This is one of the most amazing political videos I have ever seen. And what’s more is it was put up as reason to vote for a Conservative Republican.
The less than charismatic Doug Hoffman is being sold as Jimmy Stewart’s Mr Smith goes to Washington. But as you can see it is far more like Barney Fife being interviewed by "Network" star Howard Beale. But at least we know Doug doesn’t like Karl Marx! Reason enough for an overwhelming victory by Republicans in Upstate New York.
I do wonder about that district up there which seems to be over 1/4 the land mass of New York state. Who lives up there? Is that were Texans go to die?
What is most interesting about this election is not that the Republican candidate dropped out to back the Democrat, but that Newt Gingrich is NOW the moderate voice of the Republican Party! Now that’s a bell weather for what’s coming for the GOP in 2012. The Dick Cheney OR Sarah Palin problem.
