2012 Republican presidential candidate and occasional Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty has joined sides with some interesting right wing extremists in the NY-23 race. This race pits conservative Democrat Bill Owens, Republican Dede Scozzofava and right wing extremist Doug Hoffman against each other.
This district hasn't elected a Democrat since the Civil War era, but infighting amongst Republicans might gift us the seat. The Republican's circular firing squad had a new development today: the right wing, anti-immigrant vigilante group The Minuteman endorsed Hoffman.
Doug Hoffman, the Conservative Party candidate for New York's traditionally Republican 23rd District, has just won the right-wing support of the Minuteman Political Action Committee - the political action arm of a "nativist extremist" armed vigilante group. The Minuteman PAC is currently running Independent Expenditure radio spots and predicts that Hoffman is "positioned to win a landslide victory" over Republican Party nominee Dede Scozzafava.

Pawlenty's presidential aspirations hinge upon his ability to win over the knuckle-dragging mouth-breathers and it's interesting that he's climbing into bed with them on NY-23. Since the K-D/M-Bs won't tolerate a candidate who doesn't hate immigrants less than they do, is Gov. Teabag's positions on immigration about to become more explicitly racist?
