Here comes the big money…
Steve Forbes Endorsing Doug Hoffman In NY-23

A source close to Doug Hoffman has just told me that Steve Forbes will be endorsing the Conservative Party candidate in the NY-23 special election — yet another right-wing voice who is rebelling against the Republican Party for nominating moderate candidate Dede Scozzafava.

This sure is a mess, and it’s looking more and more likely that Democratic candidate Bill Owens will win from the GOP split with the Tea Party purists, giving House Democrats a pick-up of a Republican-held seat.

The Palin/Bachmann endorsement is more high profile but I think Forbes is more important because he’s got some really deep pockets. There’s going to be a big money battle for control of the GOP.
