Doug Hoffman (NY-23) raises $116,000 in a single day after Sarah Palin’s endorsement

Doug Hoffman campaign spokesman Rob Ryan called and gave “The Other McCain” the good news. With Sarah Palin’s endorsement of the independent candidate on Thursday, Hoffman raised a total of $116,000 in campaign contributitions for the one day alone! Given previous reports that the campaign had raised $210,000 in the week ending Tuesday, and estimating more than $30,000 for Wednesday, this puts the Hoffman campaign’s online fundraising at about $400,000 in the past nine days. Dede Scozzafava the ACORN/Daily Kos endorsed “Republican” is suffering from a serious cash crunch. She spent nearly as much as she raised – $204,879 compared to $233,583 – loaned her campaign $12,000 and has just $40,703 on hand. Her biggest expense? Media, specifically Strategic Media Services in Washington, D.C.

One thing’s for sure. The Hoffman candidacy, no matter what the outcome, has opened up a gigantic Pandora’s Box. Consider that for decades the Libertarian Party has been clammoring for Republican support for their 3rd party ballot line candidates in such special circumstance elections, (i.e. the Shelly Sekula-Gibbs for the TX Tom DeLay seat in 2006 fiasco).

Republicans have said all along, “oh no, no, no, we can never back a 3rd party effort,” even when a Libertarian is the only one on the ballot against a Democrat.

Now, they’ll never, ever be able to make that claim again. Hoffman has cleared the way for future Libertarian Party support from the Republican Party. And remember, the Libertarian Party runs an average of 800 to 1,000 candidates nationwide each election cycle.
