Hoffman.
Between an SEIU backed dem and a ACORN back Rep. I think I would go with the third party.
Owens seems alright but why ruin a tradition, some of those parts havent elected a dem since the 1850's
So let me get this straight...
You call Dede "ACORN-backed" - a claim which has been erroneously made because she was endorsed in the past by the Working Families Party, which is somehow connected with ACORN, as a state legislator and because she is an acquaintance of the WFP vice-chair.
However, you then go on to say that "Owens seems alright", even though he is endorsed IN THIS ELECTION by that very same Working Families Party? AND - the candidacy of Doug Hoffman is helping to ensure the election of the Working Families Party candidate Bill Owens.
To sum it up:
I'm supporting the candidate who was backed by the WFP while at the same time being one of the most conservative Republican members of the New York Assembly.
You're ensuring the election of a man who is backed by Obama, the WFP/Acorn, etc.
I think Owens is alright because he sounds fiscaly responsible, I wouldent support him however because of a few of his other posistions.
even if a vote for Hoffman would help Owens chances, a conservative voting for Scozzafava simply because she is a republican amounts to throwing away your vote. mabey the more liberal Republicans should think of this as a good thing, instead the moderates and liberals being pushed out of the party its the conservatives that bolted in this case.
I personaly have no problem with the moderate wing of the GOP or even their being liberalsin it historicly its been a centrist party however this doesent mean that Conservatives should only have a choice between a Liberal and a moderate, hoffman is simply being "option C"
