GLENN: …We have Doug Hoffman. Doug Hoffman is a conservative candidate running for special election for New York’s 23rd congressional district seat special election. Here’s the recent poll: Democrat, 33, Republican 29. Conservative 23. And he’s hacking off the GOP. Here’s the interesting part of this. SEIU has endorsed the Democrat. ACORN and Newt Gingrich have endorsed the Republican who is pro card check and pro stimulus package. Huh.
PAT: Newt Gingrich?
GLENN: Newt Gingrich. Newt Gingrich.
PAT: That’s disappointing…
…GLENN: Tell me about the other candidate and then tell me about you.
HOFFMAN: Okay. The candidate that they picked is an assemblywoman in the Albany legislature. She’s been in it for 10 years, 11 years. She’s a career politician obviously, and the conservative party in New York State which, by the way, is a very strong party, and candidates can win on that line, ranks all the New York State legislators and out of a possible score of 100, this lady received 15.

HOFFMAN: Well, the Democrat is probably more conservative than she is, but unfortunately the Democrat is heavily supported by the National Democratic Party to the tunes of millions of dollars in advertising, and he’s going to be a Pelosi puppet by the time he gets to Washington…
…GLENN: Okay…Are you…how is your fundraising going?
HOFFMAN: Well, that’s we’re certainly not getting the money that the Republicans and the Democrats are pumping in this area, but we’re getting money from all around the country.
GLENN: Isn’t the, one of the things that was happening here in Washington in New York City yesterday with the president where he did that $30,000 or $15,000 a plate dinner, wasn’t that to raise against you?
HOFFMAN: Isn’t that amazing? Little old me. The president has to come in and try to beat me.
PAT: So what’s how do people contribute if they
HOFFMAN: Well, they can go to DougHoffmanforcongress.com and with your help we can win this…
