I suppose technically and eventually, Huck may pay lip service to the conservative candidate, but according to this article, his people say he won’t give Hoffman access to his fundraising networks. Meanwhile Romney has declined to support him altogether.
IMO, both Romney and Huck are sniveling opportunists who care only about returning to power hand-in-hand with the establishment GOP—regardless of the consequences for conservatism and the country.
“conservative Club for Growth”
sounds like another corporate front trying to hijack conservatives.
I’m guessing Huck will support Hoffman. He’s supporting Rubio over the worthless Charlie Loafers
No more RINOS!!
If ever there was a time for Sarah Palin to swoop in, it is now.
nature abhors a vacuum and we have a vacuum in conservatism.
Trust me: Very Important People might make this The Mother Of All Showdowns with the RINO sellouts in the GOP Establishment. Lipstick, baby.Wonder if he knows something about the 'Cuda's intentions in this race? He's buds with Lynn Vincent, Palin's book collaborator.
Background: In a nutshell, the GOP candidate in this race is essentially an ACORN democrat. So in desperation, the NY Conservative Party has fielded Doug Hoffman, a third-party conservative candidate.
Hoffman looks like he actually has a shot at winning. Fred Thompson, the Club for Growth and the American Conservative Union have endorsed him.
On the other hand, Romney has refused to back Hoffman, and Huck may pay only lip service. Newt has endorsed the ACORN democrat running as a republican, and the RNC has sent her a bunch of money.
This race appears to be an important litmus test for all GOP candidates and power players.

At least Club for Growth is actually supporting the conservative candidate in this race — unlike the RNC, Romney, Gingrich, et al.
Newt endorsed Scuzzy. I think Boehner donated to Scuzzy.
So I think some parts of this is inaccurate
Hoffman is the only conservative in the race
Didn’t I hear that Gingrich supported the liberal GOP candidate as well?
We’ll see. According to this article, Huck may voice some support, but refuse to back it up with fundraising. If that happens, I will see it as Huck trying to have it both ways.
Didn’t Newt just endorse Scuzzy yesterday? This article was written the day before. I think it’s not inaccurate—leopards have just shown even more of their spots since it was written.
He sure did. So did Cantor, unfortunately.
Agreed. This may be just one race, but for me it’s a weathervane. I hope Palin jumps in.
I sure hope that happens. If Hoffman wins against these craven GOP establishment donkeys, it might put a well-needed scare into the whole GOP establishment.
Huck is a pretty shrewd guy. He knows which way the winds are blowing.
just a bit dated then
What kind of deal did they make with their friends the lefties?
