Mike Allen in Politico is saying this is foolish and a suicide mission but Joe is defending Hoffman and is pushing Hoffman over Dede. They even mentioned ACORN!
Allen is talking up Gingrich and Joe is slapping him down pointing out that the NRCC and Newt went after conservatives in 14. I didn’t know this. This is HUGE.
Of course they were able to lump Palin in with Thompson and Pawlenty so she would not have been the one in front.
When Pat is on I expect to hear more.
The worm has turned!
Hoffman has broken through the MSM this is big. The question is: Was I wrong about the MSN or did the Beck story and the Thompson ad force their hand, OR is the Beck 3rd party thing pushing it to show the 3rd party stuff.
Vote Hoffman
BTW all my Hoffman stuff is here
Update: Newsbusters enjoys Politico’s discomfort.
Well Tim Pawlenty has bravely ventured forth where Sarah Palin has already beaten the path:
I’m surprised he didn’t do this last week before Palin endorsed Hoffman. He would have gotten major buzz for his boldness in becoming the first likely Republican presidential candidate to buck the party in NY-23; as it is, he ends up a bit of an afterthought to Sarahcuda. This is his way, I guess, of serving notice to her, Romney, and Huckabee that no one’s going to out-“true conservative” him, no matter how devoutly religious they may be or how phenomenally well their book might sell.
Alas poor Romney to answer Allahpundit I knew him as a Rino well. Well maybe not a full blooded RINO more like Obama with no fixed conservative political beliefs. If the polls today are correct and Hoffman wins Mitt is going to feel out in the cold.
Poor Dede, well there is always the Margaret Sanger award to fall back on:
There’s nothing like a person with an Italian Catholic name that worships at the altar or Abortion.
Vote Hoffman
All morning Rush’s guest host (Mark Davis) has been telling us that Hoffman can’t win, it reached the point were it was just annoying to hear him.
Then this poll comes out:
A poll released today by the Club for Growth shows Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman surging into the lead in the special election in New York’s 23rd congressional district to replace John McHugh, the former congressman who recently became Secretary of the Army.
The poll of 300 likely voters, conducted October 24-25, 2009, shows Conservative Doug Hoffman at 31.3%, Democrat Bill Owens at 27.0%, Republican Dede Scozzafava at 19.7%, and 22% undecided. The poll’s margin of error is +/- 5.66%. No information was provided about any of the candidates prior to the ballot question.
Gee what significant event could have happened in the last few days that could cause this. If you look at the news you wouldn’t know.
Robert Stacy encourages caution:
Of course — grain-of-salt time. The most important thing in these numbers, however, is the indication that the liberal Republican Scozzafava has slipped into third place.
Remember that NY23 has consistently voted 2-to-1 for the conservative Republican Rep. John McHugh. So if GOP voters in the district perceive Scozzafava as a likely loser, you can expect a decisive shift toward Hoffman by Republican voters whose main concern is not to give Nancy Pelosi another Democratic vote.
Michelle mocks Newt more:
The spoiler in this race is ACORN-friendly, Big Labor-embracing, tax-and-spender Dede Scozzafava. There is nothing — nothing — “mooooderate” about he
Dump Dede just repeats the release, as does conservatives 4 Palin, Ed Morrissey puts it under too good to check:
If the reaction of the GOP base to Sarah Palin’s endorsement of Hoffman didn’t get the attention of party leadership, then the results surely will. Many conservatives wondered whether splitting the vote now would be worth it in order to position Hoffman against a weak Democratic re-election effort in 2010. This survey shows that the vote split here may be benefiting Hoffman rather than damaging him.
How do we know these number have meat, particularly the unfavorables for Dede? The DCCC is ATTACKING HOFFMAN.
I wonder how many republicans who were willing to believe the old Kos poll will try to discredit this one? Over to you Newt and NRCC
Vote Hoffman.
