Hoffman is a conservative, and this is a district that has been held by Republicans for some time. Obama nominated the RINO who held that seat before to some post (a strategic play, perhaps), and now there is a fight to keep the district from going to the Democrats.
Scozzafava supports the stimulus, supports gay marriage and abortion rights, supports card check, supported the bank bailout, supports Cash for Clunkers ... etc. She also has a record of huge spending in NY, apparently. I mean, she spends a lot, even for NY. She voted to force NY state employees to pay union dues. She won't pledge to vote against increased taxes.
What's the point of labeling herself a Republican? She is basically a Democrat.
Normally, I would advocate fixing Republican Party ills via the primary process. Here, though, as Fred Thompson has ably pointed out, there have to be limits as to what qualifies as a Republican. Plus, Hoffman has a real chance to win this race. This is not like, say, voting for Nickie Goomba or Rhod for the seat (which is just as useful as voting for libertarian and Constitution Party types).
My bottom line: Hoffman can win, and he is the far superior candidate for conservatives.I donated at the National Republican Trust Site. This is a great outfit that does the heavy conservative lifting that RINO's (i.e., the McCain campaign) often will not do. They've got an ad they are running in NY-23 for Hoffman.
You can also donate here at Doug Hoffman's website.
Okay, get to it.

WAKE UP THE RINOs !!! Vote Hoffman...
Include me in. A victory sure would feel good right now.
This is almost our first opportunity to show that we are serious about wanting non-RINO conservatives. We are depending on the good people of NY to make the point for us. Please do it.
Scozzafava appears to be another of those from the "right-wing arm" of the progressive movement. She will NOT be good for America. I'm watching this race closely from my couch here in Florida, to ashamed of Grayson to show my face in public! Doug Hoffman will be a good choice, if for no other reason than he has no ties to anyone, and can provide the "outside world" with critical and truthful information from the "inside". Good luck, NY! Conservatives, get out therre and vote!!!
A vote for Doug Hoffman is a vote for racially charged fascism, a vote to force womyn to die the indignity of straight marriage, and everything else that is bad. Progressives for Scozzafava! Progressives for Scozzafava! O-ba-ma O-ba-ma! Mmm Mmm Mmm!
Candle, I see you working. You're on fire!
Hey Blind, no need for you (or any one else) to sit on the couch. Give some $, even a little bit. Let's put our money where our mouths are. This is how things change.
Whin-o's about Rin-o's ... there's the political party that many conservatives are de facto members of. Get up and do something. Be a part of the solution.
So, who's in?
Not sure if I mentioned here or not, I donated $50 to his campaign. Highly recommend everyone do it, its very easy, and worth it.
Fifty dollars??? Candle, you're certainly waxing with little wane on the horizon. I'll match your $50.
Now, we're talking. Hoping, you still on the couch? I can fire up my internets (both of them) on the couch, even here in the trailer park.
My lightning-fast insult response was almost triggered by Candle.
ack the comment on the Dude post was for u Nickie..sorry DC!..I need an email addy Nickie..heh
Rhod, luckily you're still able to flex that anti-insult muscle.
Woman, it's AmericanGoomba at gmail dot com
Rhod, awww! Too bad you figured Candle out so soon. He thrives on contrived aggression. Can't we just pretend for a moment?
Opie, I respond to aggression, contrived or not, with overwhelming peevishness and ill will. Once I've established a front, then I can be reasonable, even gallant.
Yes! Glad to see you guys on board with Hoffman. I've done everything that I could to spread the word too, even donated....
