U.S.: Failed NY third-party candidate Doug Hoffman: “Keep fighting”

  • Thank you to every single person out there that joined my team and fought back for America. This one was worth the fight. And it’s only one fight in the battle, and we have to keep fighting.
  • Failed Coservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman • On losing the race in New York despite huge amounts of momentum propping his third-party self up. The seat wasn’t as notable as the two governors’ races, but considering the right-leaning support Hoffman got from Sarah Palin and others, the loss to Bill Owens might be more stinging. • source

U.S.: Dede Scozzafava falls to conservative pressure in N.Y. House race

  • It is increasingly clear that pressure is mounting on many of my supporters to shift their support.
  • New York Republican Dede Scozzafava • On suspending her congressional campaign. The race is something of a symbol of the deep divisions in the Republican Party at the moment. Despite being the “official” candidate, many conservatives (most notably Sarah Palin, but notably NOT Newt Gingrich) supported Conservative party candidate Doug Hoffman. • source

Politics: Ideology or party identification? New York’s contested House race

  • I just think it is a mistake for the conservative movement to think splitting in the special election is a smart idea. If we give that seat to the Democrats, shame on us.
  • Newt Gingrich • On the contested New York congressional contest, where many Republicans are supporting Conservative Party nominee Doug Hoffman over GOP nominee Dede Scozzafava, who’s a bit less conservative than Hoffman. Gingrich says that other politicos like Sarah Palin are making a mistake by splitting the vote. He’s right, you know – Ross Perot helped Bill Clinton win two easy elections. • source
