A new poll out by The Club for Growth shows Doug Hoffman now in the lead in the race for Congress in New York’s 23rd district!
The Breakdown:
Hoffman (C) – 31.3%
Owens (D) – 27%
Undecided – 22%
Scozzafava (R) – 19.7%
Lynda reports:
I talked to a realtor friend of mine in North Creek and she said there were no individuals in Minerva, Northcreek, or Pottersville who didn’t know who Doug Hoffman was. There are signs all over Minerva.
The tide is definitely turning, keep up the great work!

Blue Collar Corner’s Andy Sullivan is doing an excellent job covering this race for New York City Council!
Dan Halloran has been active in the Tea Party movement. He MC’d the Healthcare Town Hall that was held in Bellerose and was one of the organizers of the Healthcare Tea Party protest outside Gary Ackerman’s office in Bayside.
A former firefighter, Dan has all the qualities and beliefs that make him an excellent candidate for the New York City Council!
