Wall Street Journal commentary on the events hits the mark:
GOP state chairman Joe Mondello, now thankfully retired, and Beltway bigs misjudged public dismay against the Democratic agenda in Washington. Nominating a candidate who "can win" in the Northeast does not have to mean someone whose voting record is more liberal on taxes and unions than that of most Blue Dog Democrats.
I stand corrected, Newt endorsed Hoffman SUBSEQUENT to Scozzie dropping out.
ReplyDeleteAshamed of Newt for the first time!
