A: The democrats have decided that Doug Hoffman is scary.
There is a method to this madness. Hoffman has not won the election yet. Expect a full-out media blitz by the Democrats in the last three days of the campaign to portray Hoffman as the reincarnation of Timothy McVeigh.
And of course now that Newt has come out for Hoffman his prospects for extra appearances on MSM shows are shot.
To explain why this is so all you have to do is look at the White House and Olympia Snowe and the MSM.
Of course most people understand the basic fact that whenever Dede Scozzafava votes with the democrats that will free one Blue Dog vote to help protect their re-election chances. That’s the thing everyone notices, but what is everyone missing.
The moment Dede votes with Pelosi that bill becomes “bi-partisan” by definition. The fact that it is only one republican will make no difference, the MSM will trumpet it as “bi-partisan”. When ABCCBSNBCCNNMSNBCBET wants to talk to a republican on an issue SHE will be the one they call. She will become the face of the republican party that will be pushed and lionized. She will be the reason why “conservatives need to back off”.
The reality of all of these things will not matter, the media will push them as if it was true. If you don’t believe me look at how they treat Olympia Snowe, Look how they treated Chuck Hagel, Look how they treated Chris Shays and of course look at how they treated McCain when he wasn’t running for president. Republicans who attack republican positions are always welcome in the limelight.
And even better they don’t have to have actual conservatives on, they already have a republican to talk to.
This is the trap that the NRCC is falling into. If we fall for it we have nobody to blame but ourselves.
He IS the party chairman. Rightly or wrongly Dede IS the party candidate, even if everyone else supports Hoffman (even if HE supports Hoffman) he can’t publicly not support Scozzafava. Morning Joe may bait him but that’s the way it has to be.
Now he can decides how resources are spent to support her and can try to talk her out of the race or offer her a carrot to leave, but he can’t do any of that publicly. I think in reality he doesn’t mind the Hoffman Miracle too much.
BTW: As party chairman he is the ONLY republican who gets this pass from me.
Now in fairness he did have him on the Radio before but he had delayed his TV appearance last week and in that time Sarah Palin jumped in the breech.
We’ll take it and Hoffman will take it, the MSM still refuses to report any of it but perhaps Beck’s TV story might force them to do something…
…I think not, they see what is coming and want to delay the point of entry as soon as possible, particularly since the Hoffman win (assuming it holds after all a week is forever in politics) is going to make a ton of trouble for the health care nonsense. It will show the bluedogs the cost of their votes.
Ironically it might actually deter them to the point where they can save their seats, but it it gets them voting the right way on issues, that’s the whole point isn’t it.
People forget this isn’t a game to see what color a map is, this is reality, governing, and the decisions and laws made are the ones we as individuals have to live by, and be aware the laws WILL BE ENFORCED ON US.
Anyways here is the Beck Video:
The bad news for a certain reporter friend of mine is he is getting scooped a bit these days the good news is that it means more people are paying attention to what is going down.
