We need conservatives to challenge all of the RINO’s.
We need to pick the battles we can actually win. I believe Hoffman can win this race. I hope I am right. Even putting Scozzafava (Scuzzobama?) in third place would be worthwhile in this district.

But right now, immediately after this NY23 race, in the next 6 to 8 weeks, is the time that TEA Partiers and 9-12ers need to be finding their candidates for the Primaries next year. Cleaning up the Republican party is still a better approach than going third party. And the filing deadlines and petition requirements mean that candidates need to be selected very soon. Time is running out.
There will be a few districts like NY23, where they have historically elected conservatives by wide margins. If in those districts you have a situation where two conservatives split the vote in the primary, or open primary crossovers result in a less than conservative candidate for the Republicans, then, if there is a strong chance of victory, a third party conservative might be a good idea.
But mostly, third party candidates are going to lead to Democrats. That is what is happening in New Jersey for Governor.
