The candidacy of the official Republican nominee, liberal Dede Scozzafava, selected by local party officials and supported by the national Republican establishment, is collapsing. The Republican who has a real chance to defeat Democrat Bill Owens is Doug Hoffman, the Conservative Party candidate-a Republican with a profile far more like the popular [former congressman and now Army Secretary John] McHugh, and one far more in sync with the district. What's more, if elected, Hoffman would caucus in Congress with Republicans-whereas Scozzafava could well pull an Arlen Specter and defect to the Democrats.
And yesterday, former Congressman Dick Armey endorsed Doug Hoffman too.
Scozzafava supported the big tax-and-spend budget backed by the notorious ex-Governor Eliot Spitzer and signed by the current governor, David Paterson. She supports the card-check legislation that would abolish secret ballot elections to organize a union, is endorsed by the state teachers' union, and backs the Obama stimulus bill. The Democrat in the race, Bill Owens, backs the Pelosi-Obama agenda.
Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman opposes higher taxes. He opposes the Obama stimulus and earmarks. He opposes the healthcare bill moving in Congress.
Right now, he is the only Republican who can win this race.

Last week, The Rothenberg Political Report's editor said "Hoffman continues to gain strength."
Hoffman can win. He just needs the money to get his positive message out. He has started to do that - his ads hit broadcast TV last week. Now Club members can be sure he has enough money to buy enough ads from now until Nov. 3 to win.
The Democrats and Republicans continue to tear each other apart with TV ads, and the Club for Growth PAC hammered both the Republican and Democrat with a massive ad buy. There is a huge opening for Hoffman in this race.
Political experts all over the country are watching this Nov. 3 election to see if there really has been a change in the political winds since 2008.
Can you imagine their shock on November 4 if both the Democrat AND Republican lose this special election, beaten by the Conservative Party candidate?
Please send Hoffman's campaign your most generous contribution today. The election is just two weeks away.
