Sarah- YES.

Mr.Newt- Yes. I have to disagree with you about him.

Mr.Newt has been more of an asset to the GOP than almost anyone else in the country now alive. In this case, I completely disagree with his support of the old power structure, as I have on one or two other issues. Nevertheless, I honor his service and his opinion. My honor for Mr.Buchanan has long since run its course, though.

I don’t believe he understands the dynamics in this area of NYState as well as I do, and due to that he made this error. I live within a couple miles of NY-23. I also worked very hard for Buckley when we won that Senate seat. The Conservative Party winning this seat was definitely within reach, and still is. The GOP has misread the tea leaves by giving the nod to Scozzy in this district. I understand the reasons they did so completely, but I argue they are wrong. I believe that Mr.Newt did not independently study this subject and instead relied on faulty info he was fed, and that someone more involved in this area’s political life could set him straight.

Perhaps Hoffman will win here. In this case, though, as long as Scozzy loses, the hope for a more conservative America will win, since those with their heart on the right, such as Mr.Newt, will discover there is more support for a strong conservative in Central NYState and other rural areas of the Blue States than they fear.
