Charles Johnson has an interesting catch here: In August, when he was still the struggling Conservative Party candidate lagging behind in a three-way race, NY-23 frontrunner Doug Hoffman signed the 9-12 Candidates pledge, based on the values of Glenn Beck’s 9-12 Project.

The values themselves are not controversial, but this isn’t something many Republicans have been rushing to sign. Up to now, the most high-profile signatories were John Oxendine, a candidate for governor of Georgia, and Adam Kokesh, a libertarian anti-war activist who’s running for Congress as a Republican in New Mexico. Read the pledge below the jump.
