Now that the ethically dubious publication of some of his private emails has derailed Dave Weigel’s tenure at The Washington Post by raising questions about his ability to report effectively on the conservative movement, we thought it would be a good time to highlight just how effective Weigel can be.

The defeated Conservative candidate in NY-23 is, as expected (and as he would quietly inform people at CPAC), going for a rematch with Rep. Bill Owens (D-N.Y.). Hoffman, assured of the Conservative Party’s nomination, is gunning for the GOP and Independence Party nominations, too — both went to Dede More…
In his quick-turnaround book “Right Now,” Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele is notably less kind to former House candidate Dede Scozzafava than he was during the NY-23 special election. His post-election annoyance with the activists who forced Scozzafava out of the race doesn’t make it in. After the More…

HANNITY: Look, you supported [Conservative Party candidate] Doug Hoffman in the New York 23. And when you did that, though, it was a big jolt to his campaign. As a matter
So what is defeated Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman doing by casting doubt on the results of the NY-23 special election? The most obvious answer, suggested by that letter, is fundraising. It was an expensive race, and Hoffman put some of his own cash on the line, so More…
As the very, very small chance of a late upset vanishes in NY-23, Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman is lashing out and accusing “ACORN, the unions and the Democratic Party” of tampering with the election.
Hoffman’s getting some brushback from local Republicans. George Williams, chairman of the Oswego More…
There’s not much to report in the NY-23 absentee ballot count, where Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman continues to gain votes at a much, much slower rate than he needs to pull off the win. The Watertown Daily Times reports that Hoffman trailed Rep. Bill Owens (D-N.Y.) by More…
