If you've been following NY23, you may know that The Newt has taken shots at those conservatives who have dared to go against their masters. Zombies aren't supposed to do that. The Newt may want to rethink his strategery; there's a whole lot less teenage Rezombiecans now than there used to be. And the masterless cons don't mind hitting back. The Newt says that Hoffman lives out of district, making it sound like he's from Alabama or something. Not so fast. Check out what The Other McCain has to say about it. The Newt complains about out-of-staters weighing in on local politics. Wait a sec, Newt, here's what your friend, Fred Thompson had to say. As for purging the party, here's Michelle Malkin's take on it. The Newt is not looking so good. Better find yourself some smelling salts, buddy.
In other news, both Jim DeMint and Tom Cole (former NRCC Chair) have endorsed Hoffman. It's good to see so many Rezombiecans who, having found the cure, have shed the shackles of their masters. In fact, here's an admitted former Rezombiecan: Glenn Beck goes all out for Hoffman (complete with interview of Hoffman). As excited as I am to see people standing on principle to support Hoffman, I am even more excited to see if and how this will help Marco Rubio. Here's a great interview of Rubio talking about sticking to core principles. Check out what one of the commentators says at the very end of the clip.
UPDATE:
The world really is coming to an end. Though still miles apart from BrianR,
Michael Medved actually comes out in support of Hoffman. This tells me that the issues in this particular race are so glaringly obvious that, assorted leftists aside, only a truly unrecoverable Rezombiecan can vote for The Scozz.
UPDATE 2:
UPDATE 3:
As BrianR noted in the comments, The Scozz has dropped out of the race. I think this is going to have a huge impact on the Republican party in the next few years. The Newt thinks this will destroy the party. I think at some point in the future we may well look back and say that Hoffman and his supporters saved the party. Anyway, details and updates at
The Other McCain.
UPDATE 4:
There are rumblings that The Scozz may endorse the Dem over Hoffman; indeed, her husband already has. There are also rumblings that the White House is reaching out to The Scozz. And, in the "better late than never" category, The Newt, with no choices left, finally get around to endorsing Hoffman. On account of it being a lazy Sunday, check Ace of Spades, Hot Air, and/or The Other McCain on my blog roll for details.
UPDATE 5:
It's official. The Scozz has decided to endorse the Dem. This is the person that The Newt and others wanted to win. Better she lose and show her true colors now than win and stab us in the back later. Details via Ace of Spades:
The Newt is apparently taking a lot of heat at his own blog. Here's the link (stolen from Hot Air):
Love her or hate her, comes out on the credit side of this one. The Newt? Not so much. Sample comment: "Before you endorse another candidate again, ask Sarah who she is endorsing and follow her lead."
Michele Malkin notes that The Scozz walks out of this having used the GOP to the tune of 1mil+ in money that (most likely) Rezombiecans donated:
