A team of conservative bloggers with 73Wire.com arrived in upstate New York’s 23rd District this morning and visited the headquarters of liberal Republican candidate Dede Scozzafava:

Not only is the NRCC pumping hundreds of thousands of dollars into the media campaign of Dede Scozzafava, they’re also organizing and coordinating teams of GOTV volunteers in the district. And they’re picking up the tab.
Our team just finished meeting with a NRCC volunteer named “James” who works out of the Watertown office for the Scozzafava campaign. James informed us that he was sent to Watertown, NY from Washington D.C. as a volunteer for the NRCC. We asked about expenses, and he said the NRCC was paying for everything.
We had a great chat with James and learned that a good portion of the Scozzafava campaign volunteers were indeed brought in from outside of the district… .

Read the whole thing. Meanwhile, the Hoffman campaign just confirmed that Doug Hoffman will not attend tonight’s Conservative Party dinner with Mike Huckabee.

Newt Blasts Conservatives' "Purge" Mentality

Conservatives Blast Republicans' "Binge" Mentality.

Thank you for the update. This is all too reminiscent of Thomas Dewey ("twice we followed you to defeat":Everett Dirksen).

Why even those like Newt have such a death wish is beyond my ken. The count is no longer Dem v. GOP. It is statist tyranny v. Liberty. The rules have changed since 1994 when GOP mattered and he restored control of congress after 40 years.

The time to rebuild is now. The time to stand is now. They often ask, "is this the hill you want to die for?" The answer must be Yes, for even if we fail on this beach, those who follow will surely succeed.

Q: How do I know the NRCC doesn’t read this blog? « DaTechguy's Blog links to this page. Here’s an excerpt:

…need mine. Ah if they had only checked my Amazon reviews they would have saved the bulk mail rate. Vote Hoffman forget NRCC.

But could you name names in the NRCC? Who would be those responsible? Since there are good conservatives in the GOP, it seems unfair to lump them together.

John Cornyn on the Senate side is also supporting liberals against conservatives.

Who would be those responsible? blackberry cases

John Cornhole, Nude Gingrich, and the rest of the GOP establishment need to be taught a lesson they won't forget. There is no better way to teach that lesson than to elect Hoffman.
