If they put up another Scozzafava, he should run 3rd party. Public service is not an entitlement.

if the RNC does not understand and continues to push progressives, then there is no split... the RNC is just another name for the progressive party.

conservatives and tea party people would do well to avoid.

now... if the RNC gets a clue and starts to back conservative candidates, only then should they get the backing of the tea party nation*

*tea party nation - i like how that sounds

I’m sure the RINOs want to run Dede again! So what if she endorsed the Demagogue last time around??

</sarcasm>

let’s hope it’s sarcasm and nothing more.... the RINOs are looking for their Dede-clone as we speak

It’s nice to know the Ca GoP isn’t the only party stuck on stupid out there. You know what I mean. ;-)

Go Doug!

Have you ever seen the MSM use the term “Left” on coverage of Dem/lefty political stories?

A New York GOP operative advising one of the campaigns argued that Hoffman’s sudden rise was an anomaly and that he wouldn’t be able to capture lightning in a bottle twice. The operative predicted Hoffman won’t have a lifeline this time from the national conservative grass-roots movement.

Man, the GOP has pure crap for brains.

Actually, this reinforces what I have believed for a long time. The GOP will deliberately and willingly lose the general election with a RINO than let a conservative win it. The party elite holds conservatives in lower regard than they do liberal Democrats.

They are going to try and nuke Rubio in Florida. If they can't have Crist, they will endeavor to make Rubio unelectable.

I think the politico is trying to light a fire without a match. It was almost automatic for the Conservative Party to endorse the Republican before the Scuzzy debacle. I see no reason why it will not end up the same. I just received a note from Hoffman a few days ago saying he was going after the Republican nomination.

That’s a great observation there. No, I haven’t heard of such a thing, either.

I’m going to climb out on a limb and state here on FreeRepublic that if John McCain were to lose the primary to JD Hayworth, HE might go independent!

Some WashPost writer was wondering whether Crist would go indy the other day.

They can’t find a good consevative candidate who lives in the district?

Hoffman doesn’t seem like all that bad of guy, but I’m having a problem with the carpetbagger thing. It’s up to the NY-23 primary voters to decide for themselves though, and Mr. Hoffam should respect that outcome because it will be an entirely different situation than round one where there wasn’t a primary.

There's one sure-fire way to re-make the RNC.

Elect a conservative President. Fire the RINOs, let him (her)nominate the new leadership.

They can't.
Rubio has all the momentum right now.

Of course not. All Democrats are "moderates".

Of course he would. His hero is Teddy Roosevelt. He wouldn’t miss a chance to be the Bull Moose of his day.

Yeah, you mean leadership. Like we never got in 8 years from W. Uh, except when he tried to push amnesty through. You're right, we need a real conservative. One who will throw the RINOs out.

They may not be successful, but they will try.
