Wow!! Someone that figured out life is not about him/her. He did the right thing by dropping out and giving a good candidate a chance.

This is indeed great news. While I supported the more conservative Hoffman over Doheny in the GOP primary, Doheny is an acceptable candidate who won the primary fair and square, and all that Hoffman could have accomplished by staying on the ballot as the Conservative Party nominee was splitting the conservative vote and throwing the election to the RAT Owens.

I recall that in order for Lazio to be able to drop out of the governor’s race (after having received the Conservative Party nomination) he had to either move out of state or be nominated for a judgeship. Does NY have the same rule for names on the ballot for congressional races? If so, Hoffman would either have to receive a nomination for a judgeship (despite being an accountant, not a lawyer) or else move several hundred miles away from his home in Lake Placid (or move just a few miles north to Canada, which obviously would not be so easy to do legally).
