American Thinker: Next Tuesday’s Lessons for 2010
So as sexy as a third-party win would be in NY 23, the candidate and his chief supporters refuse to call NY 23 a third-party movement. To them, this is what Reagan called a “revitalized second party” and an invitation for liberal Republicans to “go their own way.” The use of Reagan’s name by both Hoffman and Palin is not a coincidence here.

Next Tuesday’s Lessons for 2010
By C. Edmund Wright
OMG. From the backwater town of Wasilla, the naïve hockey-mom moose-huntress simply “Facebooked” a few thoughts into her device of choice, and damned if those words didn’t bounce off a satellite and land squarely in the middle of New York state politics. Key among those words was the phrase “endorse Doug Hoffman.”
Perhaps they landed in the middle of the run up to the 2010 mid term elections as well.
And from the glass towers of Manhattan to the stately low-rise buildings of Washington, self-important media pundits and Republican Party hacks are once again slow to realize that they have been outmaneuvered, out-finessed, and outsmarted by their favorite target of derision, Sarah Palin.
I wonder if David Brooks has quit staring at the crease in Obama’s pants long enough to notice.
By her endorsement of Conservative Party candidate Hoffman in the now famous 23rd Congressional district of New York, Palin has demonstrated guts, leadership, political instincts, and a connection with real America that continue to dwarf those traits in almost everyone inside the beltway. Oh, and BTW — she is a major reason that the now-famous special election of NY 23 is now famous.
