The 2009 Congressional candidate who almost won on the Conservative Party line is backing Elise Stefanik for the GOP Congressional nod. Doug Hoffman still has a following in much of NNY and his backing comes as Ms. Stefanik seeks to ward off other potential GOP candidates following the surprise announcement this week from Rep. Bill Owens that he would not seek reelection.
Names have been coming in and out of view all week as the chattering class wonders who might run and the major parties jockey for a seat very much in play.
As for endorsements, they are not always the be-all that pols think they are but if you are trying to create the drumbeat of inevitability, they can be helpful.
