4 Comments I am told reliably, but have not yet confirmed, that Governor George Pataki endorsed Doug Hoffman tonight at a Conservative Party event.
As Matt Drudge would say: Developing . . .
If this is so, this is huge. Pataki routinely won NY-23 by huge margins. He remains quite popular up there.

I was celebrating the big win by the Yankees, hehe.
I know... I don't know what happened to Newt. He made a mistake and now he can't back down.
That really is hugh, not to mention series.
Pataki’s reputation as a ‘moderate’ Republican endorsing the Conservative will bring more people in for Hoffman.
Thank you.
NY23 has been conservative forever so I don't understand Newt's endorsement of an extreme liberal like Scozzafava. Newt dropped the ball big time. Let's see what happens on election day, but I sense that Hoffman is going to win.
Gotta go, poor people like me need to work for a living, lol.
Nighty night, and always fun chatting with ya.

Maybe he was overated? That Contract with America was a long time ago, and Frank Luntz claims his focus group polling was responsible for most of it, IIRC.
Buying into the man made global warming argument wasn't too smart. Pushing for electronic health records wasn't too smart either because it's a double edge sword. It's good for eliminating redundancy and having a complete medical history as well as avoiding medication errors, but there's too much personal information that can be accessed by folks with bad intentions.

Wow, it lasted long!
I had signed off and missed your post.
