NY-23: Gingrich Endorses Hoffman

Guest-posted by Jimmie Bise of The Sundries Shack.

Let's call this one a grudging, backhanded endorsement, shall we?
Scozzafava dropping out leaves hoffman as only anti-tax anti-pelosi vote in ny 23 Every voter opposed to tax increases support doug hoffman
It's clear that the only reason Gingrich flipped his endorsement is because Scozzafava suspended her campaign and dropped out of the race. He still holds to the delusion that Scozzafava is actually dedicated to lower taxes (she's not) and opposing the Pelosi/Reid/Obama agenda (except where it involves pro-life issues, massive government spending, support for ACORN and big labor, and pork-barrel projects as vote bribes).

Of course, Gingrich could rehabilitate himself with conservatives by hitting the news networks as hard for Hoffman as he did for Scozzafava. The election is Tuesday. Surely Gingrich, who fancies himself a leader of the conservative movement, can spare a bit of shoe leather for Doug. But will he?

More update as the story develops...

UPDATE (2:476 P.M.): According to Jonathan Martin of The Politico, Mike Huckabee has endorsed Doug Hoffman, too. Expect others to come in for Hoffman, too (**coughRomneycough**), now that the fence on which they were all precariously perched has disappeared out from underneath them.

  2. I disagree. The best thing Newt can do for Hoffman is to take a powder and shut his cake-hole. Campaigning for him will look so disingenuous as to be laughable.

    Go Hoffman!

  4. Too late, Sir Huckabee, you are still fence-sitting general to us. We do not need that kind of leaders for the battle that we are fighting for

  5. Bugger Newt,Romney and Mitt with a bobwire fence post. They are old dead weight trying to climb on a bandwagon that's still rolling.

  6. Sorry, that should have been "Bugger Newt, Romney and Huck, etc. Didn't mean to double up on Romney.

    Someone fetch a crowbar and the mallet and we'll get this sorted out...

  7. Mitt, at least Newt took a stand. This was not a great moment for you Mitt. Even Hugh Hewitt is ashamed of you.
