2006 Race
In 2006 Hoffman ran again for Congress, and again had little success. He received almost no money from the Republican Party and is quoted as saying "I would have liked to have had a lot more support from the state and particularly the national (Republican) committees. I felt ignored and abandoned." Before the election, a blogger produced a theory by which Hoffman could win this election. David Prunier, an anti-war conservative, would run as an independent. His war stance would split the liberal vote with Nita Lowey, who voted for the Iraq war, thereby giving the election to Hoffman. In the end Prunier did not run.

Famous quotes containing the word race:
“On fields all drenched with blood he made his record in war, abstained from lawless violence when left on the plantation, and received his freedom in peace with moderation. But he holds in this Republic the position of an alien race among a people impatient of a rival. And in the eyes of some it seems that no valor redeems him, no social advancement nor individual development wipes off the ban which clings to him.”
—Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825–1911)
