Mike Allen might not be a Republican political strategist, but he tried playing one on TV today, telling the GOP it was "crazy" and "suicidal" to be supporting Doug Hoffman over Dede Scozzafava in a special congressional election in northern New York.

Politico's chief political correspondent offered his unsolicited advice on today's Morning Joe.

Politico columnist says Republicans “crazy and suicidal” to support Doug Hoffman over Dede Scozzafava. Ping to Today show list.

Why Hewitt continues to use this numb nut as a guest on his show is beyond me.

[Renegade]

CONSERVATIVES are supporting Hoffman , Republicans are supporting Scozzafava.

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

Said as Hoffman just pulls ahead, and the GOP establishment candidate is in third and fading fast.

Expert advise there Mike. But don’t quit your day job.

[Doofer]

CONSERVATIVES are supporting Hoffman , Republicans are supporting Scozzafava.

Bump...

[Dawgreg]

You said it Renegade! :)

[Ann Archy]

Can’t STAND Mike Allen.

[bmwcyle]

Politico is a bunch of A-holes.

POLITICO is another arm of OBOZOLAND, a sister to ACORN, SEIU, and PODESTA’S MEDIA TRASH TEAM! Go FOR HOFFMAN!! and send a Loud and Clear message to the RNC, and Steele!!

NO RINO’S!!

Did the DEMORATS ELECT a DINO?? NO, They ELECTED a LEFT WING EXTREMIST THAT MAKES CHAIRMAN MAO LOOK LIKE A WONDERFUL SAINT!!

You have it exactly right. This is a perfect opportunity to show the establishment GOP how much weight conservatives have in determining election outcomes. If they want to win future elections, they need to work with us.

[xcamel]

Politico is not your friend.

[moose2004]

Mike Allen was a longtime WH reporter for the WashPo before he joined Politico, ignore his liberal babble.

[Obadiah]

CONSERVATIVES are supporting Hoffman , Republicans are supporting Scozzafava.

Basically, it's just that simple. The elite chattering class doesn't get it because they don't "get" conservative values. They see horse races.

[moose2004]

I think more Repubs are supporting Hoffman than you think.

[cripplecreek]

The elite chattering class thinks the parties should be modeled on the politburo.

[McGruff]

Politico is a bunch of democrat bloggers masquerading as reporters. If they are against something we should be for it.

Scarborough has been praising Hoffman just like the conservative should. He made an interesting statement that Gingrich opposed him in 1994 because Newt thought Scarborough was too conservative. Interesting, I thought Newt was the head of the conservative movement at that time.

You just gave yourself and the rest of Us the obvious answer!

Hewitt LOVES NUMBNUTS! Hewitt must get the approval of OLBERMANNN for ALL GUESTS ALLOWED ON PMSNBC.......:-)

Although ‘Political Strategists’ are omnipresent on the media, I have yet to hear any explanation of what these people actually *do*...

As best as I’ve been able to determine from observation, their sole function is to come on TV and spout talking points....

(There’s a discernable difference - Democrat ‘Political Stragegists’ are usually screechy young women, while their Republican counterparts are, for the most part, timid men...)
