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:
“Many times man lives and dies
Betweeen his two eternities,
That of race and that of soul,
And ancient Ireland knew it all.
Whether man die in his bed
Or the rifle knocks him dead,”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
