NY-23: Hoffman Says Victory Would Be for ‘Average People,’ Not Necessarily Republicans

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. — The Republican National Committee is running a radio ad in New York’s 23rd Congressional District telling voters that their choice in this election will echo across the country. And the early spin from Republicans is that a victory here would signal a Republican comeback. I asked Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman whether he would consider a win today a victory for the Republican Party, or a victory for the values he campaigned on.
“I think it’s a victory for specific values,” said Hoffman. “I expect Democrats to vote for me, I expect independents, and I expect Republicans. When I got into the race … I think there’s a number of people in America that are fed up with what’s going on in Washington, and we all as average people have to stand up and fight back, because we can’t spend money we don’t have.”
Throughout this race — and definitely as national Republicans have climbed on board in the past 48 hours — many conservative activists have argued that Hoffman’s bid is a pox-on-both-parties insurgency, and that his anti-debt message is implicitly an attack on the old Bush administration and the beltway GOP almost as much as it’s an attack on the Democrats. Hoffman, a registered Republican, is aligning himself with that take. If Hoffman wins tonight, expect some other conservatives to make this case, but most to say that voters put their confidence in the GOP over President Obama.
