The New York Post:
Rudy Giuliani is publicly sitting out a bitter upstate congressional race -- but one of his political advisers will be helping the Conservative Party candidate, in a move seen as a tacit nod, The Post has learned.
Adviser Jake Menges, who would not get involved if Giuliani opposed the move, will help 23rd Congressional District hopeful Doug Hoffman get out the vote against Republican Dede Scozzafava, Hoffman spokesman Rob Ryan confirmed.
