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)

NEWT GINGRICH = MORON
What a fool!This guy has been loony for years pulling stunts for years
I give him credit for what he did years ago...
But he's a Beltway insider now.
Out of touch
Obsolete
We need a fresh face to put 0bama out of commission
Someone like Mitch Daniels
Someone young and fresh and who looks better than that ugly semi-Kenyan couple squatting in the White House

Gutless Huckabee and Romney can speak out. They see which way the wind is blowing now. We will never let Newt off the hook as he was against before he was for. I sent in a donation to Hoffman yesterday. You don't suppose that is what turned things around? LOL

Newt endorses Scozzafava,Hoffman, Newt!
To: BobL
Definitely pressure was put on Dede Scozzafava by Republican elders. But I give her credit for dropping out. She remains in the NY state legislature where she can do her lefty liberal lezbo thing I could care less
Let the chips fall where they may

Too late, Newt. You showed your true colours by putting your eggs in the RINO’s basket. You may have endeared yourself with RNC-types, but you lost the conservatives. Sucks to be you.

Tim Pawlenty ends up smelling like a rose in this whole affair.Since 0bama/Axelrod have made it so that Presidential elections are based on images....
Give me a Republican candidate who is
- young enough
- trim enough in good shape
- good looking family and wife
- good speaker without a teleprompter
That's how you beat 0bama because that is how he beat old man McCain

Yup, I agree with you....better late than never...maybe now Newt and Michael Steele and the GOP party will catch on....we desparately need as much support as we can get....
We want Conservatives...we don't want no Rinos...we don't want no tricky deceiving communists, we don't want no tricky deceiving socialists....we want freedom for the American people...we want our children and our grandchildren to live to have freedom of choice, just as our forefathers designed our country to be.
The revolution is gathering strength.

To: BobL
Put another way, if their anointed candidate gets whipped by an Independent, then any claim they have to represent the rank and file Republicans is invalid. Their candidate has already been defeated by an independent, by dropping out she conceded defeat. It is too late for the RINO POS to save it now.

Sounds like John Kasich....but he’s a little left for my tastes. How about Michelle Bachman?
