Doug Hoffman bucked the status quo. Faced with the unsavory choice of two liberal Democrats (one masquerading as a Republican) in a special election in upstate New York’s 23rd Congressional District , Hoffman, a mild mannered accountant and family man from Lake Placid, jumped into the fray and came out swinging at establishment politics in New York and around the country. He didn’t win a seat in Congress but he did win over the hearts and minds of Americans fed up with being led around by the nose by the arrogant power elite running the GOP.

Conservative Party candidate Hoffman went from last place in a three way contest to forcing out the GOP backed and financed Dede Scazzofava who was called “arguably more liberal than her (Democrat) opponent.â€

Exactly Ms. Starrett. Thank-you. I was going to quote her, but too many good lines.

Except as far as the immigration issue, she quoted Gandhi: We're in the "being attacked" stage, guess the "win" stage is next!!

"First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they attack you, then you win.
