LOL, got 'em shaking in their boots, ol' serpent head freaking out!

From TPX:

Fantastic news! The liberal RINO in NY-23 has dropped out of the Special Election for Congress which sets up the likelihood of a great victory by Conservative Party candidate, Doug Hoffman.

The leaders of the Tea Party Express endorsed Hoffman, criticized the RINO Republican candidate, and advertised in support of Hoffman. Such actions irked some in the GOP establishment and even some squishy tea party activists with other groups who didn't like us backing Conservative Doug Hoffman.

Our response was, and has been: too bad. Our country got itself into the mess it did because we had a Congress comprised of liberal Democrats and RINO Republicans who went went along with out-of-control deficit spending, a growth in the size and intrusiveness of government and a loss in personal liberty - first under a Republican president, and now under liberal Democrat Barack Obama's administration.

Here's the ad we had produced in support of Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman. We congratulate you all on the first victory on the way to the 2010 elections!

Alright, that's the report on NY-23 for now. We're writing this update to you from the bus in the Tri-Cities area of Central Washington. We've had an incredible kickoff week for the Tea Party Express and are building more and more momentum.

P.S. We'll keep updating our trip reports on the Tea Party Express II rallies at our blog - including going back and adding more details, pictures and news accounts of the rallies that have taken place over the past 6 days: http://teapartyexpressblog.blogspot.com/

Tea Party Express Celebrates Withdrawal of Scozzafava from NY 23^rd Congressional race.

(ON THE ROAD FROM WASHINGTON STATE) -- GOP candidate Dede Scozzafava has dropped out of the New York 23rd Congressional race. The Tea Party Express had recently endorsed Conservative candidate Doug Hoffman, and supported his run for Congress with financial support and radio ad campaign.

“The GOP got this one wrong, plain and simple.” Said Mark Williams, Vice Chair of the Tea Party Express. “This new development shows that the Tea Party Movement is now coming into its own in terms of influence and relevance. We have said all along that our fight was over principles, not party affiliation. Conservative candidates like Hoffman have our support and we fully expect to see him take this congressional seat.”

The Tea Party Express is in the middle of its second national tour hosting Tea Party rallies across the country that encourage attendees to support conservative candidates for office.
