...of the race for the 23rd Congressional District in New York, and the RNC has decided to back the Conservative candidate, Doug Hoffman. This clears the way for a two-man race in the district and a probable Republican victory.
The implications for the GOP extend much further, however. For starters, it's a big win for the Sarah Palin-Tea Party wing of the Republican party and a big loss for Newt Gingrich and the GOP establishment. But it could turn out to be a Pyrrhic victory for the ideologues. In a time when only one in five Americans identifies with the GOP, is a more conservative Republican Party going to attract voters going forward? I'll bet not.
