Conservative Party congressional candidate Doug Hoffman in upstate New York (the district borders Canada and Vermont) has less than 2 weeks to get out of 3rd place in the 3-candidate race.

He needs money and organization.

The Susan B. Anthony List organization, which backs pro-life women candidates, sent six staffers to help Hoffman in his race against Republican Dede Scozzafava and Democrat Bill Owens. It is spending $300,000 on his candidacy, the New York Daily News reported.

Within 24 hours of Sarah Palin’s announcement that she backs the conservative, Hoffman raised $116,000 online — $210,000 for the week.

Is there any way Hoffman can pull this out?

It is possible. It only takes a plurality and the turn out should be low and it is a conservative district.

These polls were taken over a week ago, there is no telling whats going on now. It has been a very very busy week for NY-23 hasn’t it?

The Battle of Tug Hill Plateau is just beginning.

The comments in the linked article are quite good.

Maybe one will be released on Monday. A “weekend” poll, heavy on libs.

[GeronL]

This is a good test case for what happens if the RINO’s really want to drop conservatism and principles.

There will be a lot of 3 way races if that happens.

But Sarah is irrelevant.

This is what Beck was talking about...we may have to take a couple of hits...but the RINO party has got to understand we will not....WILL NOT...vote for anyone who resembles the left ant mirrors their politics....Conservative lite...aint going to cut it anymore!!!!

STAND WITH ME!

[FreeAtlanta]

It could be the shot heard across the Country Club Republican nation.

[Texas4ever]

OR IS IT FOLLOW ME....I FORGET...ANYWAY...

DO BOTH

STAND AND FOLLOW ME!!!

CONSERVATIVES OR BUST!

THAT COULD BE A GOOD T-SHIRT...WRITTEN RIGHT ACROSS THE CHEST!

He also created an opening for his nemesis. And I don’t mean Glenn Beck.

Heh...!

[FreeAtlanta]

Unfortunately, the yellow dog Republican and Democraps are not typically technically savvy. It is going to take a face to face effort by conservatives to inform them and in a really short time. I know God’s will will be done either way, but I am hoping and praying for Doug’s win.

This just in from Hoffman’s Facebook & Twitter: Huckabee agrees with everything Hoffman believes but won’t endorse him. Profile in courage?

Dear Diary,,

I’m in a really sad place right now. It’s quickly becoming apparent that my pick for Gov of Virginia is a lost cause, so now I have to pretend to not have ever heard of him. Then that evil Sarah Palin woman rears her ugly head again. I wish everyone would just stop talking about her because she scares the buh-jeebus out of me! Next thing you know, all the network news media will be coming to the aid of that evil Fox News,, oh wait, too late (sigh…..).

Til next time Dear Diary,

I know God’s will will be done either way

God's will is for a pro-life candidate, it's up to us to do the will of the Father to support and vote for a pro life candidate.

Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life

Huckabee agrees with everything Hoffman believes but won’t endorse him. Profile in courage?

The Huckster bows to the RINO's wishes for their future support. That, in itself, exposes his 'claimed' Christian values. He's a 'INO'.

[jla]

Yes he can win! Recent revelations about Scuzzafava pinching donation cash will only help Hoffman. Gingrich, Sessions, Cantor et al refused to initially do the right thing, now, *if* they've any honor and character at all, they will renounce their endorsement of a charlatan and thief and support Hoffman.

[cradle of freedom]

It doesn’t even sound like Scuzzi is even conservative lite. It looks like she was just another political opportunist waiting for a chance to promote her political career a la Arlen Spector.

[GOPToad]

Absolutely Hoffman can pull this out. He’s in second place and the race is between him and the Dem. Hoffman now probably has the best organization. He has offices all over the place now and more and more volunteers. What he doesn’t have is enough cash. At least not yet. The labor unions are pouring money into this race and the RNC is making this a veritable Stalingrad — no price is too high to secure victory or at least to stop the conservatives. Any amount anyone can give Hoffman’s campaign is needed. This is history in the making.

Mark Steyn.
Mark proceeded to state that the female NY congressional Republican candidate, Dede Scozzafava, is past being a RINO. He declared that she is a DIABLO, (Democrat in all but label only)! I had never heard that one before and got a big kick out of it! I know that diablo means devil in Spanish, but I had never heard it used as that particular acronym. I suspect that she has plenty of DIABLO status Republicans for company, and that could be the problem with the Republican party.
