WATERTOWN, NY - After a hotly contested race in 23rd Congressional District last year, Republican Accountant, Doug Hoffman, announced Monday that he will again run for Congress. Hoffman, who owns thirteen businesses, made his candidacy known today in the form of a letter on his campaign Web site.

At least he’s from upstate NY, better than Clinton and Harold Ford....cheez.
With some lead time I suspect he’ll be a formidable candidate.
I hope so. He comes off as a nerd, but I’m on board!
Is he a decent, honest man who will uphold the Constitution? If so, he is what we need and want, I would think.
Certainly a safer bet than Brown in Mass.
Absolutely! Brown’s a dud. A needed dud at the time, but a dud nonetheless.
Brown was a matter of moving the ball inches. Hoffman could be a touchdown.
We tea partiers will get big wins, little wins, big losses and little losses but we have to keep pushing forward.
Did Hoffman move into the district yet?
Awesome news. Where’s the donation link?
When is the election?
Questions: (1) Will there be a challenger in Republican primary? (2) If he lost in the Republican primary against someone who is less conservative, will he run again as an independent?
