Mr. Barclay was the most outspoken of the potential candidates during his brief flirtation with the seat, with Mr. Owens and Mr. Hoffman being his two main targets for criticism.
He also took issue with state Conservative Party leaders, who have pledged their line to Mr. Hoffman exclusively. Mr. Barclay asked Mr. Hoffman to vow not use the minor-party line if he did not prevail in the GOP primary, but Mr. Hoffman has refused to do so.
Mr. Barclay said he intends to meet with all Republican candidates and will consider endorsing and campaigning for one of them before the September primary. He reiterated Tuesday that he'll support whichever candidate Republican voters choose in the primary."
Slimy RINO Newt Gingrich will probably try to wreck NY-23 again with his pal Dede.
Stinking RINOs like Newt and McCain.
Barclay was a really bad choice. Doug Hoffman has his shortcomings, though. He didn’t live in the district until recently and he is not well-versed on local issues, which helped defeat him last time.
Bump for Hoffman!
