NY-23: So, Is Hoffman Surging?

By
Friday, October 23, 2009 at 11:53 am

There’s a little dissonance in coverage of the NY-23 special election. Off the record, strategists claim that Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman is fighting it out for the lead with Democrat Bill Owens. But public polls still show Hoffman trailing. I double-checked with Markos Moulitsas on whether his Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll showed movement to Hoffman over any days of polling, reflecting the bad news for GOP candidate Dede Scozzafava.

“There really was not any major shift after each night among any of the candidates,” said Moulitsas. On the final days of polling, which happened after Scozzafava’s blunders, Owens was at 34 percent, Scozzafava was at 31 percent, and Hoffman was at 21 percent.

Meanwhile, confirming rumors from earlier today, the Hoffman campaign has released an endorsement from two-time presidential hopeful Steve Forbes, who has championed the flat tax that Hoffman supports.

“Like Doug Hoffman,” said Forbes, “I’m a lifelong Republican. But principles matter. The Republican nominee does not stand for the principles of our party, and I urge Republicans to give their support and their vote to the one candidate who does – Doug Hoffman.”

Wow citing the Daily Kos as a legitimate source of information is like asking Britney Spears for parenting tips. The Republican Party had better take heed of this. They need to ditch the Rhino's and liberals and move the party back to core principals of small government and lower taxes. If not this is going to be repeated across the Country. We cannot afford any more Spendocrats in office Red or Blue. Fiscally responsible candidates need to be put into office to stop the free fall of our economy and restore jobs.

Vote for Hoffman and send the right message to DC. In CA-10 David Harmer may also pull off and upset win.

Feel free to question the poll's methodology, or at least cite something that contradicts it.

They've already ditched the RINO's and liberals. That's why there's only forty Republicans in the Senate and about 40% in the House. Purity has a cost.

Why in the world would quoting DAILY KOS make this article credible?
Where is a media source we can REALLY trust?

And I would sure wonder why Obama has a 59% approval rating here considering the unemployment, the administrations total disregard for what WE THE PEOPLE are saying, not to mention the over rrunning of the White House with Czars of questionable goals and philosophies.

I will stick with Hoffman , thanks.
