Steve Forbes joins the heard now streaming toward Hoffman:
Former presidential candidate Steve Forbes, chief executive officer of Forbes Inc., will endorse Doug Hoffman, the Conservative Party candidate in New York’s 23rd congressional district. A source close to the campaign tells NRO that “many more conservatives will be announcing their support in coming days.”
And I should note that Michelle Bachman actually expressed support for Hoffman a few hours before Palin, but did so when questioned rather than as a flat endorsement.
Minnesota’s always entertaining Michelle Bachman is already in Hoffman’s camp, telling radio show host Laura Ingraham that “Hoffman is on the ascendancy, and we have to win this seat. And people need to get behind the winning candidate, and it looks like that’s Hoffman.”
If the NRCC is smart they will make a deal with Dede and have her pull out, if they don’t they will be embarrassed no matter what happens, and they can’t afford to go after Palin who they will need in 2012.
Vote Hoffman.
