Reaction to Sarah Palin's Doug Hoffman endorsement, Part 4

*
Don Surber:
"Conservatives blame the Republican Party’s fall from power on the moderates. The moderates blame Sarah Palin. And Sarah Palin is flexing her political muscles. She has this year and next to show she can raise money and bring voters to the polls."
Conservative Girl With a Voice;
"While Huckabee is not going to endorse the liberal Republican Party candidate, he is not going to support a man who believes in the same things he does? For the sake of conservatism, take a stand!"
Right Thinking:
"Palin demonstrates her commitment to principle, and she remains faithful to her conservative principles, even when it means going against the party establishment. That’s true leadership, and that’s one thing that sets Sarah Palin apart from most politicians."
Pamela Geller:
"Sarah Palin gets it -- big time. The future looks bright."
Standing Pat:
"Whatever the outcome of NY23, Palin sided with true conservatives and real patriots. Gingrich didn’t... Who will we support... for 2012? Palin wins hands down."
Anthony Moretti, Ph.D.:
"Her recent endorsement of the most conservative of the candidates in one New York Congressional election makes clear that Mrs. Palin is ready to carve out her niche as the conservative voice of the Republican Party."
More Than Right:
"Palin is appealing to the real power. That power was represented by the 1.8 million Tea Party protesters who marched on Washington not that long ago, which was comprised of disgruntled Republicans and Democrats alike."
Stacy McCain:
"The Doug Hoffman campaign collected $116,000 online in a single day last week [just after Sarah Palin endorsed him]... I spoke with a campaign source who told me that the overwhelming majority of those donations were in the $20-$50 range."
LCBorden:
"She can draw a crowd, she can raise money, she can sway closely contested elections... More power to her. Goodbye Newt, hello Sarah!"
The Lonely Conservative:
"The GOP needs less political tactitians like Newt Gingrich and more rogues like Sarah Palin and Doug Hoffman. Or they can continue down the same destructive path they’re on, only to find themselves completely irrelevant and powerless against the democrats in their quest for socialism in America."
The Reaganite Republican:
"And it's quickly looking like Newt and the Huckster flat-out blew it --  along with the GOP grandees that saddled NY-23 with this unfortunate choice."
American Conservative Daily:
"Sarah Palin, et al. broke ranks to support Hoffman and she threw her SarahPac behind him not out of Gingrich’s sense of expedience but out of concerned principle."
The Right Rev Rowland:
"Hoffman has surged in recent days ahead of both the Democrat and Republican candidates. Add to that a one-day fundraising total of over $116,000, and the momentum is clearly with the Independent candidate. Perhaps the endorsement [by] Gov. Sarah Palin had something to do with it?"
Dan Riehl:
"I still remember Sarah Palin referencing Newt and his ideas about getting beyond party to some degree. Funny that she chose one side in NY and he the other."
The Daily Instigator:
"After Palin Endorsement, Conservative Candidate Surges Ahead"

  1. When Hoffman wins (when not if), it will send shockwaves through all those Blue Dogs in congress, they will have nightmares about Gov. Palin showing up in THEIR districts in 2010. It will also send shockwaves through the gop leadership, such as it is, because they know she will be gunning for them next. We already know she can drop a crafty moose, so bagging a slow witted, cocktail sipping, clueless bozo will be really easy.

  2. I can't even begin to communicate the groundswell of enthusiasm, anger, determination... that this is not going to be business-as-usual. This is the first salvo. Ignore us now at your peril in 2010.

    Gov Pawlenty (MN) endorsed Hoffman today. You'll see more getting on the bandwagon, but where were they BEFORE it became politically expedient to endorse? Support Hoffman or look like a loser. Try and claim leadership of a grassroots tidal wave and lose even more--

    And where is Huckabee, and Romney? Newt is nuts. I appreciate what he did in '94 and the Contract With America, but he needs to focus on being a historian. He belongs in the past. We need new leadership.

    And we'll find it on our own. No party is going to corrupt this movement. NY 23 is the catalyst and I think it will be a blowout for Hoffman.

    "Can you hear us now?", is not directed to the administration only.

    “...but where were they BEFORE it became politically expedient to endorse?”

    They were waiting for a leader.
