A: When it takes your the candidate that takes three tries to say this:
Update at 2:32 p.m.: Burns adds that Scozzafava would run in the Republican primary in 2010 if challenged. He declined to say whether or not Scozzafava was open to running as an independent if she lost the primary.
Can’t anybody play this game?
Bill Kristol has it exactly right:
Today, the Wall Street Journal has a story on the race with the headline Tea-Party Activists Complicate Republican Comeback Strategy. The truth is the opposite: The GOP establishment complicates the Republican and conservative comeback strategy.
The party is going to get exactly the result it deserves with this move and the biggest winner will be Obama.
Vote Hoffman!
One warning in the 2008 election I was 0 for everything! Even local elections and ballot questions. Lets hope the trend doesn’t continue.
Update: Via Michelle, Doug Hoffman addresses this directly:
On August 18 Scozzafava’s campaign called my signing of the Taxpayer Protection Pledge a “stunt”:
Matthew A. Burns, campaign spokesman for Republican candidate Dierdre K. Scozzafava, said Mr. Hoffman’s pledge was a “stunt,” and did not indicate if his candidate would sign.
On October 1 Scozzafava herself publicly promised not to sign the pledge:
Scozzafava said she won’t sign the pledge because the income tax is just one form of tax, and that more people could be impacted if, for example, you refuse to increase income taxes under any circumstances but raise other taxes or fees instead.
But after two weeks of conservatives and independents abandoning her in droves to support my campaign, she has had a foxhole conversion:
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Dede Scozzafava, a Republican running in New York’s 23rd Congressional district, recently signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge sponsored by Americans for Tax Reform (ATR).
I wouldn’t want to interrupt this show of steely principled resolve, but isn’t it slightly problematic to break a promise in the act of making another promise? Is there any lesson here except that Dede Scozzafava will say or sign whatever she thinks is mostly likely to get her elected?
I think the people are a lot smarter than the NRCC gives them credit for. I hope I’m right.

I suspect that the evangelical dominance in the Republican Party will result in the party being relegated to a third party. I wonder if we may see a shift from the two parties we have known? I have posted on this at http://euandus3.wordpress.com/2009/11/02/the-republican-party-writing-itself-into-a-corner/

As a person who is not an evangelical I see several problems with your idea.
First of all if you read this post you will know (or should know) that the primary object to Dede the angry was fiscal policy.
Secondly Since conservatives are 40% of the electorate a party supporting conservatives principles on fiscal and social issues are unlikely to turn into a 3rd party when they have 40% of the electorate.
Finally plenty of believing Catholics and non-evangelical Christians are forced by conscience to not support democrats as long as they continue to be attack the values of their religion. And we religious people tend to have more children and bring them up with our values. Demographics is destiny and the demographics favor well Christians.
