Um, isn’t Hoffman an accountant?
I read the article and the lawyer’s letter.
It is apparent that the merchant service that Hoffman’s campaign chose to receive online gifts did not provide the necessary receipts or whatever to give to the FEC.
Therefore, Hoffman incurred fines.
Therefore, Hoffman got a lawyer to go after the merchant service for the fines, since it was their negligence that led to the fines.
Apparently, this Watertown Times journalist thinks he is the next incarnation of Bernstein and Woodard.
He had enough information to put two-and-two together as I just did, but wants to try to make hay out of this by saving, “wow! look at the mess Hoffman is in”.
Talk about giving journalists a bad rap.
Gee, CPA Doug Hoffman can’t explain it, but JDM can? Maybe the wrong Tea Party person is running for congress.
Hoffman is a joke.
For what it’s worth, I got a call from a Doheny poll on Sunday.
So far, I have not heard dittily about it on the news. Must be Doheny got nuthin’ to report from it.
Just received a Hoffman flyer in the mail. A nice picture of Doug looking almost Jimmy Carter-like and a picture of Matt looking like a mug shot of some sort. All sorts of accusation of Matt being pro-choice and a Wall St “carpetbagger”. I guess Dougs gone negative.
Several old letters here but where is my letter concerning the spoilers from yesterday 9/8/10. From what I read above you only keep the hate Hoffman letter.
Mine was in defense of both Doheny and Hoffman telling you who the rel spoilers. Please bring it back. Here it is if you have lost it.

Concerning the “Your News Now” report, “Spoilers in the 23rd District” by Amanda Kelly at http://watertown.ynn.com/content/top_stories/516782/spoilers-in-the-23rd… Amanda should report the truth.
The truth is:
The spoilers are 11 GOP chairman who voted against “We The People.” We showed them a year ago who our choice is and proved Doug Hoffman would win in an honest election which that one wasn’t.
Also, 110 committeemen spoilers also voted against “We The People” when they agreed with the 11 Chairmen to totally ignored “We The People” who had spoken loud and clear.
People, wake up and elect people to the lowest positions who reflect your values, not the parties’ goal of one world government. Eventually they reach these positions of power.
Read your Constitution and vote accordingly.
Please be advised that Doug Hoffman has no release from the Conservative party to withdraw. It is not, I repeat, it is not allowed.
