Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty's now fully-acquainted with Doug Hoffman's record, and is endorsing him over Republican, Dede Scozzafava, in NY-23.
Pawlenty:
"We cannot send more politicians to Washington who wear the Republican jersey on the campaign trail, but then vote like Democrats in Congress on issues like card check and taxes.
After reviewing the candidates' positions, I'm endorsing Doug Hoffman in New York's special election. Doug understands the federal government needs to quit spending so much, will vote against tax increases, and protect key values like the right to vote in private in union elections."
Mitt? Huck?
Red State's Erick Erickson has an interesting theory re: Huck's silence.
I’ve known this for a couple of weeks and hoped it wasn’t true. But based on more conversations over the last few days and today, I have to report that denials to the contrary I know why Mike Huckabee will not endorse Doug Hoffman despite agreeing with pretty much everything Doug Hoffman says.
The Club for Growth and Fred Thompson endorsed Doug Hoffman.
Huckabee and the Club do not get along and Huckabee is still bitter about Thompson hanging on after Iowa in 2008.
In related news, Club for Growth has released a new poll showing Hoffman leading both Democrat Bill Owens and Republican, Dede Scozzafava.
