Thanks for the info from Club for Growth — just saw their ad and discovered that Hoffman is a Conservative REPUBLICAN that is supported by the Conservative Party. This is a special election with different rules then the regular election.

No wonder Fred Thompson and Dick Armey endorsed Hoffman along with others because he is a Republican and the woman is an idiot that is running. All beginning to make sense now. RNC should NOT be wasting donor dollars on this race IMHO.

It would have been nice in all of these threads I have read to discover that Hoffman was a Conservative Republican but that wasn’t the case until I saw Club for Growth. Now if Club for Growth is wrong that Hoffman is NOT a Conservative REPUBLICAN then I would expect a retraction.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty — a potential presidential candidate in 2012 — suggested Friday on ABC News that he’s strongly considering backing Hoffman, as well.

Cap & Tax Pawlenty's got his finger in the wind, eh?

I guess I should include that in my informational posts. He is running as the Conservative party candidate because Scozzafava has the Republican line, but he has stated that if elected, he will caucus with the Republicans.

The whole “a Republican must win to support Boehner for Speaker” line of reasoning is a smokescreen. First, there won’t be an election for speaker until after the 2010 elections. It is doubtful that Scozzafava will win a primary in this district. Second, even if there was an election for speaker, Hoffman would support the Republican over the Democrat.

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.
