Gingrich endorses Hoffman Posted: October 31st, 2009 01:04 PM ET
From CNN Political Editor Mark Preston
WASHINGTON (CNN)– Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who came under fire from some conservatives for endorsing Dede Scozzafava in next week's special Congressional election in New York, is now backing Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman.
Gingrich made the announcement via Twitter shortly after the Republican Party nominee Scozzafava announced she was releasing supporters from their commitment to back her.
"Scozzafava dropping out leaves hoffman as only anti-tax anti-pelosi vote in ny 23 Every voter opposed to tax increases support doug hoffman," Gingrich wrote on Twitter. (Tweet shown as it appeared)

Ditto!!!
Michael Steele, what a disappointment. He has a tough job, being head of the RINO party. Could you imagine if the head of the GOP was Palin?
In comes this deaf, less than courageous linebacker with a flying tackle on to the top of the pile. The whole pile farts.
That linebacker? Newt Gingrich of course.
Yeah, imagine Newt as a presidential candidate , another wanabee like McCain, all hat and no cattle.
You bet I am laughing as hard as you are.
RINOplasty!
Its a beautiful thing.
Now Palin will be horribly attacked. We need to get ready to defend her, and support her with the necessary $$$.
Hey Newt-—who’s yo daddy now?
What the heck! Was he saying before she dropped out there were TWO who were anti-tax anti-pelosi and now that she dropped out I will go for the other one?
Newt, I used to think you were very intelligent. Guess I was wrong. I doubt very much that Scozzafava was anti-tax or anti-pelosi.
It certainly makes the point that Sarah is a true leader with vision.
If the GOP doesn't get it's sh!t together and start showing some conservative fervor politically, they are toast!
Principles before party.
are you feeling okay?
Newt is trying to get in before the zot!
Sarah was first, hee, hee!
The RHINOs and Republicrats will try to glom on to any new Conservative movement just as they’ve tried with the Tea Party movement.
Your pro-abortion principles come before your membership in the Conservative Party?
You're making even less sense now.
I stand corrected. 1994 seems like a lifetime ago.
Your a little late to the party Pal, you might as well stay home and be looking for wife 4 or is it 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sarah The Rino Slayer!
Let’s hope this isn’t the kiss of death for Hoffman’s campaign too.
Dig deep into their own pockets and pony up the cash for overnight mailings and canvass the entire district, especially those people that blindly vote for the candidate with the “R” because Scuzzifava will still be on the ballot.
Before she dropped out, between my husband and I who live in this district, we think we had gotten, personally, about 100 people to change their vote to Hoffman, about 25-50 more were “probables”, hope we've got them now. This was all from just word of mouth talking to people, and the convincing wasn't really hard when they learned where the candidates really stood.
It’s like I said before newt needs to be locked in the think tank room and only let out to eat pizza.
