Former NRCC Chair Tom Cole Endorses Hoffman

As Drew quips, "Who cares? He's from Oklahoma."

He doesn't have the easy familiarity with Candadian-border New York like former Royal Mountie/free-range syrup magnate Newt Gingrich does.

THE WEEKLY STANDARD has learned that veteran and widely-respected Rep. Tom Cole (R, Okla.), former chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee and a member of the GOP Steering Committee and a Deputy GOP House Whip, will be endorsing Doug Hoffman in the NY-23 race.

Meanwhile, the Washington Post says that sources close to "both" camps (not all three?) say Scozzoflava is imploding and it's now a two man race.

That last bit thanks to Hot Air's headlines, drawing a "Whoa" from Allah; main tip courtesy of Dave in Texas.
