However, the split among Republicans and Conservatives last year was seen as a major factor in Owens’s win, which marked the first time a Democrat had won the seat since 1852.

Some fear that Hoffman’s intention to stay in the race now will cause another split and give Owens victory again.
“Personally, I am very disappointed in Doug Hoffman’s decision,” Mark L. Barie, chairman of the Upstate New York Tea Party, said today.
UNYTEA had endorsed Hoffman in the Republican primary, but members are being polled to see what their next move will be.
“I thought it would be best, not only for the 23rd District but for the country and the Tea Party, if he (Hoffman) stopped his campaign,” Barie said.
“He has no money, he has no campaign, and I think he is living an old dream from last year, and it is not going to happen again.”
Clinton County Republican Party Chairman Donald Lee also said Hoffman should drop out.
“I would issue a call for him (Hoffman) to drop out right now. It’s the only ethical thing to do,” Lee said.

we need to win as many seats as we can....and after the primaries, it should be all engines on go...
I can't say just what I feel about these ARROGANT,EGOTISTICAL,and UNETHICAL bottom dwellers such as Hoffman, and Murkowski and Lazio and even Castle, who may or may not run....
A POX ON THEM!
we could just be like the dims and break knee caps...(joke)
after the primaries it is different...you support who the people voted for...
I don’t support those who think it’s okay to kill babies.
Sounds like Hoffman is pulling a Murkowski..... Sore losers need to get over themselves.
Lazio better not run on a third party line. We have a real shot to upset another Cuomo.
how can we make sure that our guy wins?
