Smart man. He wants further employment.
Best,
Chris
Right on, right on...
Just another political HACK looking out for number 1. He does not give a wit about Hoffman, he just cares about a future GOP paycheck at our expense.

Come to think of it, that describes Scuzzy’s favorite supporter Neut Gingrich as well.
Newt wants (R)s in charge not because he has republican principles, but because he has republican CONNECTIONS. Follow the money.
I agree that the party needs to find someone to fit their districts, because after all, it is the local population who will provide the votes. However, in this case, Scuzy is obviously more liberal than the districts, so that’s a problem.
I guess if you are liberal and you seem someone who is left wing but “fiscally responsible” that makes them a moderate. Wrong.
Fine. We see that too. If a moderate Republican wins a seat from a San Francisco or a Boston district, I'll be thrilled.
But Scuzzy was neither moderate nor conservative. She was a liberal Democrat using Republican money to win power. Nor is upstate NY 'moderate' territory. Upstate NY is as conservative as rural Indiana. She was hand-picked by Rockefeller Republicans who have lost touch and need to be replaced immediately.
Yes, good for him. Maybe he would like to run for Dede’s seat?
that the party needs to find candidates that fit their districts. Burns: "Otherwise, it's going to be tough to take back the House."
If she fit the district why was the independent conservative cleaning her clock?
Thats my feeling too. Scozzyfava is nothing but a plain old liberal. Nothing moderate about her.
Must be some interesting folks up that way! :) Let’s hope whatever they’re having, gets served soon in the rest of the nation.
He sounds like a practical, down-to-earth pub who wants to win without sacrificing the major party platform positions.
Good.
Scuzzy is finished. She needs to join the rats or go bake cookies.
“If a moderate Republican wins a seat from a San Francisco or a Boston district, I’ll be thrilled.”
I agree with your observation. I will support the conservative in the primaries but if the district elects a moderate Republican so be it.
I think the campaign manager’s actions are entirely honorable - certainly more than Dede’s and Owens’.
Scozzafava’s decision to encourage support for the Democrat candidate is the clearest possible reason why we must redouble our efforts to smoke out RINOs and encourage them to leave the party.
Either that, or we should encourage a wholesale movement to the Conservative Party, possibly with a merger with the Constitution Party and leave the Republican Party an empty husk, as devoid of voters as it is the principles it has abandoned.
RINOs and Republican fatcats seem to enjoy their cynical schmoozing with their leftist counterparts. Their weary, friendly, fraternal “we are all men/women of the world and above the common herd” attitudes are carefully cultivated to mark them as members of the powered elite.
TO HELL WITH THAT!
If Ronnie were alive today, I am sure that he would be saying the same things Sarah is saying, and that one or the other would be frog marching Newt behind the woodshed for some well earned chastisement.
A party is a vehicle for the ideals it represents. If it no longer represents those ideals, the time is ripe for the creation of another party that does.
Eagerly awaiting Tuesday night to read the final chapter of this drama. Will be camped out in front of the TV watching, while running back and forth to computer for Free Republic.
This gets better and better all the time
He knows that the survival of our Nation is at stake. These are truly perilous times. Hopefully many wake up to this fact.
