THE WEEKLY STANDARD just received a statement from Sarah Palin endorsing conservative Doug Hoffman for Congress:
The people of the 23rd Congressional District of New York are ready to shake things up, and Doug Hoffman is coming on strong as Election Day approaches! He needs our help now.
The votes of every member of Congress affect every American, so it's important for all of us to pay attention to this important Congressional campaign in upstate New York. I am very pleased to announce my support for Doug Hoffman in his fight to be the next Representative from New York's 23rd Congressional district. It's my honor to endorse Doug and to do what I can to help him win, including having my political action committee, SarahPAC, donate to his campaign the maximum contribution allowed by law.
Our nation is at a crossroads, and this is once again a "time for choosing."
The federal government borrows, spends, and prints too much money, while our national debt hits a record high. Government is growing while the private sector is shrinking, and unemployment is on the rise. Doug Hoffman is committed to ending the reckless spending in Washington, D.C. and the massive increase in the size and scope of the federal government. He is also fully committed to supporting our men and women in uniform as they seek to honorably complete their missions overseas.
And best of all, Doug Hoffman has not been anointed by any political machine.
Doug Hoffman stands for the principles that all Republicans should share: smaller government, lower taxes, strong national defense, and a commitment to individual liberty.
Political parties must stand for something. When Republicans were in the wilderness in the late 1970s, Ronald Reagan knew that the doctrine of "blurring the lines" between parties was not an appropriate way to win elections. Unfortunately, the Republican Party today has decided to choose a candidate that more than blurs the lines, and there is no real difference between the Democrat and the Republican in this race. This is why Doug Hoffman is running on the Conservative Party's ticket.
Republicans and conservatives around the country are sending an important message to the Republican establishment in their outstanding grassroots support for Doug Hoffman: no more politics as usual.
You can help Doug by visiting his official website below and joining me in supporting his campaign:

This statement will be on Palin's Facebook page soon.
My concern is will America be too deep into the abyss of communism that no one will be able to fix the mess....assuming we have another election.
I hope everyone tries to donate something, even if it’s only 5-10.00. It adds up. I just donated, so did my wife.
The Republican party in Massachusetts never stood up for anything and was always following along behind the Democrats saying they wouldn’t of quite spent so much, taxed quite as much, regulated as much and now the Mass GOP is extinct, because who needs a fake Democrat party when you can go with the real thing.
It was suicidal to stand up to the Dems when your own party members were stabbing you in the back and saying that you will only get them mad at us and they won’t give us free calendars and a parking slot.
It is my understanding that Mittens and the Huckster bailed on this race.
They didn’t want to take a stand. That opened up a huge hole for Sarah to drive through with national movement conservatives.
Best,
Chris
A conservative district I hope?
“Newt has run to the front of a movement and declared himself leader once too many times.”

Ouch!! That will leave a mark!
Every word, every single word, of her statement has the solid ring of truth.
I just made a modest contribution. We must support such people even though they may not be in our home states.
Face it, once they choose someone, that's it. My conservative primary picks never get the nod, and many times there isn't even a true conservative running in the primaries to begin with.
I changed to Independent. At some point something has got to give, and all of us being too afraid to leave the party has gotten us nowhere. As it stands, they don't care what you think. They will give you the candidates that they like, and you'll have no choice but to once again "vote for the lesser of two evils".
Downright mavricky.
Hoffman is a conservative Republican.
He said he will caucus with the Republicans.
The Conservative Party in NY is
Conservative Republican not one of the wing nut groups
that seem to reek up FR
Thank you Blennos!
I am really pushing to see this man come over the top!!!!!!!
Thanks.
Sarah Palin is our best candidate to take down BOTH the liberal RINOs and the marxist communists. The other lower tier candidates such as Hunter, after getting 1-2% in ‘08 primaries, simply have no earthly chance and is wasting our resources if they decide to run again.
Support whoever you want, cupcake.
Right now the party will need my vote to help Marco Rubio beat Charlie Crist for Senator. That is, if they don’t bungle it up.
The RINO running on the GOP ticket is further left than all the Blue Dog Dems, and most Democrats. And people wonder why the GOP got hammered in ‘06 and ‘08.
Doesn’t surprise me Palin is supporting Hoffman. No more parties, vote for the best man or woman for the job.
I’m almost glad I have tomorrow off just so I can watch the sh!t hit the fan from this.
This race is an anomaly and can’t be a norm in other states.
Hoffman is a Republican and will caucus with them as he said.
also the conservative Party in NY which is Conservative Republican has been established for many decades.
The other third parties are wing nuts and only insure a democrat victory. One reason Frankin is now Sen. in Minn.
