#1 A perfect opportunity for an endorsement. Well played.

#2 As of this posting, a little fact checking editing is needed in the Title - "..McDonnell in NY-23 House race". It's Hoffman. I think we can do better than the MSM.

#3 McDonnell is running for Governor of Virginia.

But this endorsement by Palin is likely to hand the Democrats an easy win. With Hoffman not able to get the Republican nomination and deciding to run on a "Conservative" third party ticket, he is going to split the Republican vote. Unless he picks up overwhelming independent voter support, his candidacy is going to simply ensure a Democrat victory.

#4 The Republican candidate winning also ensures a democrat victory; she'll vote with the dems on all the important issues, such as whether to use the crisis du jour or the invented crisis du jour (i.e. Global Warming) to nationalize the economy.

The Republicans, if they want our vote, can try not nominating Democrat-in-all-but-name candidates.

#5 Crosspatch, rethink your point.

This is a very conservative Republican district and has been Republican since the Civil War. The problem is the party insiders hand picked the wrong candidate. The Grass Roots are now speaking up.

Hoffman has passed the Republican candidate Scozzofava already and is closing in on the Democrat Owens. It is funny that even the Democrat is to the RIGHT of Scozzofava.

Scozzofava should withdraw if she really wants to do what is right for the party. She is already running third and would be a spoiler at best. If she drops out, Hoffman wins big.

Scozzofave is a DIABLO. Democrat In All But Label Only.

Having a pro abortion, NARAL-funded, pro card check, tax and spend voting record, stimulus bill backing, Daily Kos and ACORN endorsed candidate is hardly a win for the Republicans. She has already considered changing parties. And how reliable would her vote be? Do you really want another RINO in congress?

She would give Pelosi what Pelosi needs: another "Republican" (DIABLO) vote to cover her ass when they vote with her to pass bad laws. Soczzofava allows the Democrats to claim they are bipartisan and lay part of the failure on the Republicans with the aid of the complicit liberal press.

You are wrong as are those who hold a similar uninformed opinion. Including Newt Gingrich.

#6 And the proof:

"In the same 24 hours that the former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate endorsed Doug Hoffman, the Conservative Party's pick to replace John McHugh in Congress, he has raised $116,000 online, his spokesman said."

#7 If you're looking for a long term strategy, then 2010 is the goal to take out the good old boy country club Republican establishment [the low hanging fruit]. Learn the methods that work, learn the processes to apply, learn to effectively organize and mobilize, and learn to efficiently apply resources, establish your lines of credit/funding. 2012 then is the soci@list turn. Pelosi et al will still be transfixed upon the Trunks and won't be able to effectively counter.

#8 Proc - look what we are doing in Colorado with Ryan Fazier. CO-7 candidate. www.frazierforcolorado.com

We snuck him past the country clubbers.

Hey Pappy, here's a swabbie you'll want in government. A Navy Veteran, a Crypto guy at NSA for a while, family man. I've met him and talked with him and know him. This is a good man.

We now need money. We have to take on Soros and his money via NEA, SEIU and other tentacles. If I had more energy I'd be spending all my spare time working for Ryan instead of laying around here sleeping and being weak.

Spread the word. Drop a fiver or a 20 or more if you can. Every dollar counts.
