#1 Beck had Hoffman on last night, Hoffman is about as exciting as watching paint dry.

#3 Hoffman is not exciting. He's a CPA. They tend to be conservative. You don't want a CPA that is too creative--especially with the books. I've not known too many CPAs who are exciting. That said, I care more about what he stands for and how well he represents his constituents rather than the status quo in Washington. I'm not looking for a cult of personality. We have that already and it's not working out too well.

#4 Newt has been all over CATV News outlets (I guess in campaign mode?) spouting that Hoffman does not even live in that district, can anyone here confirm..

#5 Hard to say if he lives in district. His residcence on Wikipedia is Lake Placid. On the map of the district Lake Placid proper is gerrymandered out of the district, but it is not clear if he might live in part of the district without knowing his exact address. Newt will be the big loser.

#6 This poor district has a choice between Obama, Obama Lite and Wet Paint. I'm sorry for Mr Hoffman, he looked totally out of his element. Beck tried everything to draw him out but he could barely answer yes or no without hesitation.

#7 given the "ram it through, NOW!" attitude in the Exec and Legislature, a distinct "hey! maybe we oughtta read it first and talk about it?" attitude is welcome
