http://hotair.com/greenroom/archives/2009/10/29/ny-23-hoffman-leads-and-now-it-looks-like-he-really-does/The latest round of polling gave evidence that Hoffman is on the rise and has pulled even with, or ahead of, Owens as Scozzafava has fallen into third place. In a newly-released poll commissioned by the liberal blog Daily Kos, Hoffman is within one point of Owens, 33 percent to 32 percent, with Scozzafava lagging well behind in third place with 21 percent….

Even more encouraging to Hoffman’s backers, the Daily Kos poll shows Hoffman is winning over more Republican voters than the GOP’s own nominee. He leads Scozzafava 41 to 34 percent among Republicans — a sign that GOP voters are increasingly identifying with Hoffman as the true Republican candidate.

And he holds a 19-point lead among independents over Owens, 47 percent to 28 percent, suggesting that his outsider message is resonating, and that his support isn’t confined to the conservative base.

Statement from Governor George E. Pataki

As someone personally engaged in the way of life in the Adirondacks and Northern New York, I’m deeply concerned about the course of our nation and the outcome of the election in the 23rd Congressional District.

Simply put, we cannot afford to give another vote to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid we cannot afford another vote for higher taxes, we cannot afford another vote for government run health care and we absolutely cannot afford another vote to take away from hard working men and women the right to secret ballot.

That is why tonight, I’m proud to endorse Doug Hoffman, a Republican, running on the Conservative line for Congress in the 23rd Congressional District.

Doug Hoffman will stand up to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. He will fight for all the residents of northern New York. He will fight for our proud servicemen and women at Fort Drum, our dairy farmers in Lowville and our manufacturers in Plattsburgh.

As a businessman, and as a life-long resident of the North Country Doug Hoffman understands the need to lower taxes on working families, the need to stand tall against terror and he won’t back phony stimulus programs that fail to create the jobs we need and leaves a mountain of debt to our children.

When elected to Congress Doug will work to reduce our taxes, he will stand tall against those who despise our freedoms and he will be a vigilant stalwart against those who would substitute government programs for individual initiative.

And Doug Hoffman can win.

I urge all the voters of the 23rd Congressional District – Republican Democrat, Independent and Conservative to come out and vote for Doug Hoffman for Congress.

From The Politico

The House Republican leadership is prepared to welcome Doug Hoffman into its ranks, National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Pete Sessions (R-Texas) said Thursday, a sign that the GOP establishment is recalibrating its approach toward the contentious New York special election and the Conservative Party nominee whose candidacy has divided the party.

Doug Hoffman gets big defender- Rush Limbaugh - from world net daily

“The Republican Party, as constituted is as dangerous to this country as the Democrat Party is. ‘But Rush, party loyalty is party loyalty, and the local Republican committee up there has endorsed Scozzafava.’ So? I’m saying the two parties are the same. I guess I need to amend it a little bit, but, man, when I saw that they were running ads, as I say, ruined two hours of my day,” he said.

Exxon’s Latest Quarter Signals A Turn to Natural Gas- from business week

Posted by: Steve LeVine on October 29

Today’s message from Exxon: Think, value, embrace natural gas.

The world’s largest publicly traded oil company reported its third-quarter earnings today, and — apart from its missed profit numbers — natural gas is the most significant story.

It’s been clear for a year or more that Exxon — along with most of Big Oil — is becoming more of a natural gas-led company than a dominant oil play. That’s significant because generally oil earns a lot more money by volume than natural gas. But since accessible conventional oil is in shorter and shorter supply — at least at economical-to-produce costs — Big Oil is making a virtue of the necessity of turning to natural gas for replenishing its reserve base.

From Newser- News that the US gross domestic product jumped 3.5% in the third quarter cheered investors and others, but the cheers will ring hollow if unemployment keeps rising, John Authers writes. Consumer spending rose even as disposable income fell—“ not a pattern that can be sustained for long, and it is inconsistent with the need for US families to pay down their debts,” he notes in the Financial Times.

The U.S. economy would have turned in a far worse performance in the third quarter without help from the federal government. Now the question is whether growth can continue without that support.

Congress and the White House aren’t yet ready to put that issue to the test. On Thursday, the Obama administration endorsed lawmakers’ efforts to extend tax credits for home buyers for another five months and to make them available to more people.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - CIT Group (CIT.N) is likely to file for bankruptcy in the coming days, analysts and experts said.

The lender to small and medium-sized businesses is trying to restructure its debt, and is offering investors two options.

One path would be getting its unsecured debt holders — who hold a total of about $30 billion — to voluntarily exchange their bonds for new securities and equity. That path would avoid a bankruptcy filing.
