But, doesn’t Newt Gingrich have a point, especially with regard to splitting the Republican Party and local choices of candidates?
Listen to Gingrich and you decide.

Newt was wrong, but that is no surprise to people who are familiar with his history. He is a political hack who declared years ago that “The Reagan Era is over.” He never was a conservative to begin with, but just pretended to be when it was expedient.
BTW, Newt wrote the following on his blog after Scozzafava withdrew from the race.
“I Am Endorsing Doug Hoffman
Scozzafava did the statesmanlike thing in dropping out.
“Clearly the race has evolved into a contest between a conservative and a pro-Pelosi, tax increase, big government liberal Democrat.
“This is both a tribute to the power of the national conservative movement to define an issue and a commentary on the populist anger against politics-as-usual.
“The New York GOP has now had two troubled special elections and it is clear they should go to a primary nominating system so everyone will feel it was fair and open.
“The age of party leaders picking people is over.
“I am endorsing Doug Hoffman and believe everyone who wants to create jobs with lower taxes and to control spending and deficits should vote for Doug Hoffman Tuesday.”
