I just hope he can pull it out now that Scozzafava has thrown her support to the Democrat. It was close before she did that.
My take on here withdrawel and toss of support is this.
The GOP asked her to withdraw.
1. It prevented a head up loss to a Conservative
2. She tossed her support to the person who shared her views, the GOP couldn’t have thought she’d do otherwise
3. They hope to blame Hoffman for everything if he loses
4. They have their finger’s crossed that he will lose
The last thing the GOP leadership wants, is for Conservatism to appear to be viable electorally.
What is Pelosi talking about when she calls NY23 a victory? The Republican dropped out: The conservative had no idea how to run or win a race AND still came within 3 points. What type of victory is that? It sure isn’t a mandate.
