Fred Thompson TV ad for Hoffman (C-NY 23)

Fred Thompson has put his money where his mouth is. After earlier endorsing NY-23 conservative candidate Doug Hoffman for Congress, Sen. Thompson has released a TV commercial for Mr. Hoffman. From an email from the Thompson folks:

As you know, Senator Thompson has been actively backing Conservative Republican candidate Doug Hoffman for Congress in a Special Election in New York.

Just moments ago, a TV commercial was released featuring Senator Thompson. The Hoffman campaign is airing the spot throughout the district in the final days!

See the commercial here. This ad will help “seal the deal” – it sets out clearly what is at stake in this election.

Your support of Fred PAC is making it possible for real, conservatives dedicated to First Principles to advance throughout the country. But there is still so much more to do.

A victory in New York next week will be a resounding call to arms for all conservatives in America. Please do all you can to help spread the message to return our nation to the Founding Principles.

Sen. Thompson has widespread support from many who supported him for president in 2008.

Meanwhile, at Real Clear Politics we see that Mr. Hoffman has taken the lead over the Republican and Democrat candidates, a change that has occurred since last Friday when he was in third place.

It would appear that endorsements from such conservative heavy weights as Sarah Palin, Fred Thompson, Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, Dick Armey, Rick Santorum, Steve Forbes, and James Dobson have helped.

Michelle Malkin even provided her space for a guest post from Mr. Hoffman.

Keep an eye on NY-23 because it could be an indication of what is to come.
