WASHINGTON (CNN)– Former House Speaker Newt
Gingrich, who came under fire from some conservatives for endorsing
Dede Scozzafava in next week's special Congressional election in New
York, is now backing Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman.
Gingrich made the announcement via Twitter shortly after the
Republican Party nominee Scozzafava announced she was releasing
supporters from their commitment to back her.
"Scozzafava dropping out leaves hoffman as only anti-tax anti-pelosi
vote in ny 23 Every voter opposed to tax increases support doug
hoffman," Gingrich wrote on Twitter. (Tweet shown as it appeared)
