I think it is astounding in today's Politics for an unknown guy who is rather geeky on all fronts, only had 30 days and he almost won. Not to mention he didn't have the bucks either. Those facts alone would give any opposing party pause.
Awww Shucks! Hoffman was just a good ole boy
Unknown? Wasn't he front and center with Palin, Limbaugh and Beck every day?
No bucks? He had more money than any other candidate, 90% coming from outside the district.
Hoffman was a carpetbagger being pushed on the people of the 23 district by powerful outsiders. The view of "We know what is best for you more than you do" was soundly defeated by the locals.
His money did come from outside the district but he had far less to spend than either of his oppenants. He was a carpet bagger barely, he just didn't live in that district.
