From TPM - Here's John Linder's (GA-07) Hoffman endorsement statement
The biggest concern I have with the Republican candidate in this race is that her long held positions on unions, taxes and spending incline me to believe that she will give Nancy Pelosi a Republican vote so that these many outrageous grabs for power and control will be called 'bipartisan.' I am confident that Doug will not do that."
So add Linder to the list of high profile GOP members that are supporting what Newt Gingrich called a purge
"This idea that we're suddenly going to establish litmus tests and all across the country we're going to purge the party of anybody who doesn't agree with us 100 percent; that guarantees Obama's reelection, that guarantees Pelosi as Speaker-for-life," he told Fox News last night.

Here's Hoffman on "fighting for the heart and soul of the Republican party"
Yeah Hoffman something to be proud of - the likes of Bachmann, Armey, Arthur Branch Palin, Rick Santorum and now Linder - who recently equated Obama = Hitler in recent remarks to Politico
Newt Gingrich also had this to say about outsiders weighing in on this race
"So I say to many conservative friends who suddenly decided whether they're from Minnesota, or Alaska, or Texas, they know more than the upstate New York Republicans? I don't think so,"
Well I say we weigh in on Linder's race and get him out of there. I know GA-07 is a tough sell, but this guy is one of the nuttier ones evidenced most recently by his rationale for endorsing the Conservative Party Hoffman - that he doesn't want to give the Democrats a chance to claim bipartisanship
We've added the GA-07 Dem Nominee fund to our Act Blue Page - With a good candidate we can make this a surprise race in 2010.
