Update: Hoffman chooses Beck, Hannity over debate
Jude Seymour is reporting in the Watertown Daily Times that Doug Hofman is bagging the debate tonight in order to appear on two national radio television programs.
The first is a radio show hosted by Sean Hannity, the Fox News personality; the second is the TV show hosted by Glenn Beck, also on Fox.
This comes on a day when his rival, Republican Dede Scozzafava, held a teleconference to deride the Conservative and Democrat Bill Owens for not participating in enough (any?) debates.
One other footnote: In this race, at least, Fox appears to be disproving the White House notion that Fox and its personalities represent the PR wing of the Republican Party.
At present, Fox is doing everything possible to eviscerate the GOP's candidate, Scozzafava...

Someone needs to point out that he isn't running for Beck and Hannity but for the folks in his district.
You cannot fault the guy for putting the people he would represent first.
carpetbagger [ˈkɑːpɪtˌbægə]
n
1. (Government, Politics & Diplomacy) a politician who seeks public office in a locality where he has no real connections.
Can you spell Hoffman?
If he doesn't want to be accountable to the people of the 23rd, I hope the voters grant him his wish.
Frankly, it strikes me that he's someone more interested in building a national profile for a more high profile run than actually winning the House seat.
I actually thought he had a chance to win the seat based on recent numbers but I think this decision is going to sabotage his chances. Voters know when a pol is giving them the finger.
Funny bit:
Karl Marx endorses Scozzafava with a song!
