Newt lost my support.   The republican party is a MESS and I can not pick anyone that I'd like to see run on the R ticket.

I would like to see Palin as a catalyst for a third party, and I think she might be the person to pull it off.  Look at the effect she's had on Hoffman's campaign; he's now leading the other two candidates by double digits and the DNCC is sending out emails pleading for money.

I suppose a shift in the Republican Party may be too much to ask.  I could accept Steele's endorsement of Scozzafava... it is his job to support Republicans and not independent candidates.  The  moderate don't like Palin and the post-campaign trash talk from McCain's staffers makes that obvious enough.  I'm ready to wash my hands of the GOP... I have no use for them.

Somebody correct me if I am wrong, but it is my understanding that the only reason that Hoffman is running as a 3rd party is because the RNC refused to endorse him as the GOP candidate.

Yep, those Rockefeller Repubs figured that Hoffman was too conservative for them. They favor candidates like  McCain, Romney and other RINO's.

I am a conservative libertarian and I am not a member of any political party. They are all crooks and liars. I never cared for Newt and GOP.

Updated 11/1 - The race has evolved into a contest between a conservative and a pro-Pelosi, tax increase, big government liberal Democrat.

This is both a tribute to the power of the national conservative movement to define an issue and a commentary on the populist anger against politics-as-usual.

The New York GOP has now had two troubled special elections and it is clear they should go to a primary nominating system so everyone will feel it was fair and open.

The age of party leaders picking people is over.

Scozzafava did the right thing in dropping out. I am, however, deeply dissapointed that she has chosen to back Owens over Hoffman.

I am endorsing Doug Hoffman and believe everyone who wants to create jobs with lower taxes and to control spending and deficits should vote for Doug Hoffman Tuesday.
Newt the irrelevant

Sorry Newt, you're late to the party and cannot jump on the bandwagon just hours before the election.

I'm sorry, Mr. Gingrich, the betting window is closed.  Try to wake up a little earlier next year.
