This is a great day! New York State’s first 9/12 Candidate has already been attracting attention, and this announcement is the result of him attracting our attention.
Aaron Blake, a contributor for “The Hill” recently wrote: Conservative Party nominee Doug Hoffman is beginning to look like he might be a force in the upcoming New York special election.
DeRoy Murdock of the “Washington Times” had this to say: Appropriately for a Lake Placid resident, Mr. Hoffman is rather low-key and soft-spoken. However, his voice urgently rises when he addresses the ways in which Washington pins down so many of his clients.
In a recent article in “The Weekly Standard” the magazine chronicles how Doug came to be involved in politics: Something happened to Hoffman as he watched the special election in the neighboring 20th District. To Hoffman, the performance of the candidates perfectly exemplified the failure of national business and political leadership in America. So when Republican chairmen announced they would select someone to run for the McHugh seat, Hoffman declared his candidacy. “If ever there was a time when we need people in Congress who can read a balance sheet, it is now,” says Hoffman. The article continues to illustrate how the GOP nomination fell to someone else.
It seems this third party candidate is being billed as a force to be reckoned with in upstate New York. Now Mr. Hoffman has chosen to stand on the firm footing of these basic American principles and values. 912Candidates.org is pleased to announce that Mr. Hoffman is now a 9/12 Candidate.

May 400 more follow him to be candidates for Congress.
I am sure several new conservatives will be elected in PA next year ... PA is a hotbed.
I live right outside this district and now I wish I lived inside it, because Doug Hoffman is going to need help. The first poll has been released and has him at 19%. Dede the socialist is at 30% and the dem is at 20%. It is a conservative leaning district and Hoffman is the best fit. Just think how great it would be to have an Independent Conservative in the Congress, no party to deal with.
