SSP Daily Digest: 10/30
Swing State Project —
... : Under normal circumstances, I would have said that ex-Gov. George Pataki was breaking ranks by endorsing Conservative Party nominee Doug Hoffman over Republican DeDe Scozzafava, but considering that RNC Chair Michael Steele came out today tacitly cheering Hoffman on, it seems that the GOP establishment itself is leaving Scozzafava out in the cold. Democrats, meanwhile, have deployed ...
Polling and Political Wrap-Up, 10/30/09
Daily Kos —
... Wow. This is telling--in an interview with Politico today, RNC Chairman Michael Steele argued that if third-party insurgent candidate Doug Hoffman were to win on Tuesday, that would really be a victory for Republicans. His logic was that since Hoffman was once a Republican, there were really two Republicans running in the race. That, of course, stands in fairly strong contrast to ...

... Looks like that bandwagon is just about full up now : Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele said Friday that a victory by Doug Hoffman, the third-party candidate in the Nov. 3 New York special election, is a win for the GOP. The actual Republican nominee, Dede Scozzafava, trails Hoffman, the Conservative Party nominee, and Democrat Bill Owens by double-digits according to a recent poll. But Steele argued during an interview with POLITICO that the GOP doesn’t need to worry about Scozzafava’s lagging ratings because Hoffman is essentially a Republican. “You’ve ...
I Guess You Could Call This a Conservative Party Victory of Sorts -- By: Kathryn Jean Lopez
The Corner on National Review Online —
But it's a very odd thing, hearing the RNC chairman say this:
“You’ve got two Republicans running in that race. My upside is that one of them will likely win,” Steele said. “We want to be supporting the one that wins.”
“I don’t split the party into conservative or not,” he said. “I’m looking as the national chairman to walk out of there one way or the other with a win.”
Hoffman is actually not the Republican. He's running because the Republican is a bit of a disaster. That's a problem for Republicans. One the chairman probably ...
NY-23 Scozzafava Out, RNC And Newt Gingrich Back Hoffman
Dr. Melissa Clouthier —
Good morning! And a good morning it is.
DeDe Scozzafava stepped down, gracefully. She may endorse Hoffman soon.
The RNC endorsed Doug Hoffman, the Conservative candidate. Chairman Steele calls a “Hoffman win, a GOP win.” Is the NRCC far behind? Time will tell.
So did Newt Gingrich. Matt Lewis puts him in the loser category, but doesn’t think he’ll suffer long-term. I’m not so sure about that.
Now, Hoffman and the Democrat are in a dead heat. Hoffman should win. The area is a very ...

... herself). Ultimately, it was the leadership of the party itself that elected to turn their backs on her, with the chairman of the Republican Party, Michael Steele, saying yesterday that a victory by third-party insurgent candidate Doug Hoffman was just like a Republican victory to him. Indeed, when Scozzafava called it quits today, Steele jumped in with a promise to ...
