... If national media wasn’t following this race before, they will be tomorrow . It’s my honor to endorse Doug and to do what I can to help him win, including having my political action committee, SarahPAC, donate to his campaign the maximum contribution allowed by law. Our nation is at a crossroads, and this is once again a “time for choosing.” The federal government borrows, spends, and prints too much money, while our national debt hits a record high. Government is growing while the private sector is shrinking, and unemployment is on the rise. Doug Hoffman is committed to ...
On board: Palin endorses Hoffman
GOP 12 —
[image] Over the weekend, conservatives asked where Sarah Palin was on NY-23, and today, she answered : The ex-Governor is with Conservative Party candidate, Doug Hoffman. The politics is smart. She waited to pipe up until it was clear that a) it had become a national issue and b) conservatives were flocking to Hoffman. As I mentioned on Sunday, it was a can't miss opportunity for Palin . Gingrich was premature , Mike Huckabee demurred , and Palin picked the fruit. The Weekly Standard has her check mark: The people of the 23rd Congressional District of New York are ready to shake things up, and Doug ...

NY-23 Poll: Owens (D) +5

In a contentious three-way contest, Democrats currently have a slight edge as the Republican vote splits between the party's chosen candidate and a conservative alternative in a new Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll. Special Election Matchup Owens (D) 35 Scozzafava (R) 30 Hoffman (C) 23 Undecided 12 Looking at the party breakdown, Bill Owens has a solid lead among Democratic voters with 60 percent of the vote.

... site. Does that tell us anything about where both are coming from today, about which is actually more in step with today's culture and electorate? Don't know, but still find it interesting. In a way, it's not unlike their opposing arguments on how to foster a conservative resurgence. Newt comes across as the Party guy. Sarah, more from the ground up, or outside in.
But don't let me put words in their mouthes. You can read both of their reasonings at links.

Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler —
Just a quote that surely ought to stick in RINO Newt et al’s craws, but do go read the rest : Political parties must stand for something. When Republicans were in the wilderness in the late 1970s, Ronald Reagan knew that the doctrine of “blurring the lines” between parties was not an appropriate way to win elections. Unfortunately, the Republican Party today has decided to choose a candidate who more than blurs the lines, and there is no real difference between the Democrat and the Republican in this race. This is why Doug Hoffman is running on the Conservative Party’s ticket. ...

... other words, the third-party candidate Hoffman is referring to Republicans as "we" and calling himself the only true Republican in the race. In his mind, his candidacy is a road map for the Republican Party's success even though he is running outside of it. That is not to disparage third parties per se, but only to point out that Hoffman is not making a third-party statement here. And the same can be said of his superstar endorser, Sarah Palin. In her endorsement announcement, she said : Republicans and conservatives around the country are sending an important message to the ...

... following the Fort Hood shooting. Similarly, the fact that Gov. Palin persists in addressing such events as the shooting at Fort Hood and the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and that she was willing to take a stand amidst the chaos of the NY-23 special election, cannot be interpreted merely in terms of political calculation; this, too, speaks to her moral qualifications for leadership. Her statements give us indications as to whether she has the strength of character to lead without flinching from the task, and the wisdom to lead well; they also tell us much ...
