NY-23: Pawlenty Endorses Hoffman
Tim Pawlenty is endorsing Conservative Party nominee Doug Hoffman in the Nov. 3 special election for New York's 23rd District...
"We cannot send more politicians to Washington who wear the Republican jersey on the campaign trail, but then vote like Democrats in Congress on issues like card check and taxes," Pawlenty said in a statement to RedState. "After reviewing the candidates' positions [and seeing all those TEA leaves], I'm endorsing Doug Hoffman in New York's special election...
Hoffman has previously been endorsed by former Alaska governor Sarah Palin ... a poll today showing Hoffman in the lead.
"What makes this stand out even more than the Palin endorsement is that Pawlenty has not been seen as diverging with the Republican establishment," wrote RedState's Erick Erickson. "He's not seen as the maverick that Palin is. But Pawlenty has a huge amount of stature inside the Republican establishment, more so than Palin. That he is now willing to come out in favor of Hoffman is going to resonate among the Republican establishment in ways Palin's endorsement will not."
And they said Palin's political career and influence was over when she resigned as governor!
