I don’t think insolent is the word you wanted, and I can’t really figure out what it was supposed to be instead.

It was insolent in that it was contrary to the wishes of the Party.
Of course, nobody is subserviant to any party and free people are free to disagree, but I can understand the use of the word in that context.

I don’t think insolent is the word you wanted,

He wanted ‘insurgent’.

I’d love to see Hoffman win. My guess is that he’s not going to be a leading conservative thinker, but if he’s reliable and honest that’s enough.

The results may also underscore the idea that the GOP Brand is NOT a strength among independents, that a GOP-issues (or at least what we’d like to see as a GOP-issues candidate) may in fact do better among the broader voter base if freed from the Republican tag.

It will be interesting to see how that message is interpreted.

…supports Hoffman’s insolent campaign against Democrat Owens…

???

On topic, this is all very encouraging news for Hoffman, NY, and the US.

See this link for a Democratic dirty trick that is perfectly illustrative of their contempt for the voters. Warning – take you blood pressure meds before reading.

There’s whispers over on RedState that Pataki is going to endorse Hoffman. Apparently he’s VERY popular in NY-23, and won the district handily in his last election. This could end up in a big win for Hoffman.

Confirmed by Politico. Woot to Hoffman!

I already showed how idiotic the “Conservative = Republican” meme is in my article Democrat Base Just Doesn’t Understand. I have repeatedly stated GWB was no Conservative. And the idiot leftists still trot out their meme without even …

Talk about a couple of losers. They really should be running as Democrats. Tax and spend priorities on both of them. The state legislature is barely keeping the state from becoming a second rate financial disaster. Yes, Texas is running budget supluses last time I looked, but not because of Perry’s efforts. And Hutchinson voted for both stimulus bills from Washington, as did Cornyn, the other senator.

It’s easy to laugh about Democratic vs independent or Republican races in blue states. Fun to watch from the sidelines. But to have to witness a red state go through the nightmare of a “who’s most conservative” contest when both are limp rags of conservatism is embarassing. And knowing that there are other more financially conservative players on the bench is frustrating as well.

Hope the blue staters have a good laugh when this news from Texas heats up.
