This is a perfect chance to teach the GOP a lesson. Why not let the dem win? It is only one seat and maybe the GOP will get the message. Conservatives will win the seat back next year anyway.

Yes, it is. I still think a Conservative victory is actually possible here. We should be playing for the win. If that doesn’t happen, having a conservative that beats the libeRal DIABLO candidate that the R’s are running would send a strong message.

I would be surprised if Pawlenty made an endorsement in this race. I am sure he is being pressured by the Republican leadership to endorse Scozzafava, but it sounds like he won’t do that. Endorsing Hoffman is a very risky move for someone who is an elected Republican official. I don’t see Pawlenty taking that risk.

Really, these endorsements are getting silly. Hoffman needs to be focusing in his district. An endorsement from John McHugh (the congressman this district elected last year) is the only one he should be pursuing actively. These others might help with grass roots fundraising from all over the country, but I doubt they have too much effect in the district itself.

Has everyone seen this: “The Most Important Number in Politics Today.”

Doug Hoffman is the Conservative alternative in this race (or Hoffman by PayPal).

Markos Moulitsas, founder of The Daily Kos has endorsed Scozzafava. Dede Scozzafava has also been endorsed by NYSUT, the largest labor union in New York, and an affiliate of the National Education Association.

Scozzafava also holds these positions:

• Pro choice
• In favor of gay marriage
• In favor of Employee Free Choice Act (and has said she would co-sponsor Card Check legislation)
• In favor of the Stimulus
• In favor of Bank Bailouts

Scozzafava has also run in past elections on the Working Families Party (a progressive party associated with ACORN) line on the ballot.

This lady isn’t a RINO, she is a big “R” libeRal democRat. Mark Steyn has coined the term DIABLO for her and others like her. Democrat In All But Label Only.

There are also at least 17 unprincipled DIABLO enablers in the house who have donated funds or otherwise supported to this LibeRal democRat's DIABLO’s campaign. They include Boehner, Cantor, Sessions, Hensarling, Brown-Waite and McCotter. I don’t have a full list, but I will be looking for it. These unprincipled enablers should be targeted for elimination in the primaries next year.

Also, perhaps those of us who donated to the RNC or RCCC should ask for our money back so we can support the conservative candidates of our choice.

I support Doug Hoffman for Congress (PayPal). Please, spread the word about this important election on November 3, 2009 in New York’s 23rd congressional district.

Thanks for the ping. If you’ve started a list, please make sure I’m on it. I really think we can win this one and slap the GOP back into the real world.
