Updated: About $900,000 Too Late...

The RNC is now running a radio ad urging voters in NY's 23rd district to "vote conservative" in Tuesday's election. Though it doesn't mention Hoffman by name, the ad encourages voters to support "Republican, conservative values."

Hopefully this signals a change in attitude for the RNC, an organization dragged to supporting conservative values by conservative voters. The turnaround in NY-23 is inspiring--it shows the people are retaking control of the party. And that's some change we can all believe in.

Too bad the RNC wasted nearly $1 million dollars on the "Republican" who has pledged her support for the Democrat candidate...

UPDATE: House Minority Leader John Boehner is now regretting his support for Scozzy:

"This lady clearly has as agenda that's different than most Republicans; she was out there promoting herself," House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) said, noting that he has encouraged all members of the GOP conference to support Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman.

In addition, I enjoyed this response from user MLYSTER @ The Hill's blog:

No, Congressman Boehner, she doesn't have a different agenda from most sitting R's, OR D's: like most of Congress, she's out there promoting herself. Rather than principles. Which is the problem.Note to the NRSC and NRCC: This experience is a harbinger of things to come from your base. To paraphrase the movie '300': It won't be over soon; and, you won't enjoy it.
