The GOP Establishment that has the money making/dispensing organization to help fund their next campaign.
Neither, IMO, is at all reflective of how I see things. And for ME, that’s what I look at.

Although my money is still on Palin winning the GOP nomination, and the general election.

You know, the guys with their wet index fingers in the air trying to figure out which way the wind’s blowing.

Help keep each of them away from the presidential nomination in 2012 — become a conservative Republican Party precinct committeeman now!

Toby, we need a cartoon!

…Waterloo.

May I have dibs on Remember NY-23?

Whether Hoffman pulls it out or not, the non-endorsements will be on record. Non-endorsement of Hoffman is a bellweather.

Endorse Hoffman and I will not think you mercenary and a sell-out, Although in the case of HWSNBN, that probably wouldn’t do it.

Activists Taking Action: Unified Patriots

is confusing in itself.

Today, Mark Davis spent a good bit of time discussing NY-23. He seemed to be on the side of the angels, but didn’t seem to fully embrace his own position. You can imagine what he dithered about–will support for Hofman result in another Democrat in Congress.

My take is that there are three possible outcomes, the worst of which is if the “Republican” is elected. Shocking, eh?

If Dede wins, it means we are all wrong. There is no conservative groundswell, just a bunch of tea-partying loudmouths who got their just deserts. But there will not be an additional body tagging along behind Nancy, unless Dede pulls a switcheroo. How she might vote is another question.

If the Democrat wins, so what? He’s just another body in a sea of Liberals, anyway. His vote won’t make any difference, but his victory might wake up the New York Repub party that put a Liberal in Republican clothing up against him.

If Doug Hoffman wins, we are vindicated. A conservative will have beaten both parties. Even if he just beats Dede, we should win for the next election.

To Chris Wallace: This has nothing to do with any “ideological purity” nonsense. It has everything to do with getting the Republican Party back on the conservative track that can win elections for it, with meaningful results, and with defeating liberal Democrats for a long time, not just for one year.

My question to New York Republican party leaders: Why did you make such a stupid selectin in the first place?

To the Third-Party proponents: This isn’t a good strategy for national or Senate seat elections, but it’s perfect for isolated House contests where a loss is actually insignificant.

If I were either Mitt Romney or Mike Huckabee, I would hive an endorsement anyway due to the fact that it will be seen as opportunistic anyway regardless of what Erick would say on the matter. In addition, Mike Huckabee has a paid speaking engagement for the Conservative Party, so it would reflect a conflict of interest on his behalf.

But really, the real reason is because they don’t want to give legitimacy to a third-party candidate. Due to the political system in this country, third parties have a rough time making it anywhere, and only serve as spoilers. If Hoffman wins, might give an incentive to others to began running third parties against the GOP, and then we have a situation where the Democrats dominate everything, and the other half of the power is split between the GOP and a third party.

Maybe he isn’t doing it just for show but it sure is funny how the endorsement comes right after polling shows Hoffman ahead. Palin is still the only one I’ve seen who stuck her neck out.

All the better about Romney and Huck; I’d be holding my nose if I voted for them anyway.

Regardless, I don’t think the actions of these folks should be forgotten. Whenever we regain control of the government, whether 2012 or later, we are going to need someone who has the stomach and political will to REPEAL the God-awful nightmare that Obama WILL pass (the only question is the degree of nightmare that passes). If that means the president falls on his sword to do so, so be it – the alternative is generations of enslavement. Watching Pawlenty hold his finger in the air to make sure its safe to endorse Hoffman tells me that he is not the man to do the job of the next President.

they could go down in history as the Adlai Stevenson of the Republican Party.

Pawlenty may be late to the table…and I think he did it to play catch up to Sarah…and because he got raked over the coals last week…but I want to welcome him to the table

as for the other crap weasels…it’s too late IMHO…they’re simply playing follow the leader.

The “Big Tent” analogy isn’t the correct one…the correct one is a MAGNET…we need to be a MAGNET that draws these independents in who are sick and tired of what’s going on in Washington—Fred Thompson

I don’t know if hes running in ’12 But Fred Thompson was the first Big name I saw endorsing Hoffman !!!

No suprise about Huckabee, hes a Big govt lib. Hes only part of the GOP because hes against the liberal sacrament of Aborton…………

I notice the NRCC is promoting a petition to “fire Nancy Pelosi.” Probably the hucksters at the NRCC will fire off appeals to all signers for funds so that they can further squander even more than the $850,000 they have already reportedly wasted trying to elect a RINO Democrat in New York.

A small question here. Don’t you think it is a tad arrogant to post an ultimatum like that on here ? Who decides when it is too late to endorse people ?

I don’t know much of anything about Pswlenty, but give him a break in this case. It may be psychologically effective for additional supporters to come on board as election day approaches. It may be more adventageous for Hoffman to pick up additional endorsements on a daily basis leading to the knockoput punch, maybe from Jim DeMint or someone of like stature. Let’s count them up when it is over.

Oh yeah and the NRCC stands for:

National
RINO
Congressional
Committee

NO more $$$ for anybody who funds ACORN – I don’t care if it is the GOP!!!

I liked Huckabee in 2008 – with that said he needs to stay on FOX because for me his 2012 stocks just crashed like an Obama economy.

One of his current supporters responded to the RT that I did when Erick posted his response to the news that Huckabee would not endorse the CONSERVATIVE candidate. The supporter said something like he had a pre-scheduled speech set up for the Conservative Party in NY and if he endorsed Hoffman it would look like a conflict of interest because he was getting paid to speak there.

PROBLEM SOLVED & very EASY solution – Huck keep your scheduled speaking engagement, ENDORSE Hoffman, AND do the speaking gig for FREE – no more conflict!!! Conservative who is passionate, has principles & stays true to them and doing what is right over politics or I have no use for the candidate if they cannot follow that!!!

doesn’t live in the district? True? If so, does it not matter in NY? After all, the Hillary didn’t live in NY either until she was elected to the Senate.

I thought this site was a “conservative and REPUBLICAN” website. I seem to recall a lot of comments being mnade during the last presidential primary that this site was both conservative and Republican, and that third party talk was not to be tolerated,

Glad to see that the site has come off that position, but I do see these blog as inconsistent with many of the comments that were made in 2008. Is this new openess to third parties generally applicable, or is it limited to the 23rd Congressional District in NY?
