I had the pleasure of welcoming a room full of political tourists to Watertown tonight.
They were with the Susan B. Anthony List, a group of pro-lifers in town to help with the candidacy of Doug Hoffman for Congress. Former US Rep. Marilyn Musgrave was there and spoke about the need to work diligently in the coming days handing out literature and waving signs near polling places.
Its a fervent group, happy over the withdrawl of Diedre Scozzafava from the race, but realizing their goal of a more conservative country hinges on winning Tuesday.
Like with any group there is varying degrees of true believers.....but most seemed like your neighbors just trying to make a difference and preserve an America they love. Hard to argue with that.
The common theme among the varied groups supporting Hoffman is not abortion, gay marriage, or even card check.
The issue is fiscal restraint and deficits. The notion that we are now talking about trillions of dollars like it was nothing. These folks realize that fiscal sanity is what will ensure life as we know it.
I was glad I went. Wonder what hotel ACORN is staying at?

I could not disagree with you more. If Dede were against abortion and same sex marriage, she would be well on her way to DC. To say otherwise, I think is disingenuous, and gives the Hoffman crowd more credit than there due. Even Long said it was the gay marriage thing that broke the camel's back with him. I think he would have even overlooked card check. If you look who has signs in their yards for Hoffman, they are mostly over 60 and dead set against gay marriage.
notice how fast Graham switched sides, like a chameleon, kissing ass all the way into the Day's Inn which he spelled correctly. Now the outsiders, who were anathema when here for Owens/Aubertine, are remarkably just like regular folk, "like your neighbors just trying to make a difference..." I am throwing up in my mouth.
Quick,....Swallow !
Graham should not vote on Tuesday. He forfeited the right when DeDe withdrew.
Marilyn Musgrave!! What the hell is wrong with you people? She is a nut (not to mention a sore loser). If this is who Hoffman alligns himself with, I want no part of him. She is nothing but a Taliban Republican.
Mayor Graham should be ashamed of himself and the voters who put him there should revolt and demand his resignation.
Can;t believe he has thrown in with the extreme teabaggers and all their hate mongering.
Why Be Shocked? Thats just Jeff being Jeff A hypocrite.
Jeff also has been deleting my postings because they question his actions during this campaign. Real good leader.
Did the Conervatives rent the whole floor??
Mayor Graham deletes any post he doesn't like.
Glad I am not the only one who has been getting deleted. LMAO
