I Am Endorsing Doug Hoffman

Updated 11/1 - The race has evolved into a contest between a conservative and a pro-Pelosi, tax increase, big government liberal Democrat.

This is both a tribute to the power of the national conservative movement to define an issue and a commentary on the populist anger against politics-as-usual.

The New York GOP has now had two troubled special elections and it is clear they should go to a primary nominating system so everyone will feel it was fair and open.

The age of party leaders picking people is over.

Scozzafava did the right thing in dropping out. I am, however, deeply dissapointed that she has chosen to back Owens over Hoffman.

I am endorsing Doug Hoffman and believe everyone who wants to create jobs with lower taxes and to control spending and deficits should vote for Doug Hoffman Tuesday.

Doug Hoffman should politely decline to accept Gingrich’s endorsement.

Close. Just substitute “too economically libertarian” and we’re there.

parsy, whose pathetic attempts at triangulation prove that not everyone from Arkansas is as politically savvy as James Carville

We should have closed Republican primaries. Rinos are the ones who got us to have open primaries so they could get around the party base.

I think you're absolutely right. We should make it an issue.

Bump that...the open primary in New Hampshire rekindled McCain's moribund campaign; where Democrats routinely cross over to pimp the weakest Republican candidate. They pull the same stunt in Vermont.
