No wonder Scozzafava called the cops, Hoffman is gaining fast, Right rallies for upset 

By: MARK TAPSCOTT Editorial Page Editor 10/20/09 6:16 PM EDT Politicians like far-left New York Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava who have Republican congressional nominations handed to them by local GOP poobahs sometimes turn out to be lousy candidates. Evidence is accumulating fast that such is the case in the rapidly heating-up special election campaign to fill the seat vacated by Rep. John McHugh, R-NY. New York GOP leaders could have gone with Doug Hoffman, a well-known and successful entrepreneur of clear and unquestioned conservative principles. Instead, they chose Scozzafava, who has been endorsed in years past by ACORN’s Working Families Party, and who supports the Obama-Reid-Pelosi agenda across the board, including Big Labor’s Card Check proposal to abolish the secret ballot in workplace representation elections. After being rejected by the GOP leaders, Hoffman received the Conservative Party of New York endorsement and in the last three weeks his campaign has gone from nowhere to gangbusters, as nationwide attention has been focused by the Examiner, veteran conservative political activists like Andy Roth at Club for Growth, and legions of conservative bloggers on a race that is shaping up as possibly of historic consequence. via No wonder Scozzafava called the cops, Hoffman is gaining fast, Right rallies for upset UPDATED! | Washington Examiner .
