Fitzpatrick will probably be the GOP “approved” candidate, for better or worse.

Is Fitzpatrick "worthy" of getting a "Freeper Endorsed" rating?

That's a tough call. Fitzpatrick, because of his name recognition, probably has the best chance of winning the primary and then kicking Mini-Murtha out the door. But his voting record is not the best you could hope for. He's a Catholic, and presumably pro-life, but there's no mention of that issue on his website (at least that I've found). That also applies to Jones. Both Carlineo and Hoffman claim to be pro-life, but they have stated a willingness to let Roe v. Wade stand. That's the same attitude that so many FReepers found objectionable with Scott Brown.

All four seem to be fiscally conservative. In my opinion, that's the most pressing issue right now, as the RATS continue to run wild with money yet to be printed.

If the primary was today, I would vote for Hoffman.
