 17th that threw their plans into a loop. Now with the Hoffman endorsement by Palin they are beside themselves and in a panic.
They know if Hoffman gets elected Palin will receive an enormous boost in her credibility and her road to POLITICAL LEGITIMACY. And that’s before the widely publicized Oprah interview on Nov. 16th.
They fear her potential momentum and well they should.
