Poor Dede Scozzafava. She's going to finish third in that special election.

Hoffman, despite being relatively unknowledgeable about local issues, will probably squeak by Bill Owens. There's a divisive ideologue headed to congress!

And who was the first national figure to throw her weight behind Hoffman?

Yup. Sarah Palin. Would this race have been turned upside down had she not butted in? I think not. Gotta give credit where credit is due. Move over Newt, Sarah's becoming the leader of the GOP!

New poll - not a Zogby

Why not commission a study to find out how to fix things instead of commissioning a poll about who people blame? How the fuck is that constructive?

Newt is getting torn up by the commentors on his blog:

Oh...So NOW you're backing Doug Hoffman!! I get it! Now that you're fellow Rhino LIB has backed out and thrown her support to the other LIB in the race Mr. Owens, NOW YOU'RE backing Doug Hoffman???? After you trashed Sarah Palin for doing it out of the box??? You're a disgrace Newt!! A real disgrace to Georgia and the Conservative movement. Adios to 2012!! Go Sarah!!!

Mr. Gingrich I was highly disappointed to see you throw your support to the RINO in NY-23. She drops out, strongly supports the Democrat, and now all of a sudden you like Hoffman. I have always trusted you sir, this is the one error in judgement you get in my book. Either the Republican Party of which I am proud to be a member fix itself and come back to the Center...or we abandon it and take the country back ourselves. Same goes for Mr. Steele and the rest who think they need to "transform" instead of sticking to principals.

Newt needs to get a real job. Scewed up this one by pretending to be a conservative and hiring people to call us regularly and ask for money. Not working for the RNC or for Newt any longer.

Just to make sure does supporting gay marriage and being pro-choice make a Republican a 'RINO'? Is George Will a 'RINO' for advocating all troops removed from Afghanistan? Just how strict does one have to adhere to a rigid ideology before you are branded with a scarlet R?

Is George LeMieux a 'RINO' fro supporting the Franken amendment to the defense bill that defunds companies that don't allow rape victims their day in court?

Is Bill Frist a 'RINO' for supporting a public option?

Just asking...

I hope someone's making a documentary about this race. Scozzafava is rallying her diminished troops against Hoffman. She and her hubby are extremely bitter.

Wen you couple Hoffman's brutal treatment of Scozzafava with his rantings against Nancy Pelosi, one may assume that Hoffman has a general paranoia regarding powerful women. He reminds me of a sexist Humphrey Bogart from The Caine Mutiny.

Any Republican who says anything negative about a woman will now be accused of having "general paranoia regarding powerful women"?

How pathetic must Scozz and Pelosi be that you are reduced to making such a weak accusation to silence any criticism of them?

Going by the Botox damage, I'd say PELOSI is the one 'scarred for life'.

It's like that Hoffman douche who doesn't even live in the Congressional district he's running for whining about Dede's "betrayal" when he went against the Republican party to begin with by running in spite of her having actually been chosen by local party officials.

Because the Republicans are supposed to represent conservative values.... but they haven't been doing a very good job for the last decade or so.

I understand that, I wish someone was there to represent liberal values as well. As it is, we have two parties representing corporate values. We wont pass healthcare unless the insurance companies can still make a profit. We wont fight a war unless defense contractors can make a profit. Not everything should be measured by its affect to a corporate bottom line.

Newt Gingrich is the second most repulsive politician in Georgia.

By conservative values do you mean they are Creationists like Sarah Palin? If you believe in evolution or disagree with teacher lead prayer in schools does that make you a RINO?

Just curious what conserative values are because I don't see Bill Casey being called a 'DINO' because he's anti-abortion and pro-gun.

Evolution is ridiculous.

I seriously suggest that any lib who wants to better themselves pick up a good book, The good book, and correct their erroneous thought processes. There's never been any proof of evolution.

It's just like the situation with global warming. It's pretty clear to anyone not trying to sell me a hybrid that it's been colder than heck this year, frankly. And when you consider these things, you have to start with what's right in front of you. I don't see any talking monkies, or walking fish, and I sure as heck don't see any rising temperature averages. The like one site my daughter showed me about this when I had to explain how the left wing industrial complex works was maintained by people working for some environmental group. Consider the source!

The New York GOP must be trying to make themselves as irrelevant as the Illinois GOP, courtesy of people like Judy Barr Topinka that support Democrats just to further their own political careers and pull Senate candidates like Keyes (out of New York I believe). You couldn't have done better if Democrats had infiltrated the GOP party and guided things themselves.
