The GOP hope to convince conservative voters that a vote for Hoffman is a vote for the Democrats.

Yeah, sure thing...

[Carry_Okie]

Newt has jumped the Fonz.

[Paladin2]

"Gingrich called the Nov. 3 special election “an important test” for the party..."

What lesson will they learn when they lose?

[Paladin2]

Newt needs to go have another timeout on the bench with Pelosi.

"A vote for Hoffman is a vote for Democrats" Sorry, but that dog ain't gonna hunt no more...

Actually, a vote for Hoffman is a vote for conservatism.

[traderrob6]

“after a poll this week showed the GOP in danger of losing that House seat.”

Poll? What poll? I was under the impression that this was a very safe seat.

[maine-iac7]

He's right -
geeze, how many times must we repeat the Perot debacle that gave us Clinton = who won with, what, only 47% of the vote.

Nice to dream of a third party candidate - but it IS a vote taken away from our side and thus, given to the rats.

That's just math - and math don't lie.

“Scozzafava is “Our best chance to put responsible and principled leaders in Washington,” he said.”

Yes, Newt, but we want leaders who share our principles.

I think the Republicans haven’t woken up yet on how precarious their position is. They cannot win by alienating their base, as they’ve done. It won’t work.

We could accept some rinos in districts that would never elect a conservative - IF the party was committed to our values. If not, we don’t want to do it and the Republican Party leadership itself will continue to lose.

Given that they have yet to wake up, I see a second term for ObiOne with the Republican Party in the wilderness for at least 8 long years.

But they don’t get it.

I wonder if Gingrich will still support her when she loses and switches to the Democrat Party?

Vote for Hoffman is a vote on principles. It be a good thing methinks. Stop RINO’S wherever they are found.

[GeronL]

Newt needs to retire his mouth.

[personalaccts]

I’ve been cursed for the last few months on this site for saying Newt is a loser. I think he forgot 1994 was a conservative movement not a moderate one.

[GalaxieFiveHundred]

Gingrich Steps Up For GOP...

Well, good luck with that...

[EricT.]

Eff ewe, Newt.

You just want an (R) seat.
Conservatives want a Conservative seat, not another back-stabbing RINO like Specter, Collins, Snowe, etc.

Is the GOP really trying to run off every Conservative remaining in the country?

Please, send Hoffman a donation. I wish we would get behind him as strongly as we got behind Joe Wilson last month.

Markos Moulitsas, founder of The Daily Kos has endorsed Scozzafava. Dede Scozzafava has also been endorsed by NYSUT, the largest labor union in New York, and an affiliate of the National Education Association.

Scozzafava also holds these positions:

• Pro choice
• In favor of gay marriage
• In favor of Cap and Trade (I need to check my sources on this. Newt said she opposed this)
• In favor of Employee Free Choice Act (Card Check)
• In favor of the Stimulus
• In favor of Bank Bailouts

Scozzafava has also run in past elections on the Working Families Party (a progressive party associated with ACORN) line on the ballot.

This lady isn’t a RINO, she is a big “R” democRat.

There are also 17 RINOs in the house who have donated funds to this Liberal democRat's campaign. They include Boehner and Cantor. I don’t have a full list, but I will be looking for it. These RINOs should be targeted for elimination in the primaries next year.

Actually, a vote for Dede is a vote for the democrat ideology. So, their point is?

VOTE CONSERVATIVE!

[Dixie Yooper]

Sit back down Newt

[nhwingut]

I think even the KOS clown said her social views were “further left than most Democrats.”

[paulycy]

The GOP needs a long-term strategy that does NOT include electing left-of-center politicians to office.

Duh, Newt.

What has happened to you?

[cranked]

Significant /facepalm here.
