And the opportunity you see is what—strengthening the third-party movement, or convincing the Republican Establishment to suddenly turn right?
Doug Hoffman is a registered Republican. He is not part of a third-party movement.
The leadership of the Conservative Party NY do not consider themselves to be “3rd-party movement people.” They work intelligently, often cross-endorsing candidates, at times leaving their line empty, and in situations like NY23: running a superior candidate .... leaving the RINO in 3rd place where she belongs.
This is a wonderful development.
