Palin Endorses Hoffman
Yesterday I covered the New York 23rd District's Congressional race in my post: The Revolution Starts Here. The race pits "Republican" Dierdre Scozzafava against Democrat Bill Owens and Conservative Party of New York candidate Douglas L. Hoffman. As you know from my previous report Scozzafava is to the left of many Democrat Congress persons. i.e she is a Democrat. Or if you prefer A Republican In Name Only. In a surprise move Sarah Palin on Facebook has endorsed Hoffman. The people of the 23rd Congressional District of New York are ready to shake things up, and Doug Hoffman is coming on strong as Election Day approaches! He needs our help now.Well that is a shot across the bow of the Republican establishment. And Palin finishes off her Facebook message with this zinger: Republicans and conservatives around the country are sending an important message to the Republican establishment in their outstanding grassroots support for Doug Hoffman: no more politics as usual.You know, whether Hoffman wins or loses I believe Palin has a future in politics. Currently Hoffman at 23% is trailing Scozzafava at 29%, with Democrat Owens leading with 33%. If Hoffman wins or at least does better than the Republican anointed Scozzafava, Palin's official political future will start November 4th. My advice to the Republican Party? Wake up. The days of business as usual are over. Interesting times. Oh yeah. Palin asks that people donate what they can to Doug Hoffman for Congress. Update: And Don't forget to buy Palin's book Going Rogue: An American Life which is currently selling for $9.00 in hardcover. More: RS "The Other" McCain and I don't always see eye to eye on many political questions. But he has been way out front in his support for Hoffman. Read his take on events at Palin Endorses Hoffman.

M. Simon · October 23, 2009 06:29 AM Me three! Go Sarah! So feared by the Left!!! This woman is so refreshing. The Repubs had best wake up. It's conservative values (not the party) that people want. Charlotte · October 23, 2009 08:13 AM Don't be sheeple; educate yourselves to the many qualified candidates out there who are not interested in being labeled as Rep. or Dem. Palin is a cheerleader who wants to be the most popular girl in school, and she thinks by spouting her opinion, everyone will do what she says. Lame. amy · October 23, 2009 09:19 AM Yeah a cheerleader who revamped her state's tax code, actually forced Exxon to start drilling again, she does cheerlead for American troops, oil development and the narciso · October 23, 2009 11:40 AM While I like his commitment to economic freedom (and he's certainly better than his opponent), I would question Hoffman's commitment to individual liberty. http://www.nycf.info/component/content/article/37-home/128-special-election-in-ny-23 Hoffman has stated that he is a pro-life candidate, and that he opposes same-sex marriage, civil unions, and the repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy on homosexuals in the United States Armed Forces. Eric Scheie · October 23, 2009 12:19 PM Ah, Tom Petty bridges the cultural divide. Someone put together a great video several years ago of soldiers in Iraq with "Won't Back Down" as the sound track. I wasn't crazy about the war, but the combination of the images and song was terrific. But I hardly see how one can go to the gates of hell with or for Sarah, yet (short of having a terrific crush on her, which, ok, is quite understandable). She did not exactly stand her ground in her resignation. Dwight · October 26, 2009 08:59 AM She chose not to continue as governor..nobody drove her out of office..she could have continued spending State money defending a lame duck governorship from the left political machine..instead she is accelearating her contributions to this country in more important ways and left the State in the hands of another level headed conservative that shares her values JL · October 26, 2009 06:52 PM A tactical retreat is not the same as giving up the fight.

This is Exhibit 3 or 4 in making the case that Sarah Palin does not perceive her future as being within the confines of the Republican Party. It's only one of the many reasons she is the most fascinating figure (pun intended) in electoral politics today.
And why I would follow this woman through the gates of hell, if she asked.
