These are some awesome quotes. Reading this about Sarah Palin is music to my Reagan loving ears!
ReplyDeleteIf Gov. Palin showed up in Hoffman's district for a couple of rallies, practically every voter in the district would show up, even the democrats. The fact that Hoffman raised $116,000 in a few hours after the endorsment is testiment to her real power. No other candidates endorsement would have gained him much in the way of donations.
ReplyDeleteOne thing's for sure. The Hoffman candidacy, no matter what the outcome, has opened up a gigantic Pandora's Box. Consider that for decades the Libertarian Party has been clammoring for Republican support for their 3rd party ballot line candidates in such special circumstance elections, (i.e. the Shelly Sekula-Gibbs for the TX Tom DeLay seat in 2006 fiasco).
ReplyDeleteRepublicans have said all along, "oh no, no, no, we can never back a 3rd party effort," even when a Libertarian is the only one on the ballot against a Democrat.
Now, they'll never, ever be able to make that claim again. Hoffman has cleared the way for future Libertarian Party support from the Republican Party. And remember, the Libertarian Party runs an average of 800 to 1,000 candidates nationwide each election cycle.
Sent my donation to Hoffman's campaign this am. The battle for the soul of the Republican Party is underway. Is it politics as usual or are we going to return to our core values?

ReplyDeleteHis little bit of snark is now in the toilet, along with Obama's hopes of a second term.
