NY-23: Hoffman Calls on Scozzafava to Leave the Race (conservative asks GOP leftist to quit)

[UPDATE: An earlier version of this post mis-stated the title of Doug Hoffman's spokesman, Rob Ryan.]
The campaign of Doug Hoffman, the Conservative Partys candidate in New Yorks 23rd Congressional District, is clearly enjoying the bar fight between The Weekly Standard and GOP candidate Dede Scozzafava. After seeing that Scozzafavas campaign released private emails between a spokesman and the Standards reporter John McCormick, a Hoffman spokesman called on the troubled Republican candidate to hang it up.
Its obvious that with every passing day and with every drop in the polls, Dede Scozzafava is becoming more desperate, said Hoffmans senior communications adviser Rob Ryan. The best thing she can do for her own career and for the Republican Party is to drop out of this race.
Ryan was flabbergasted by the news that Scozzafava called police to question McCormack after the reporter followed her and asked her tough questions. John was on the trail with Doug today, said Ryan. From everything I hear, hes the most mild-mannered guy around. If any police investigation needs to take place, it should be of Dede Scozzafava, for impersonating a Republican.

Whats so crazy about this story is that the Weakly Standard is no real conservative magazine. If you have Fred Roberts and Bill Kristol as your “editors”....you are not a conservative publication.
This Schizzo woman went nuts over a reporter from a fellow RINO (the publication, at least). Shows how very liberal she is.

In favor of Cap and Trade (I need to check my sources on this. Newt said she opposed this)Newt hasn't particularly been a friend of conservatives for some time. I take what he says with a very small grain of salt.

The Conservative Party in Erie County NY almost always swings with the Dems.
I don't know whats going on in that district but they are not Conservative in the Western NY area. A look at who they have endorsed over here would convince you

Now, THAT’S the way a campaign should be run!!
Direct, to the point, blunt, tell the opponent she should drop out.....of course this Dede character makes it easy.

I have lost all respect for Newt over this.
He supports this liberal witch and he thinks he has a future as a possible Presidential candidate?
Hell no! I would vote for the Huckster or Romney over him now.
He is dead to me. :0) Politically that is.

We should also call on Sean Hannity to BAN Newt Gingrich from his program until he apologizes for endorsing Scuzzifavabeans and calling her “the future of the party”.
