(ABC).Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin used her Facebook page on Thursday to endorse Conservative Party nominee Doug Hoffman over Republican nominee Dede Scozzafava in the special election for New York’s 23rd congressional district.
“Political parties must stand for something,” wrote Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee. “[T]he Republican Party today has decided to choose a candidate who more than blurs the lines, and there is no real difference between the Democrat and the Republican in this race. That is why Doug Hoffman is running on the Conservative Party’s ticket.”
The former House speaker Newt Gingrich recently threw his weight to Scozzafava.
After he took heat from some conservatives for his decision, Gingrich wrote: “The choice in New York is a practical one: We can split the conservative vote and guarantee the election of a Democrat in a Republican seat in a substantial loss of opportunity. Or we can find a way to elect someone who has committed to vote for the Republican leader, has committed to vote against all tax increases, has committed to vote against cap-and-trade, and is a strong ally of the NRA.”
