Giuliani makes Scozzafava look like Taki. But last time, Hoffman held to the line of Bush and the Club For Growth on immigration. And he held to the line of Bush and Palin on war, including the "War On Terror". Has he learned the lesson? Capitalism and its wars not only are not conservative, but nor do they deliver the votes. So perhaps, in the state that returned James L Buckley to the Senate...
