Subject: The Race in New York's 23rd Congressional District
Fellow R.I.N.O.Hunters:
There's a big fight stirred up in New York's 23rd Congressional District,
pitting the national Republicans against the Conservative Party.
True to form, Michael Steele's RNC is backing left-wing Republican R.I.N.O.
Dede Scozzafava.
Fred Thompson, Dick Armey and the Club for Growth are backing Conservative
Party candidate Doug Hoffman.
